Hi all,
This is the message when I tried to install the switch the first time in my network. Any help to solve it would be appreciated.

Same concept with details..
Try usb boot, copy ios image from usb to flash then modify your boot system to boot flash.

switch: boot usbflash0:/cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.06.E.152-2.E6.bin
then "reload"
copy usbflash0: flash:

Complete.
switch(config)# boot system flash:/cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.06.E.152-2.E6.bin
I hope this helps. Good luck!

Hi,
Can you set the boot var, test and reboot?
Config t
boot system flash-1:<ios>
exit
wr
verify using 'sh boot" before reload.

Download the code again, make sure its the right one as you stated your switch model is "WS-C3650-48PS-E" so it should be "cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.06.E.152-2.E6.bin". Try this.
switch: emergency-install usbflash0:/cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.06.E.152-2.E6.bin

Can you give to me the explanation of this error message?? I want to understand.And if this option fails what can I do ?

This is a file system error while verifying image signature due to a corrupt root inode -typically an error generated by a disk/driver failure- the system suggests to run a manual e2fsck (force checking) and its crash file is stored as verify-drivers-xxxx.log. Suggested taken action is to make sure ios image is not corrupted (verify checksum) during the download (format usb again or/use another one). You can usb boot or use tftp to copy the image. and as the last resort if everything fails then you might need to format the flash. Good Luck!

Thanks,
I'm trying to set up the commande line as you showed me.
switch: emergency-install usbflash0://cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.06.E.152-2.E6.bin
The bootflash will be erased during install operation, continue (y/n)?y

Double check your switch model "WS-C3650-48PS-E" re-download the code again, try usb boot:
switch: flash_init
switch: load_helper
switch: set BOOT cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.06.E.152-2.E6.bin
switch: boot usbflash0:/cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.06.E.152-2.E6.bin
if it fails xmodem your image https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxTO5qxti-I

Good luck!

Hi,
I followed the all steps you showed me, it did not work with that ios image but I made it up with the lastest cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.07.05.E.152-3.E5.bin
My switch C3650-48port start as well.
Switch#sh boot
---------------------------
Switch 1
---------------------------
Current Boot Variables:
BOOT variable = flash:/cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.07.05.E.152-3.E5.bin;
Boot Variables on next reload:
BOOT variable = flash:/cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.07.05.E.152-3.E5.bin;
Allow Dev Key = yes
Manual Boot = no
Enable Break = no
Next step, I taped this cmd line "copy usbflash0:cat3k....bin flash", but when I check the flash, this is the message:
Switch#dir flash
%Error opening flash:/flash (No such file or directory)
Why this error message?
04-03-2017 11:01 AM
It's switch#dir flash:/
You should be good then... so apparently cisco recommended ios image didnt work! Good Job!
04-03-2017 11:16 AM
ok good. It's ok. This is the starting message of the Switch...

System extended partitions sda5 and sda6 are not-bootable :)
