I have a Cisco 3650 that it booting into ROMMON. In ROMMON, when I run dir I am only seeing these:
switch: dir
xmodem[0]: (read-only)
null[1]: (read-write)
bs[3]: (read-only)
tftp[12]: (read-write)
usbflash0[13]: (read-write)
So I run flash_init and it seems to run successfully:
switch: flash_init
Initializing Flash...
flashfs[7]: 0 files, 1 directories
flashfs[7]: 0 orphaned files, 0 orphaned directories
flashfs[7]: Total bytes: 6784000
flashfs[7]: Bytes used: 1024
flashfs[7]: Bytes available: 6782976
flashfs[7]: flashfs fsck took 1 seconds....done Initializing Flash.
but if I run dir after the flash_init I still don't see flash:
switch: dir
List of filesystems currently registered:
xmodem[0]: (read-only)
null[1]: (read-write)
bs[3]: (read-only)
tftp[12]: (read-write)
usbflash0[13]: (read-write)
I have the bin image on the usb drive and tried booting to that image but get the following:
switch: boot usbflash0:cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.09.03a.SPA.bin
loading usbflash0:cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.09.03a.SPA.bin
Reading full image into memory...read: premature eof
usbflash0:cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.09.03a.SPA.bin: short read: bad mzip file
Error loading "usbflash0:cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.09.03a.SPA.bin"
Interrupt within 5 seconds to abort boot process.
Boot process failed...
Any ideas on how I can get this up?
Thanks.

Hello mcbrown,
try to boot using a TFTP server on your PC connected to the switch with a LAN cable.
follow the instructions on this document
Once you are able to boot with an IOS image you can try to format the flash: this might recover it or not.
Hope to help

Error message means the IOS file is corrupt.
Go to the Cisco website and download the firmware again.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you compare the MD5 hash value of the file downloaded against the MD5 hash value found in the Cisco website.
And then read this: Emergency Recovery

Hello Leo,
thanks for having seen the issue with the file image on the USB drive,
I admit I have missed it.
Best Regards

Organize for an RMA. The switch is dead.
