Can't load IOS-software crash HELP

I have Cisco 831 router and have been trying to upgrade to newer IOS version (c831-k9o3sy6-mz.123-11.T2)

Since I performed my ugrade, the system keeps crashing and looping itself. Here is the description:

CHnaging crypto engine: Onboard: 0 state change to: INIT

System INIT: INSUFFICIENT MEMORY TO BOOT FILE IMAGE!

Software-forced reload

.

.

.

.

***System received a Software forced crash***

After that it restarts again, decompresing image and showing te same error.

I assume that it cannot boot properly because IOS image file is bigger than the available flash memiry on my router...

I've been trying to use Ctrl+Break and then:

rommon1> confreg 0x2142

rommon2> reset

but it just can't get to the command prompt of the router to perform following command: copy tftp flash (with the good, reliable IOS image on TFTP server)

Please help me solve my problem to load former IOS back on the router!

You're going to have to use xmodem via the console interface to upload your image. Consult the ROM Monitor manual at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps380/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a0080118d19.html#1020810
