Root Rooting issue

brewers

Newbie
Trying to root my thunderbolt. Running MR1. Using the instructions posted on xda for ADB rooting method, I can push busybox, misc.img, and psneuter. I can can even get # in adb shell. However, when I go to flash to downgrade image, i get an error stating main verison is older. I've tried restarting the computer, removing android SDK and redownloading. Ive redownloaded the exploit and image files. Nothing seems to work. Any advice?
 
Try it again,and then paste a copy of your entire session from the command window into a reply here.

Only thing that jumps to mind is if you're using an leaked image of Mr1,maybe something to do with that? Try getting the ota to take you to Mr2 and try rooting that(I just rooted Mr2 with the manual method)
 
heres my session,if it helps:
