[q] main version is older!!!!!!!! - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

im trying to put stock froyo on my htc incredible but when i go into hboot it trys to update to it but it says "update failed main version is older" can someone please help me with this?

Where are you getting the froyo rom at? You might have to find a flashable one and do it in recovery, or factory reset so you don't have a newer version.

How comfortable are you with ADB, Mr. Schust3r5? if you use this string of ADB commands it will allow you to flash the older froyo PB31IMG.zip so you can root.

Start at step 4) downgrade with ADB.
Good Luck!

Unable to unroot from simpleroot

Well I need to help my friend Unroot her Evo.
I have tried the PC36IMG image copying and that didnt work. It would keep telling us that the main version is older and tell her to reboot. When i tried to use the RUU exe it would tell us...
HTC Android Phone Rom Update Utility 1.0.2.10
ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct Update Utility and try again.
I dont understand since we're using the HTC Evo 4g one. She also already had the Htc sync connect.
Any ideas on what the problem could be. She has the latest update and currently is using the Fresh ROM.
Do the flash_image misc mtd-eng.img part of toast's part 2. That will reset the build number. Then flash the pc36img.zip through hboot.
Also: Wrong forum.
Not wrong forum. Maybe wrong thread but not wrong forum.

either post in the thread that contains the rom or recovery in question or post the question in Q&A.
you'll have more luck if you post in the thread about the rom or recovery you are using.
I am confused. She has the latest update but is running Fresh ROM? Is she running the Froyo OTA update?
If she wants to unroot her phone just wait until tuesday when the release the Froyo RUU

I am also trying to unroot coming from Simple Root and can not simply run the RUU due to the Version Error. I can not follow Toast's Part 2 due to the fact I can not mount the sdcard, and the ls command returns no results in recovery (but will while OS is running).
I am at a loss as how to proceed...
Didnt Work...
same issue here....
put the img mtd-eng.img on root of card go terminal and type.
su
flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img
reboot
all will go fine then run an ruu ota
it will work fine
I was a simpleroot user too. and had the same issues.

Don't know properly but let me try to answer,
u can only apply update.zip on recovery if they are signed by htc as its s-on and no one is still came with root for hboot 1.01.x its hardly locked so sign by htc for that update.zip is needed.
In simple, Not possible unless signed by htc...

talking about wildfire with S-ON here....
S-ON actually checks the update files whether they are signed by htc or not, and installs only the signed ones.
As ur hboot is 1.01 with S-ON, u must be on official froyo. In that case, u shouldn't be having another update file signed by htc presently. So u will be getting the error "Signature Verification Failed".
Why dont u try that as there is no harm in doing so. First copy ur update.zip file to the root of the sd card. then reboot into hboot menu and select recovery. U will see a red triangle. Now press the volume up + power key. There u will find the option to install update. So try it and check the error. And AFAIK, it is almost impossible to spoof the signature of htc.
If u have enough time, try this one also (only on ur wildfire with hboot 1.01 and S-ON). Get the official froyo ota update of ur region. It will be a zip file signed by htc. Put that zip file in the root of the memory card and rename the zip file to "update.zip" . Then go to recovery and try to install this. It will be installed because it is signed by htc (and moreover it is not a downgraded one).
Hi bharat, I am trying to do an OTA manually the version released last in India.
I got the following error, with "status 7". I was already having Froyo from an RUU update that I did, is that the reason for getting the error "Status 7"

Sorry, don't know about that "status 7" error.
Try to give more details and u might get answer frm someone. hboot version (0.80 or 1.01.0001 or 1.01.0002), S-ON or S-OFF (expecting s-on), Region of phone manufacture, Which froyo ruu u have used.
EDIT: Just googled the "status 7" error. Seems like it was the problem with rooted phone. So if ur phone is rooted, i think u will have to unroot ur phone first for the OTA update to work. And be aware of that OTA update will make ur phone unrootable (as now)
[im expecting u have used a rooted froyo rom (a zip file not an exe file)]

search next time and you would have found your answer. and questions DO NOT belong in the development section. that could have been avoided by reading the stickies. which btw, would have lead you right to the thread to unroot. my advice, dont post in this thread again to let it die else you will get flamed back to the stone age.
i did follow that but i get an error :O and my bad for posting in the wrong section

Help rooting

Good Morning,
I got myself in a situation and I'm not sure how to get out of. My phone is rooted and before had s-off with hboot .93 and baseband 2.15.00.0808. I wanted to try a rom that only worked with certain versions of hboot. So I updated my hboot to 0.97 and I lost my s-off. Currently I can't use unrevoked because my baseband is not supported. I also can't use revolutionary because my hboot is not supported. Is there anything I can do to get my s-off again thank you.

Have you tried running an RUU.exe from fastboot? Maybe the 4.53 update, so you can be able to root with Revolutionary.
Here is Football's RUU folder.

Good Luck and good morning to you too.
atapia984 - So your saying download and install 4.53 update. I need to place that on my sd card on the setup to flash the phone. Also will that update my hboot

No these are RUU.exe you run from your Windows machine. You could also try Captain_Throwback's PC36IMG.zip's you can flash from the HBOOT from the post here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16949711&postcount=15
either the 4.54 or the 3.70 so you will be able to root with either Unrevoked or Revolutionary.
Ok its downloaded just curious do you think this will brick my device before I go through and install it just want to be sure Its not going to brick it
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/194918-rooting-dummies.html
I tried this and I got error failed to get root is your firmware to new.
If succesful an RUU restores your device back to stock firmware. There should not be a brick.

Make sure you have the necessary drivers for Windows.

Have you tried the PC36IMG.zip?
According to G&E all HBoots are now downgradeable as of 3/15/12 so try downgrading back to your old HBOOT that worked. There's also a thread on here, I think it (Radios) by Caulkin it where I get all the latest radios, combo zips, hboot versions and more, great resource, good luck.

Just use the 4.54 PC36IMG.zip file from my post that someone linked earlier, and flash it through Bootloader. Then you can re-root/unlock using Revolutionary.

Help needed...unrooting "Main Version is older"

Hello everyone. I need some assistance and I hope I can get some help.
I am trying to unroot my phone, I was able to flash s-on, but when I go to load pc36img, I get the following message-
"Main version is older! Update Fail!"
Do I need an older pc36img file? Or something else?
I have attached a picture of my screen showing my info.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Are you trying to flash a recovery image or an RUU?
