So i try to see the image in the bootflash, if i execute the dir bootflash:, It displays as below and doesn't showed the content
rommon 1 >dir bootflash:
ExtX super block invalid signature
So i thought of booting the device with usb but no pendrive gets detected .it also fails as u can see below
rommon 2 >dir usb0:
No USB storage device detected!
Error[3]: Failed to open directory!
Can anyone suggest me what i can do further

Hello Sr,
It is possible that we may a faulty appliance nevertheless try the next action plan:
1- Change the config register to 0x2102
   --Check the settings
   rommon>set
   --Clear the current boot variable
   rommon>unset boot
   rommon>confreg 0x2102
   rommon>reset
If does not fix the issue follow step 2:
2- Connect the management port to access a tftp server.
   You will see a message that a physical link is established
   --Issue the set interface gi1 or fa1
   --rommon>set interface fa1 x.x.x.x 255.255.255.0
   DG to use to get to the TFTP server
   --rommon>set ip route default x.x.x.x
3- Check that the configs which have been made and test connectivity
   rommon>set
   rommon>ping x.x.x.x
4- Once the ping to the tftp is successful, you can issue the boot tftp to specify the image:
   rommon>boot tftp://x.x.x.x/
If the switch comes up we need to copy the image onto the bootflash and change the boot variable again and wr
RMA will the last option if no luck.

Try to put your iPhone 4 in DFU mode and then restore it.
You can try these steps below:
1. Try another USB cord.
2. Restart your computer for a try.
3. Hold the power button, it might restart your iPhone.
4. Update your iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPhone.
If iTunes can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help > run diagnostics.
On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPhone and then restore it.

CUPC – Unable to go into deskphone control mode and unable to chat

Home Lab – learning Presence
CUCM 9
CUPS 9 (not 8.6 as virtually all of the help and discussion forums, documents, etc are for)
CUPC 8.6 (3 copies running on 3 different laptops)
4 users configured in CUCM for Presence capabilities
No LDAP integration
Current status:
Presence indicators for phones works fine, no issues
3 users can log into their CUPC clients and Presence information from their own associated deskphone displays correctly (ie if User 1 takes his deskphone offhook, the CUPC for User 1 shows as “On the Phone”
Users can place phone calls with each other by typing the DN in the “Search for name or number” field
I have two different issues that I have not been able to solve all day – they may be related to each other.
The first issue: I am unable to go into deskphone mode. Although the checkbox is visible – it appears to be greyed out and clicking in it does nothing.
The second issue: I am unable to start a chat session. I highlite a contact (that I manually entered), right click, and select chat. I get an error message that says “Failed to start conversation. Invalid parameter”
I have scoured the Cisco site for docs and most of them pertain to CUPS 8.6 and not 9. There is a difference in that v9 does not have the Application -> IP Phone Messenger selection.
My current configs:
CUCM
          4 application users – CUPS-AXL (with Stand CCM SuperUsers permissions), CUPS-Deskphone, CUPS-CTIGW, and CUPS-PhoneMSG (all with Standard CTI Allow control of all devices).
          3 end users – From top to bottom, all users have passwords and digest credentials. Under Service Settings, all users have the “Enable user for Unified CM IM and Presence” checked. This is the replacement for the assigning license capabilities from version 8.6. Also under Service Settings, all users have a UC Service Profile assigned. The UC Service Profile has two UC service settings – a Presence and IM Profile and a CTI Profile. Under Device Information – all user have been associated to two different devices (their hardphone and the CUPC client). Under the Directory Number Association portion – each user has their own primary line selected from the drop down box. Under the Permissions Information section - each user has Standard CCM End Users and Standard CTI Enabled permissions.
          Devices – each user has a 7960 hard phone and a CUPC. For each device (both types) at the Device Level -> Owner User ID, Protocol Specific Information -> BLF Presence Group, SUBSCRIBE CSS are all set. Under the line for each device (both types) – Allow control of device from CTI is checked, in the Associated Devices window is the MAC and UPC<name> of the devices, Under Users Associated with Line is the correct user
          Under System –> Application Server, the CUP server is configured.
          Under System -> Licensing, all users and devices are licensed. There is no Capabilities Assignment in version 9
CUPS
          Under Diagnostics -> System Troubleshooter -> all green except for the things not configured, LDAP, 3rd party, etc
          User Management -> End User -> are licensed for IM and Presence and have Microsoft RCC enabled. They also show 2 devices
          Under Application – this is where its different from v8 to v9.
          Application -> Legacy Clients -> Settings. I have set the TFTP server IP to the CUCM
          Application -> Legacy Clients -> CCMCIP Profile. I created a new profile, set the Primary and Secondary CCMCIP Host to be the IP Address of the CUCM Publisher. For Server Certification Verfication, I selected Any Certificate from the drop down. I assigned this profile to all 4 of my users.
          Application -> Microsoft RCC settings. Application status = on. For Application Username and password, I have tried using CUPS-Deskphone and CUPS-CTIGW with their appropriate passwords. There is not difference in using either one of them. CUCM address is address of my Pub. I assigned this Microsoft RCC service to all 4 of my users.
So, as I said, I have been working on this all day today burning my fingers and my mouse up on Google. To no avail.
Any ideas anyone?
Jeff

