@razeev rohilla HTH https://community.cisco.com/t5/switching/converting-the-switch-from-bundle-mode-to-install-mode/td-p/4416005

Post note--

latest mode is install mode. according to the output of flash files, it seems like you are in install mode. first you need to tell us your intention as mentioned by Leo.

Please rate this and mark as solution/answer, if this resolved your issue
Good luck

Hi kasun,

i want to use it as a single switch or you can say autonomous, standalone. I am not able to use it as normal switch. it stuck in rommon mode. below is the output of flash.

Wait a second ... WTF are you, exactly, trying to do? 

 

The presence of

.PKG

files means the switch is in Install Mode.  Are you saying you want to boot in Bundle Mode? 

If this is the case, what is the rationale behind this demented idea?

Hi Leo,

i want to use it as a normal switch. But it stuck in ROMMON Mode. it not showing classic IOS bootable file in flash. Can you please check logs that i have copied. It showing Bundle image. Some parts of logs FYR.

This is the reason why the switch always boot into

ROMMON

Try this:  SWITCH_IGNORE_STARTUP_CFG=0

And then reboot the switch.

What else?
