Hi, a while ago i received 16 routers and they all didnt work: The solution
But the router i used to try the solutions now isn't able to go thru with this solution when i boot the router it gives this output and stays in a loop of this:
Initializing Hardware ... Checking for PCIe device presence...done System integrity status: 0x610 Rom image verified correctly System Bootstrap, Version 16.12(2r), RELEASE SOFTWARE Copyright (c) 1994-2019 by cisco Systems, Inc. Current image running: Boot ROM0 Last reset cause: LocalSoft ISR4221/K9 platform with 4194304 Kbytes of main memory ........ unable to open bootflash:isr4200- (14) ........ autoboot: boot failed, restarting...

Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello,
After trying some solutions i tried the following and it worked:
!!! BEFORE !!!
Before you do this command you should know this delete's you're enitre configuration of the router.
The command is: wr erase
Before you restart make sure there is a binfile on the router.

Hi,
If you are not able to break this loop using break key and you don't have access to rommon then unfortunately you need to raise a TAC case for replacement

Well i am able to go into the rommon mode but when i assign the new bin file and boot the device it starts the loop.

Values in the boot variable statement are set incorrectly.

Get the router to boot the correct file using the following command:
boot isr4200-universalk9_ias.16.12.04.SPA.bin
Once the router boots up successfully, remove the incorrect boot statements.
And then initiate Install Mode using the following command:
install add file bootflash:isr4200-universalk9_ias.16.12.04.SPA.bin activate commit
The system will start to unpack the IOS file and will create a file called "packages.conf".
Change the boot variable string to point to this file:
conf t boot system flash bootflash:packages.conf end wr
Make sure the config-registry is correct: 0x2102
Reboot the router.
Hope this helps.

I have tried this but its still in the same loop.
11-05-2020 03:46 AM
If still in ROMMON, post the entire output to the following commands:
dir set
Post the entire bootup process from the beginning.
11-05-2020 06:41 AM
dir didnt work but dir flash: and bootflash: worked here are the outputs.

*Sigh*.
The boot variable string is still set incorrect.
From ROMMON enter the following command to force the router to boot:
boot packages.conf
Once the router boots the IOS, post the complete output to the following command:
sh run | b boot

I was trying some solutions online and then deleted the packages.conf file..
11-09-2020 01:05 AM
I am trying to remove the current bootvar files but they just wont get removed:

WTF.
When correctly booted into IOS, post the complete output to the following command:
sh boot
