Copy to Flash comes up as Invalid input

[plesifaf7]

Hello all, I ran "Factory-Reset all" on our Catalyst 9200L 48P mistakenly thinking that would reset the configs on the Switch. I've booted up the bin file via usbflash0 on the ROMMON menu, but once I'm on the switch and attempt to copy the bin file to flash I get "% Invalid input detected at '^' marker". Can I get some guidance on what might be causing this command to fail when I see it as the answer to copying the bin to flash?

Like what the other forums have recommended:  Boot the firmware from the USB and then copy the firmware into the flash when the switch boots up normally.

Hello @plesifaf7 ,

try using the IOS interactive help to pinpoint what option of the command is causing the "% Invalid input detected at '^' like this:

SW#copy ?
/erase Erase destination file system.
/error Allow to copy error file.
/noverify Don't verify image signature before reload.
