 Use

show logging

after attempted

rommon-upgrade

attempt , look for additional info's if any , what software version is the ISR running, if possible upgrade to latest advisory release and try

rommon-upgrade 

again afterwards.

That is why I need to upgrade the rommon.....

Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 03.16.02.S - Extended Support Release
Cisco IOS Software, ISR Software (X86_64_LINUX_IOSD-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.5(3)S2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

And I have already uploaded the new IOS to the router:

sh run | i boot
boot-start-marker
boot system flash bootflash:isr4300-universalk9.17.03.04a.SPA.bin
boot system flash bootflash:isr4300-universalk9.03.16.05.S.155-3.S5-ext.SPA.bin
boot-end-marker

Ok, I think I know what this is.  

I do not think it is possible to go from 15.X.Xr to 16.X.Xr is a single upgrade.  Try an intermediate version, like 16.4(3r), and see if the upgrade works.  IF the upgrade to 16.4(3r) works, then upgrade to the final version.

 - Aligning with Leo's remarks  : first upgrade the ISR to the nearest version which does not need

rommon-upgrade

. Then try

rommon-upgrade 

again.

Solved the issue with this rom:

• isr4200_4300_rommon_1612_2r_SPA.pkg

sh rom-monitor r0

Did anyone get a proper solution to this?

I am getting the same error and the solution just says sh rom-monitor r0 above. I have tried using a different rommon version too and I get the same errror:
