All,
I seem to be having an issue with flashing the IOS of a Cisco 819. To follow are the steps I have taken, along with the error:
copy tftp flash
name TFTP server, file name, dest filename etc. All goes successful.
After successful copy from TFTP to the flash:
Save config
config t
reload
confirm
The router will then load to ROMMON
From the ROMMON command, I tried the same boot system flash command as above (boot system flash c800-universalk9-mz.SPA.155-3.M3.bin)
I then get the following error:
IOS Image Load Test

Any insight or suggestions would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Thank you!

1. What is the exact model of the router?
2. Console into the router and reboot the router. Post the entire boot-up process. I want to see where it's failing.
3. What is the config-registry value of the router?
4. Compare the MD5 hash value of the IOS downloaded against the MD5 hash value found in the Cisco website.

If you have a copy of your new IOS in your flash memory.
Use this:
router(config)#config-register 0x2142

If it won`t work, you can follow this guide for your issue

router(config)#config-register 0x2142
This value means boot the IOS but disregard the startup-config file. This config-register value is used to perform password recovery on the router. The correct value should be 0x2102.
Pfft. In the era of "tftpdnld" and USB ports, uploading the IOS using ROMmon is so "old fashion".

Use the format flash: command. Looks like IOS won't load as the flash memory is corrupt.
Please rate if helpful.
Thank you.

Config Reg Value: 0x2100
This value means "developer's mode". Is someone playing a trick on you?
The correct value should be 0x2102.
The MD5 Hash does in fact match.
If the MD5 hash value doesn't match with the MD5 hash value from the Cisco website this means the IOS file is corrupt. Please download the IOS again.