Update –
          Well, I finally bit the bullet and stood up a MS AD domain in my lab.
          I integrated CUCM into the LDAP and imported the users from LDAP
          I also stood up a DNS server.
          I reconfigured CUPS to the new domain, joined all of the endpoint laptops to the domain, and retested.
          Same place as I was before with the deskphone mode – however, my ability to IM is fixed (as was expected).
          Using CUPS, I am not able to go into deskphone control mode. The option box is still greyed out.
          However, I installed Jabber for Windows on the same laptops.
          In Jabber, I am able to select the option at the bottom of the window to use my deskphone for calls, and then I can move it back to the Jabber client.
          So, anyone have any ideas why CUPC refuses to let me go into deskphone control mode?
          All features and functions of the JFW work great. No problems.

Iphone stuck in recovery mode and can't recover because "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

I have an iPhone 4S and it has been stuck in recovery mode for whatever reason. I have tried using data recovery software that can turn my phone to normal mode but when it tries all my phone does in turn off and then on again, back into recovery mode. I can't use iTunes to recover my phone because it won't let me do it without updating and recovering the iPhone. When I do this it gives me the error "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
Is there any other way I can restore my phone from backup without getting this error?

Firefox become in Offline mode and unable to open any page and when shut down it remains in processes and freez up, blocking another to be run

When I on my Laptop, Acer Aspire 5735 with Windows 7 Ultimate run Firefox all runs perfectly smooth, all is working as expected, but when I go to Sleep mode or Hibernate (Firefox remains open) after turning on Firefox is not active any more, all open tabs are there but surfing is unavailable. Firefox reports message that it is in Offline mode (but menu File > Work Offline is not checked and if I check it and uncheck it again it doesn't have any impact). Which means If I open new tab and write web address it wont open, if I click any link in opened tabs from before, it wont open anything and it will show message that Firefox is in offline mode. After that I shut down Firefox by using Close(x) button and it disappears from desktop but it remains in memory and active processes not allowing any other instance of Firefox to be run. Finally I shut it down on force (End process) and start another instance and all works perfect. I am not sure is this only my problem with hardware/software configuration so I wanted to share this.

This is a pain but I have resolved it. This is instructions for Windows 7 but it may be the same on other Operating systems.
Note: "''YOUR USERNAME''" relates to the account you log on to Windows with.
# First go to control '''panel / folder options''' and ''uncheck'' ''''Hide extensions for known file types'''', ''check'' ''''Show hidden files and folders'''' and ''check'' ''''Show hidden operating system files'''' then click ''apply'' and ''OK''.
# Go here :''' C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\''' and copy the '''Profiles''' folder to your desktop.
# Go here : '''C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\''' and copy the '''Profiles''' folder to your desktop. You will need to rename this as you already have a Profiles folder so name it '''Profiles2'''.
# Uninstall Firefox (''selecting to remove all user settings'') then go here: '''C:\Program Files\''' and delete the ''Mozilla Firefox'' folder.
# Go here : '''C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Roaming''' and delete the ''Mozilla'' folder
# Go here: '''C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Local\ '''delete the ''Mozilla'' folder.
# Open another browser (i.e.'' Internet Explorer'') and download and install ''C-Cleaner'' here: [http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard]
# Once installed run the ''''Registry cleaner'''' over and over until no problems are detected and exit the application. You may now uninstall it but it is probably one of the best free apps available as it has a better uninstaller than Windows does and controls which programs run when Windows starts without using the 'msconfig' command.
# Now download the latest version of Firefox with your other browser and install it then run the application once and close it down.
# Open the ''Profiles'' folder on your desktop and inside you will find one or more folders with a name ending in '''.default''' (i.e. ''uomifhku.default''). Right click each folder and select '''Properties''' to see which contains the highest amount of data or the bigger file size. Once you have done that open the largest folder and make sure there is nothing in there with '''... @security.compass''' written on it. If there is then delete it. Hold your ''left'' mouse button and move your mouse pointer over all of the files to highlight in blue. Put your mouse cursor on any one of the files, ''right click'' and select 'Copy' to copy them all to system memory and then close the folder.
# Go here: '''C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles''' and find the folder ending in '''.default''' then open it. Now ''right click'' anywhere on the background in the main Payne containing the files and select 'paste'. When prompted to '''Overwrite Files''' and '''Merge Folders''' always accept and proceed. Once done, close the window.
# Open the '''Profiles2''' folder on your desktop and inside you will find one or more folders with a name ending in '''.default''' (i.e. ''uomifhku.default''). Right click each folder and select '''Properties''' to see which contains the highest amount of data or the bigger file size.

