no images in/ error 15: file not found: unable to boot image

[MMG]

Hello

My ASA 5512-x is unable to boot due to above-mentioned incident.

It keeps on looping and returning the same error message

I tried to boot it in ROMMON but nothing positive happed

 Can you please help me with regard?

Do I need to reload the software or what?

First question, how this FW got in to ROMON, is this part of Upgrade or Crashed ?

Can you post complete logs, so we can suggest to boot from TFTP to get working ?

Hi BB

FW tries to boot on normal mode, but it fails with the aforementioned incident

That's why I tried to boot it on ROMMON to see if it can boot

[balaji.bandi]

Do you have access to console, so can you post full logs of boot process. so we can identify the issue,

is that because no image or flash failed ?

Hi BB

Please find attached herewith logs

Follow the below procedure boot from TFTP, try fsck or format flash. ( hope you have backup config,. you can restore once it booted normally).
