Kali Linux Unable to Update to Upgrade

I recently upgraded to the new kali linux rolling and found myself unable to get updates as i constantly get 404 error and 'hash sum error mismatch'

I then tried to apt-get upgrade but also produce the same results

This is my source list

I was also unable to install the linux headers

Can someone pls help me ? I tried many sources but no to avail ,thanks in advanced

did you use these commands from https://www.kali.org/news/kali-linux-rolling-edition-2016-1/ to upgrade?
-----------------------
cat << EOF > /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
EOF

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
reboot

-----------------------------------

I did not upgrade from sana to rolling i download the iso from the offical site and start from scratch and the checksum was correct., I'm sure i configured the source list correctly but still got 404 error and hash sum mismatch

at 48% of dist-upgrading it is stopping,plz guide me what i want to do...

man you saved my life thanks man it worked after a long day u saved me thanks a lot man

Put a # in front of lines:
3rd, 4th, 6th and 7th

then:
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
reboot

I tried it but still getting errors, i then tried using a Vpn to get updates and somehow it work I'm not from US so i think somewhat the mirrors in my country is broken or maybe my isp is blocking it. what should i do as using Vpn to get updates takes a long time ...
