Good evening. I am new to HTC phones (and unlocked phones in general). I am having trouble flashing a kernel using a PH98IMG.zip file. When it goes in the bootloader I get an error that says "Main Version Older Update Failed." I am able to flash a boot.img via Fastboot, but I am receiving wifi errors. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

What kernel are you trying to flash?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
How weird that someone else would post the same issue I'm having, when I've flashed several kernels in the past few days with no problems.
At some point, I've flashed every Sense-based kernel in the Rezound dev section. And now, for some strange reason, I'm getting the error described above.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
The Beeb
I'm going to guess you flashed the leak? If you did here is another thread to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446273

No I never flashed the leak. Do you think that fixed would work? Well guess I should say if it doesn't work do you think it will cause any harm to the phone's system?
Thanks again.

Try flashing the kernel in fastboot.
I am having the same issue now also after I flash the BAMF's latest ROM. Their update log says they updated to the new base, and after that I can't to flash anything in hboot anymore. I can still ADB push the boot.img but no flashing. I also tried to revert to complete stock by flashing the RUU and get the same thing. It's says my system is newer and won't flash.

So you can't fastboot flash boot <boot.img> from your PC??

Sorry, yes, I can do that.
That's the only way that I can push a boot.img now. I know the kernel devs have a way to flash their kernel in recovery then automatically push you into hboot to flash the PH98IMG.zip file with the boot.img inside it. Flashing anything in fastboot now results in the error message above except for the BAMF ROM.
Having the same problem after updating to bamf cubed 102.
My main version sig updated when I flashed the leaked kernel. fastboot should always work, and would have saved me from the dumb mistake had i flashed in fastboot to begin with.
But my guess is that somehow u flashed a PH98IMG.zip file that was the leaked kernel.
I'm not sure how to find out what version the sig thinks it is running but since I know what the leak was, I can edit the .txt file in the PH98IMG.zip and make it work, like said in the thread.
Well this sucks! It definitely started when I flashed the new bamf cubed rom. So does this mean I can never flash a boot.img unless I do it with fastboot and a pc? So I cant just put the file on my sdcard and reboot into fastboot? Can this be fixed? Thanks!!!!

The same issue also started for me when I flashed BAMF Cubed. Looks like dsb mention on the BAMF Cubed Rom thread that with S-On we can't easily change the base that was changed this with update. Looks like we will be using Fastboot until more developers use the newer version. Glad to know its not something I managed to screw up lol.

Thanks a lot for all of the help everyone.
You might be able to replace the android-info.txt in the PH98IMG.zip with the one from dsb's kernel, making the hboot think you're not flashing backwards. Not positive if that works though.

This does work, but you have to pull the file from his cube1.02 ROM not from his kernel.

**** someone needs to tell dsb or whoever to put it back to the old version. If your mainver gets updated, you can't run RUUs. So you could be stuck with a brick until we get the official ICS RUU

my main sig updated, and it is far from a brick..
Infact it's not a very big deal at all, it's something that should be avoided by all costs I absolutely 100% agree with that.
but the phone will still be able to use RUU's, the update will be ICS anyway..
This is confirmed by jcase.
I completely agree with stopping this from happening to anyone else. But no need to scare them by saying your phone is a brick because the sig updated.
How exactly do you consider the phone to be a brick anyway? JW, not trying to be an a-hole by any means here.
the only problem is the need to change the PB98IMG.zip .txt file and cant use an RUU until we get an OTA, ICS will be the next OTA update anyway.

do you use Stock ROM?
also, can't you just pull the rom.zip from ruu then rename to PB98IMG.zip and replace the.txt?

Agreed that it's FAR from bricked, but it's just more of an annoyance. You can't use the easy flash script that all the kernel devs and ROM devs are using now. You have to manually update the .txt file yourself inoder to be able to flash it. (Or adb push it from a computer)
And yes you are correct about the RUU, you can probably just replace the txt file in it with the moded version (I didn't think of trying that even though I am doing that will the kernels that I have download from here).
I was only trying to RUU to see if it would undo what was done... just for ease of use for me. I like to browse these forums from tapatalk and download a new kernel when it's released (hasn't been for a while, come on devs ) and test it out. I can't do that now without a computer. So I was just trying to undo that is all.

yea you are right but either way i still wanted to flash previous ruu's for the purpose of the radios as well. it was kind of a two in one thing.

do you mean just flash it straight from a sd card without having to do the goldcard thing? because i tried that and it wasnt let me do it. i dont know if it was because i did something wrong or maybe typed the .zip name incorrectly. it just wasnt working. i will try it again once i get home.
You can't flash .zip files until you get root.
You can flash Pxxxximg.zips via hboot if they are straight from HTC. I am not sure what prevents the flashing of the older RUU though because I would want to try out the radios from it to see if I get better reception in buildings.

Yea see that was my main reasoning to do it. That's why I was going to try the gold card thing to see if I could revert back to the older ruu because on campus I get horrible signal inside the buildings.

