Last week, some of our readers came across an error message that said Cisco Flash won’t open. This problem occurs due to a number of factors. Let’s discuss this below.

If your router supports going into ROMmon every time the system is restarted, this is probably due to a setting related to the configuration register. To check the configured configuration value, use the confreg command as shown below:
Want to change the most important configuration? y / n [n]: As shown in the output of your current confreg command above, the configuration is saved with a value that allows the router to go into ROMmon every time it is rebooted or powered up. To have the router normally boot automatically from the standard Cisco IOS software image, change the value of its configuration register as follows:
Do you want to change the setting? yes / no [n]: o
enable “use network in bcast y / n ip address”? [n]:
Want to change your configuration on the fly? yes / no [n]: no
For the new configuration to take effect, you need to reboot or plug in the power cord
You have now changed the configuration register to hA value that allows it to look for a running Cisco IOS Software image at startup and at startup. The router should now be rebooted.
If the learning register value is configured to automatically start the system from any standard Cisco IOS software image, and if no paused email is sent at startup, the router should indeed boot normally. However, if the modem still goes into ROMmon, it may be because the device usually cannot find a valid Cisco IOS software image.
First, you need to find a valid Cisco IOS software image. To do this, issue the dir
File diameter checksum filename
Please note: if the routescongestion returns “Bad Guitar Name”, the specified device may not exist. The about output indicates that there is indeed valid graphics in Flash. Try booting from this image by purchasing the boot command.
From now on, the router should boot with the Cisco IOS system image specified during boot. However, it may happen that none of the devices has the correct valid image, or that a particular image on the flash memory is slightly corrupted. In these cases, an image suitable for purchasing the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) will most likely need to be downloaded using the Xmodem method. Both of these procedures can be performed in ROMmon mode.

I’ve found many discussions on this issue, but I don’t want to be ashamed (I don’t know about ROMMON). This
we tell you that I do not know if it is possible to conduct further tests to successfully figure out what is actually the main problem (and therefore the correct solutionration).
