as i mentioned before the device you booting with latest version, why you want to boot with old version ?

based on the output if you still like to boot old one change as below - check before you change

show boot

show run | in boot (if any boot variable there - remove

no boot system xxxxxxxxxxxxx

boot system flash flash0:c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.152-4.M6a.bin   (iif you like to boot 15.2 image)

boot system flash flash0:c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.157-3.M6.bin  (if you like to boot with new image)

end

write config and reboot the router.

Once rebooted with correct image, you can apply for RTU License.

Hello @kram0925 ,

post

output of

dir /all

likely your system has only a flash named flash: and it has no bootflash:

this is the likely reason for:

>> device does not contain a valid FS
loadprog: error - on file open
boot: cannot load "bootflash:c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.152-4.M6a.bin"

Hope to help

Giuseppe

The image SPA.152-4.M6a works fine on another cisco 2900 router where i copied it from. The reason why i want this on my router is because my current version doesn't support telephony-service command.

 

Look at the UC license -- "NONE".

hi,

try below, save and reload.

as leo mentioned, you'll need to install the UC license or temporarily activate an eval license.

no boot system
boot system flash0:c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.152-4.M6a.bin
