Hi @harshitking21 

Before run the xmodem command, run the following command

switch: flash_init

switch: flash_init
Initializing Flash...
...The flash is already initialized.

On a 3650/3850, copying anything while in ROMMON is not allowed.  This is an in-built security measure to minimize the risk of compromising the IOS-XE firmware. 

Copy the file into a USB flash and either boot the firmware from the USB (boot usbflash0:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.10.E.152-2.E10.bin) or use the "emergency-install usbflash0:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.10.E.152-2.E10.bin".


switch: boot usbflash0:cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.12.09.SPA.bin
call dfs_loadpartitions, retry = 1
call dfs_loadpartitions, retry = 0

usbflash0: contains unexpected values in partition table or boot sector.

The system is unable to boot automatically. The
BOOT environment variable needs to be set to a
bootable image.

USB flash drive needs to be formatted to FAT16 before any use.
