I've gone through several discussions on this board of different folks trying to reinstall or repair a corrupted ios. I'm effectively in the same boat but can't seem to get passed my issue. I've tried loading in ROMMON but can't seem to get it there. I've read holding mode down while plugging it in, hitting the mode button three times when the front LED blinks. I've tried booting from USB and TFTP. I can't access flash: because it's read-only. Can't access anything plugged into the USB, have tried several in FAT, partitioned to a smaller partition, just in case the size of the disk causes issues. I'm at a lost at the moment.
Below is what I see in flash:
switch: dir flash:
Attributes Size Name
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
drwxr-xr-x 4096 .prst_sync
-rw-r--r-- 4003 lateshutdown.log
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Currently using Terra Term for most of this and have used TFTP64 when trying to boot from TFTP. Any and all help would be great. Can provide more info if asked.

This still hasn't change so the switch will always boot into ROMMON.

Try to change the flash to RW, find the below post.

Gave this a go about a month ago when I started fussing with this switch and had no luck getting it work.
