"xmodem:: permission denied" when upgrading IOS through ROMMON

arifdatau · ‎02-02-2011

I need help, I was trying to upgrade my router 2691 with c2691-entservicesk9-mz.124-13b.bin from the old IOS c2691-adventerprisek9-mz.124-25b.bin and maybe the file got corrupted so no matter I tried to solved it still did not work. I guess I just got stuck and I have no idea how to fix it. Please take a moment look at this and perhaps you could tell me what is wrong with this. I thanks in advance for this.

Looks like the image is deleted status. Here are few things u can try

If the router has two built-in Ethernet or fast Ethernet interfaces, always use the first interface (usually 0/0). You must use the built-in interface. For example, if a Cisco 1700 series router has a WIC-1ENET card installed, the tftpdnld ROMmon command does not work with that card.

All variable commands must be upper case. The variable itself is case sensitive as in the case of a filename, as shown in the following example:

rommon11>TFTP_FILE=c2600-i-mz.120-7.T.bin

TFTP_FILE= must be upper case and c2600-i-mz.120-7.T.bin is case sensitive.

The DEFAULT_GATEWAY= address should not be the same address as the IP_ADDRESS= variable. This causes the process to fail. Set the DEFAULT_GATEWAY= variable to the address of the TFTP server.

The following example shows how to perform a tftpdnld ROMmon command recovery procedure with a TFTP server at the 10.1.1.2 address, a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask, and a filename of c2600-is-mz.120-7.T.bin.:

rommon 16 > IP_ADDRESS=10.1.1.1
!--- This is the temporary IP address assigned to the router.
rommon 17 > IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0
!--- Same as on the TFTP server.
rommon 18 > DEFAULT_GATEWAY=10.1.1.2
!--- Use the IP address of the TFTP server.
rommon 19 > TFTP_SERVER=10.1.1.2
!--- TFTP server's IP address.
rommon 20 > TFTP_FILE=c2600-is-mz.120-7.T.bin
!--- Exact name is case sensitive.
rommon 21 > TFTP_CHECKSUM=0
!--- This prevents checksum errors with earlier 2600 boot ROMs.
rommon 22 > tftpdnld 
!--- This command must be lower case.

IP_ADDRESS: 10.1.1.1
           IP_SUBNET_MASK: 255.255.255.0
           DEFAULT_GATEWAY: 10.1.1.2
           TFTP_SERVER: 10.1.1.2
           TFTP_FILE: c2600-is-mz.120-7.T.bin

     Invoke this command for disaster recovery only.
     WARNING: all existing data in all partitions on flash will be lost!
