As it says "Cant install ... Over newer build"

There exist a checking at the update-script which compares the date (or another value) of the already flashed version and the version you try to flash...

If I'm not wrong, it's something (key) at the build.prop which you have to edit to an older date...

You will find the update-script at \META-INF\com\google\android inside the zip which you want to install... I think at the first line you will find this check and also which key at the build.prop would be checked and with which value...

(you can open the zip with e.g. winrar and navigate to \META-INF\com\google\android and have a look at the update-script....)

Thanks ive got the issue solved now..I manage to get a boot.bin that allowed the install to run straight without goin into recovery and that worked a treat. Mind your I found out that stans rom was much slower in Internet speed than finless so I might just go back to finless and start making that up for the box thanks again everyone here has been really helpful even through I'm not that confident with all the scrip and bin files etc I still manage to fix my lil problem.
