I have 3 cisco 3640 all have sending me rommon prompt so i tried to resolve using xmodem.
i followed the following steps:
1-Into the confreg i set the baud rate to 115200 than connect it to using HT at 115200 B/r
check the flash using dir flash:
giving the command
xmodem -c c3640-jk9o3s-mz.124-5a .bin
after the completion it give me the following error.
uncompressed image checksum is incorrect 0x46b7fabc expected a checksum of 0xa8c3facd

Hi,
It looks that the image is damaged after it transfered (or it was already before that).
If you use xmodem then try to find the smallest image (you can save a lot of time) and after you can easily upgrade.
Alternatively if you have ethernet port then let's try to use tftpdnld. Very fast...

Hope it helps, rate if does,

The image should have .bin extension. First unpack it.

Hi,
It looks somehow the router not able to uncompress the image. What does the dir flash: shows? Is there enough space on that?
Anyway what caused to went the router to rommon?

It seems to be a faulty hardware to me.
Please try taking the DRAM and flash out and reset them again on the slots. Power on the router and then try sending the file again. Please see the link below for placing the DRAM and Flash:
If still it doesnot work, Please get the replacement for the BOX.

dir flash:
Device does not contain a valid magic number
boot: cannot open "flash:"
boot: cannot determine first filename on device "flash:"
Thanks

Well as suspected above it might be a hardware issue indeed. Let's try to reseat the memory modules and if not helps start an RMA procedure as suggested.