Well if it is an RUU for the Vigor I don't see why they wouldn't be.
OP, have you tried flashing via fastboot?
im in the process of flashing it right now. its just taking a while so give me a little bit and i will let you all know.
Edit: yea its still not working. it says bootloader version error. im guessing because i am going backwards??
have you tried just doing fastboot flash system system.img?
if you are trying to flash the whole thing it is probably complaining because it doesn't want to downgrade HBoot to avoid exploitation.

Edit: i have the radio image and system image if anyone wants it as well.
S-ON prevents the flashing of *ANY* unsigned images, be it an RUU or a system.img in either fastboot or HBOOT. Anything flashed will need to be signed directly by HTC. Also, S-ON prevents the flashing of any RUU that's older than the currently flashed version as described in the android-info.txt file inside the PH98IMG.zip file.

THE BEST WAY TO GET THE NEW FIRMWARE IS TO RELOCK, RUN THE NEW RUU, UNLOCK, THEN REFLASH RECOVERY AND RE-ROOT WITH THE TUTORIAL IN MY SIGNATURE.
THIS IS GINGERBREAD NOT ICS
Thanks to hgoldner for taking the time to install the OTA update and get me a rooted system image to work with!
Anyway...
This is the late January/early Feburary GingerBread OTA update integrated into the rezound shipped stock rom. No new features other than what the OTA adds other than root and custom recovery based installation support. That isn't the point of this rom.
What will this get you:
1. New stock rom with OTA update built in
2. New firmware like hboot, radio, etc. Won't impact the ability to unlock/relock
3. Any rom fixes htc made.
If this doesn't work for some reason, it is probably my fault but it should work. Any damage caused to your device is your problem, not mine, hgoldner, htc, anyone except you. This does push the new firmware to your device via a PH98IMG.zip. If this could brick, but is very unlikely. The PH image is UNTOUCHED from the HTC release.
Thanks to ardreissig for the reupload!
Download
Info on installing. You unfortunately have to relock for the firmware flash to occur if you are S-ON.
So if you want firmware (these are abbreviated, general outline steps for more advanced users):
1: Install in recovery
2: Relock if you are S-ON. Remember this will wipe your internal sd card. But since you just installed the rom from a clean flash you won't lose app data and such.
3. Install PH98IMG.zip deposited by my rom on the card
4. Unlock if you are S-ON
OP updated 6/22 to future proof instructions.
Thank you.

It was NOT because of the mainver as I did not receive a "mainver older" error and it was already updated to the one I have within the PH zip (I checked). I did in fact have to relock for the update to take.

You're a cool guy, and I don't wanna argue with you as it's just a miscommunication.
Yes, you are correct that you can run this ROM without flashing the PH98IMG.zip file (as stated in the OP.. you just skip the Bootloader portion of it).
..but as to your comment about "confusing" people.. this is what I said:
"This work for anyone? I got some sort of error when it tried to flash the PH portion in Bootloader.
EDIT: Are we supposed to fastboot OEM lock before this?
EDIT2: I guess so. Seems to be working now."
As we can see here, I was clearly referring to the PH flashing portion in the Bootloader. If anything, this should help anyone that didn't think to do so as it was not stated in the OP (not dissing the OP in any way, shape, or form as he contributes A LOT to the community and is probably my stupidity in not realizing anyway).
Also, the ROM does automatically reboot to Bootloader.. so I believe it's a good piece of information.
Take that for what its worth

I got a version uploading without firmware. Its not your version but will do the same thing if people cant wait. I grabbed the OTA update, revert to RUU, applied, etc...
I'm using the latest version of Joelz Sense Redefined and occasionally my phone would just restart when I'm using it. It happened to me today and it won't boot back up. I got it into fastboot by holding down and power after a battery pull but when I choose any of the options, it just shows me the HTC screen and the turns off. It also won't charge...I haven't had this before. Is there something like ODIN for HTC phones?
I don't know what ODIN is but if you're willing to start over you can run the RUU and get yourself back to stock. You'd have to download the latest 2.x version, relock the phone in fastboot, make sure you have HTC Sync installed on your pc, run RUU. Then you can flash Amon Ra again and install su from the AR developer menu to regain root. Then you can flash a ROM again.
Fera,
Thanks for the response. I was downloading an RUU in hopes that would work, but I currently can't find anyone offering them for more than a few kbps.
Did you remember to delete the .img file from your SD card the last time you did an install?
Yeah, I just used Scott's CleanFlash to flash the img.
RUUing actually failed. Said I had the wrong bootloader or something. I had indeed relocked.

There isn't one but try searching for Awesome Recovery Tool in the dev section. It automates mainver workarounds. If that doesn't help your situation search "mainver" as you need to do a fix since your phone is on a higher mainver than the official one due to the ICS leak.

Well you won't get a 3.x RUU until the official ICS release afaik.
You said you can get into fastboot? Try flashing Amon Ra again, I read that v3.10 is best for ICS. And maybe the kernel in case that got corrupted.

