Hi,
It seems like your image is corrupted and you lost the ability to load it my
suggestion is load it with XMODEM if you need the procedure send me an
E-mail and I will get it for you.

Subject: Booting In Bootrom with the TFTP command (Urgent)
Scenario:
A Cisco 2500 series router boots in bootrom mode, has serial link
connectivity, but no images found in flash. Flash is presently in RO mode.
We attempt to bring the IOS onto the box, but fail. We believe the flash is
fubarred. Any attempts to tftp fail w/ "not programmable" We believe that
this is due to the RO limitaion of the present flash memory. There is the
limitation of the 2500 series where the image is run from flash, not NVRAM.
Is our presumption correct about the corrupt Flash module?
Excerpt from techs worklog.
I had the site console into the router and remove the aaa new-model
settings. I was then able to telnet into the router via the s0 interface.
The router was in boot mode. I checked the flash and there wasn't an image
there. I tried to TFTP a new image over but I got and error message (ERR:
Device in READ-ONLY state) so I believe that the flash was damaged by the
lightning hit. I inserted a "boot system tftp" command into the config so
the router could use the IOS image from site. I reloaded the router. I
can't telnet to it anymore, but I can ping the serial. on site the
TFTP-server process is using 2.34% of the cpu, so it appears to be sending
the image over.
