The error bad file magic number indicates that the image in flash is either corrupt, incomplete or not an IOS image. You can upload a new image file via xmodem or via tftpdnld. Here are two links explaining how to use those commands.

my router boots from ios (if ios in flash)but should boot to boothelper image in eprom: if ios is not there but it boots to rommon if ios is not there because boothelper (subset of ios) image is currupt.