I'm on the stock, rooted gingerbread ROM right now with an unlocked bootloader and if I try to flash any ROM whether it's a gingerbread or ICS ROM I always get the same message when the phone reboots to the bootloader to flash the kernel.
What can I do about this?
After I first unlocked my phone I tried to install an ICS rom then I installed a gingerbread rom after and I never saw that message once. Then I started seeing it so I went back to stock to see if that would fix my issue but it hasn't.

It mostly mean your htc rezound is on a newer main version of software you going to need to downgrade by changing the number here a link to help you do this and take out the older message that come up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467099
So, theoretically, if I take it all the way back down to 1.00.000.0 I could be able to flash anything because whatever I flash will always be greater than the main version.

Until you flash something that updates your mainver lol.

Which a lot of roms and kernels do. Its a very annoying issue.
If the main versions are the same will it still throw the same error?
Nope. Only when the mainver is older.

Well it works. Anyone have any idea how I keep getting stuck at the HTC screen when I flash some roms (ICS ones mostly). I've never made it past the HTC screen with CleanRom and now I'm on the new Bamf ICS 0.5 rom and I'm sitting here stuck again. The kernel flashed successfully in the bootloader so I'm not sure why I keep getting stuck.

Replied.
...Gingerbread roms aren't working either. I have flashed 1 ICS rom and 2 Gingerbread roms in the past but for some reason now, I can't flash anything.
I'm wondering if flashing the stock RUU and relocking, then unlocking again and reflashing Amon Ra would fix the issue. After I originally unlocked was the only time I could ever successfully flash anything.
Don't see how locking and re-unlocking would make a difference.

Flashing the RUU requires relocking.

I'm running out of options.
Before I begin, I've read through a lot of threads on different forums and have yet to find a solution (that's working for me.)
I could never get my device to S-OFF so simply dropped the task. Not in too big of a rush right now. That being said, I'd like to go back to GB for a bit just to try a few things out.
I never flashed the ICS firmware, therefor I've had to use the old firmware patches. So, I tried running the RUU for GB and it only encountered error after error and my phone stayed at the black HTC screen. Any ideas?
Phone works just fine, just rebooted while I was typing this post and went straight into my ROM.
Only way I found is S-off'd, I had to go back to GB after ICS since it came on the phone I bought and needed to return it. Everyone told me I had to S-Off then RUU
If s on make sure you relock bootloader, then you should be able to run the gb ruu for whichever version you were on.

Downgrading radios when s-on could very well hard brick your phone. I strongly recommend that you s-off first.

Pick a Gingerbread based rom and flash. Try out Chingy's Ineffabilis gingerbread.

If you never ran an ics ruu you still were on gb firmware....so you can run a gb ruu. When you run the same ruu that's not downgrading....sheesh :rolleyes . And its probably the easiest way to get back to a working phone if you are lost and don't really know what you are doing.

Tried that. RUU said "Could not update your phone at this time."
I came from stock GB originally in...April. Is there a specific RUU for that?
I've never used RUU's before so I'm lost.
aaand now, I'm pretty sure my phone is a brick. It's re-locked now, can't go into recovery, won't boot into ROM.

Still only a soft brick. Would suggest trying the other of the two GB RUU .exe version packages if you only tried one of them, just a suggestion until someone else can help you and diagnose.

Try running that one again. It should work. You have to run it twice anyway

Tried. It's stuck on the "Verifying the information on your PDA Phone...Please wait..." screen.
EDIT: Nevermind, went into Fastboot, working now. Let you know how it goes. Thanks for the help so far.
I'm getting a bootloader version error. An ICS RUU should fix this, right? Granted, I know that means I can't go back until I S-Off, but I'd rather that than have a soft bricked phone
I am in the same boat - S-ON. I flashed Scott's ICS Rooted Stock Rom, along with the GB Patch. I downloaded the PH98IMG.zip and HBOOT doesn't recognize it. Trying the exe may resolve this?
Issue resolved thanks to dsb in the IRC channel. For some reason, I thought I had to throw the unlock.bin on my SD card to unlock.
And to the guy above me, try pushing it through adb. Extract the ROM, find the boot.img, throw it into your ADB directory.
adb reboot bootloader
(make sure you're in fastboot USB)
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hate to ask you this, but would you mind giving me a step by step on what you did to get back to GB?

With the new leak out, I haven't. However, I can still help.
Make sure there is no P98IMG file on your SD card.
1. Download the mainver fix from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23169557&postcount=4
2. Drop GB ROM of your choice onto SD card.
3. Flash the fix in recovery and reboot into bootloader.
4. Relock your phone by going into adb and typing in fastboot oem lock
5. Run GB RUU of your choice.
6. Use the HTCDev unlock on your bootloader
7. Download a recovery and push it to your phone by typing in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8. Boot into recovery, flash ROM, enjoy.
