From the cpboot prompt you should be able to install new firmware directly.

Subject: Request for Aruba A7005 Signed Firmware (Bootloader Recovery)
Hello,
I have an Aruba A7005 controller that stops at "cpboot>" with the error:
"Bank 0 has an invalid XLOADER image. Please upgrade to valid ARUBA image."
Could you please provide the correct signed ArubaOS/xloader firmware image for recovery via TFTP (cpboot prompt)?
Serial Number: CP0021465
Thank you,
AMK