Now right click anywhere on the background in the main Payne containing the files and select '''paste'''. When prompted to '''Overwrite Files''' and '''Merge Folders''' always accept and proceed. Once done, close the window.
Start Firefox and if all is well you should be working again and it back in the state you left it last without the bug.
Many thanks, sparkyuiop

System is slow and unable to recover

i am using dv6 core i5/6gb/640gb/win7
previously i got error 3F1, with this error i was able to use the system but the systems response is very slow... slower than p4. then i tried to recover my system using recovery disks but the same error shows everytime i tries to hit F11. then i changed the HDD and tried recovery it copies all the 5 recovery disks and later it shows the error code: 0xe0ef0003. i have tried another new HDD also for that also it shows the same.
even i tried installing other win7 software then i got another new error (0xc00000e9, info: an unexpected I/O error has occured) during booting the cd.
according to my experience in computers i think there might be a fault in the laptop itself i guess some bios problem or motherboard problem etc
if any one can help me pls help

To rule out a faulty CD/DVD drive try creating a Windows 7 usb flash drive installer:

Unexpected shutdowns and unable to recover BIOS

I recently put together a build with the following parts:
i7 5820k @4.5Ghz 1.3v
MSI x99s SLI plus motherboard
Noctua NH-D15 cooler
Corsair AX760i PSU
4 x 8 Crucial Ballistix RAM
Let's start with my first problem. Upon pressing the power button to wake my computer from sleep, my computer suddenly shutdown with a very audible click from the power supply. After some restarts later a message pops up on the screen saying something about overclock failure. The sudden shutdown upon waking is happening quite often. However, I stress tested all my components using AIDA64 for more than 8 hours with low temperature and no errors. Hybrid sleep is disabled and the power button is set to sleep.
My second problem is that I cannot recover the first BIOS that I messed up during overclocking. I put 4GHz @ 1.2v on the ring/cache and the computer gets stuck on "A2" during boot. Attempted to recover the BIOS following the manual but it does not seem to boot from the USB that I prepared. I used rufus to create a MS-DOS USB and added the MSI BIOS files in it. The BIOS detected the USB but then switches to Windows. I tried FAT32 and FAT, two different USBs, MS-DOS and freeDOS, but no matter what, the computer does not boot from the USB. Legacy support is on but when I enter the boot menu, the USB I want to boot from is under UEFI even though its DOS ( i.e.: UEFI: <name of USB>).

Quote
i7 5820k @4.5Ghz 1.3v
remove any overclock, do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed
then check how its goes

7606 rommon mode

I have question here
I tried to perform password recovery on cisco 7606 router with SUP720 3BXL card and followed the procedure from cisco as
1.sequence break - depends of your keyboard
2.rommon1> - confreg 0x2142
3 rommon2> reset
but the router did not ignore the config and went back to its running config
Any suggestions or comments are appreciated

i found out the solution for this
in 6509/ 7606 with SUP or RSP card - first SP boot and then RP take control
Wait for the Console message
- %OIR-6-CONSOLE: Changing console ownership to route processor
when RP boots and then press sequence break to go in the rommon mode and perform the standard steps for password recovery
I was able to password recover successful

How to recover CatOS bootup from rommon mode?

I have a 6509 Sup2 not being able to bootup. It displayed the following error and went into rommon mode.
Autoboot executing command: "boot bootflash:cat6000-sup2cvk8.8-3-7.bin"
Error : compressed image checksum is incorrect 0x05ECF6AF
Expected a checksum of 0x05ECF5AF
*** System received a Software forced crash ***
I want to break into the rommon mode and set the config register to bypass the config file to boot. Can someone let me know what the break sequence is for a 6509 Sup2 and what the config register I should set?
Thanks a lot

ASA 5505 Keeps rebooting after trying to load image in ROMMON mode

Hi,
I erased my image to upgrade but my ASA was shut down half way though, so I found myself in ROMMON mode.
I was able to upgrade my image once in rommon mode but I found I had an incorrect version so I went through the whole process again. Since trying to load a new image I have been constanly receiving the 'Use Break or Esc to interrupt boot. Use SPACE to begin boot immediatly'.
I can connect to my TFTP server and load the image but it always reboots, or if I select ESC it just goes back to ROMMON mode.
Any thoughts??

I had to do 2 things, one replace memory and the second is set VLAN=untagged, then I could ping the server and tftpdnld would work.

Sup720 booting into rommon mode

new sup720 drops into rommon mode. config reg is 2102 and boot system command points to right image located in sup-bootflash:

You might need to upgrade your ROMMON. We did with our brand new Sup720's. Below is the procedure we use. Please pardon the formatting. If you see "invalid ..." after the "show rom slot n sp" you need to load ROMMON code (available from Cisco's downloads). Good luck.
ROM Upgrade (650x)
1 sh rom slot 5 sp Display current ROM settings
2 copy tftp:c6ksup3-rm2.srec.8.4.2 sup-bootflash:c6ksup3-rm2.srec.8.4.2 TFTP the file to the 650x
3 upgrade rom slot 5 sp pref region[1 | 2] Command to switch regions to boot ROMMON from. Upgrade that too or leave at old version.
4 upgr rom slot 5 sp file sup-bootflash:c6ksup3-rm2.srec.8.4.2 Upgrades current preferred ROMMON region
5 repeat step 3 for other region After successfully upgrading to the new version do the other one too.
