what rom are you currently on? it might be that you need to be on a gingerbread rom or at least a stock rooted version.
 
I keep getting "Main version is older! Update Fail!" Here's my specs: HBOOT 2.18.0001, Supersonic EVT3 SHIP S-On, MICROP-041f, TouchPanel-ATMEC224_16ab, Radio-2.15.00.12.19, Dec.21, 2011. I'm using Cyanogen Mod 7.2, I have SuperUser, and ROM Manager. I basically wanted to root to try it out. I've tried it, it's great, but I'd like to go back to stock, for now. I have the PC36IMG zipped folder on the root. Any help would be appreciated.

You don't need to unroot to go back to stock. All you need to do is flash a stock rooted ROM. That should be flashed in recovery. As someone will soon tell you, you need to get rid of ROM Manager and flash RA recovery and use that going forward.

yeah like the captain has said rom manager sucks. never use it. it just does not wipe very well and creates more problems then it is worth.

you are getting that because you have a locked bootloader. you can't use the PC36IMG files.

so here are your options:
1.like the captain has said, you can just flash a stock rooted rom or try other roms that gives you the stock feel like mikg3.11.

here is the latest stock rooted rom:
5.07.651.1 - Stock Rooted

here is mikg3.11:
MikG 3.11 Full Wipe

2.you can just flash a stock rom and then re-lock the bootloader
by going into the bootloader on the phone (make sure that it is hooked up via usb to the computer) and type in the command:
Code: 
fastboot oem lock
this will re-lock the bootloader. but you will still have the watermark as the bootloader will instead say re-locked at the top so people will still know that you were unlocked at one point.

3. to truly have the watermark removed, you will need to basically downgrade your misc partition and the use the PC36IMG file to downgrade the bootloader to either 3.70 and use unrevoked to get s-on or 4.54 to get s-on. go to this guide here for more details:http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...-rooting-gingerbread-2-3-5-dummies-guide.html
