I have posted a response where it links to Cisco document which gives specific instruction about how to load an IOS into a switch that is in ROMmon. Have you read it?

Does the 2960C have a USB port?
If it does, copy the IOS file into a thumb drive and use the command "boot usbflash0:filename.bin".

I have this error message:
Switch: boot
Loading "flash:/c2960c405-universalk9-mz.122-55.EX3/c2960c-405-universalk9-mz.122-55.EX3.bin"...flash:/c2960c405-universalk9-mz.122-55.EX3/c2960c-405-universalk9-mz.122-55.EX3.bin: invalid argument

Interrupt within 5 seconds to abort process.
Boot Process Failed...
I did the interrupt and I have this:
switch:
Using driver version 1 for media type 1
Base Ethernet Mac Address: 38:1c:1a:67:27:00
Xmodem file system is available.
The password recovery mechanism is enabled.
The system has been interrupted prior to initializing the flash filesystem. The following commands will initialize the flash filesystem, and finish loading the operating software:
flash_init
boot
I ran the flash_init and received the message :done initializing flash.
the boot is read only. I need help

If you (tried to) boot a switch and it doesn't have a valid IOS to read, the switch goes immediately to ROMmon.
If you've "tried to get it to ROMmon" (sic) then something does not sound right. It's either the switch is in ROMmon or not. Which is it?
