pls. help me guys!!!
i have a problem with my cisco 1721 router i cannot
find the image only the rommon > prompt appeared.
problems:
"device does not contain a valid magic number."
"boot: cannot open "flash:"
"boot: cannot determine first file name on device
"flash:"
what i did was i used the xmodem, coz i don't have
tftp server, but still i can't download the ios
software image. there's a "timeout waiting for header
-aborting download...." what will i do now?

Hi Sev,
Error message:
"device does not contain a valid magic number."
"boot: cannot open "flash:"
"boot: cannot determine first file name on device
"flash:"
It means you downloaded the wrong file. it must be *.bin (let say c1721-xx-xxx.bin).
You can visit this URL:

Hope this helps.

Sev,
You have to request it from authorized cisco dealer/resseller in your country. By the way, is your router is a new one or your just upgrading the IOS?
If you can do the "show version" in your router, get the info and send to cisco.
