1721 in rommon and nothing seems to help

Question

Hello everyone, I'm trying to get CCNA certified so I bought a 1721 off of someone. I turned it
on and it went right into rommon. I did some googling and I kept getting the magic number error etc. So I decided
to reload the bin file. I have loaded 2 different ones and they both do the same thing, they go back to rommon..
Short story
I setup the IP information for tftp, then I have it download the bin file, I think do something along the lines of either
b flash: (filename)
or
boot (filename)
it does it's thing, I type reset, it resets (sometimes 3 times in a row) and then
<rommon>
The Long story..

       DEFAULT_GATEWAY: The default gateway for this unit
           TFTP_SERVER: The IP address of the server to fetch from
             TFTP_FILE: The filename to fetch
  The following variables are OPTIONAL:
          TFTP_VERBOSE: Print setting. 0=quiet, 1=progress(default), 2=verbose
      TFTP_RETRY_COUNT: Retry count for ARP and TFTP (default=7)
          TFTP_TIMEOUT: Overall timeout of operation in seconds (default=7200)

Help me Cisco experts, you're my only hope..

Answer 1

Neither seems to work. Is it normal for the router to restart 3 or 4 times in a row, also, should I have more than one thing listed when I type dev?
