Router 2650 Boot Looping

[hoadotnguyen]

Help Please. I have a router 2650, when I turn on, it is showing (see below)

loadprog: bad file 0x0

load: cannot load "flash"

How do I break into this router? I am using windows XP with hyper termianl with default setting 9600. Thanks,

You need to connect your console cable to the router and open your Hyperterminal session.

When you switch the router on, hit "CTRL-BREAK" several times; keep doing it until it shows you the "rommon 1>" prompt.

From there, you should be able to reconfigure the router to use the correct IOS image, or install a new IOS image if the old one is corrupt.

Hope this helps!
