You cant flash a firmware with a lower bootloader number. The fifth digit from the right is the bl version. You are trying to flash a firmware with bl version 3 over you're current version 4 so just flash a firmware with version 4 and you should be good.

Never ever try to downgrade your bootloader to go to an older rom by the way. I tried it and had to replace my phones motherboard.just fyi
