Help Main Version is Older

[Nate1n22]

When I press the power and volume down button on my Evo, it immediately starts checking my SD cards then says "Main version is older"

I have tried hard resetting the phone but it still says this.

Any help?

Do you have a PC36IMG.zip file on the root of your sdcard? A hard reset won't do anything about that. If you're just trying to get to hboot normally, delete the PC36IMG file I'm going to assume is there. If you're trying to unroot or something and are actually trying to flash a PC36IMG file, you have the wrong one. You need to flash one that matches your hboot version. If that is the case, let me know what your hboot version is, and I'll get the right file for you.

I was trying to root my phone about a month ago. Thanks for the reply, I'll try deleting that now.

Got it, that makes sense too. Once you're done with those files, you need to make sure to delete them or else they'll try to flash every time you go to hboot.

It worked man, thanks a lot. Such a simple fix, haha.

 

[akazabam]

Haha, 95% of the time it's the simple things. Sometimes messages and whatnot are a bit cryptic to the point that the fix isn't necessarily obvious. I'm glad it worked for you .

I got it rooted finally too. Awhile ago unrevoked didn't work with 2.10 and it was frustrating, now I finally got it

 

[akazabam]

Yeah, that method was definitely not as easy for those not familiar with the steps. Unrevoked has made it much easier.

Welcome to the forums. Here is the PC36IMG.zip that you need. Make sure you read the instructions in the rooting for dummies guide on how to unroot, first.
