Hi Manolo, WLC firmware (an .AES file) is not like a monolithic IOS image you can easily copy onto a clean flashdisk. The firmware is a set of scripts, kernel, initrd, AP's firmwares, and other stuff. A normal 4400 256-megabyte flash contain a partition table with four partitions. The only option for you to repair your controller is to take a working flash from another 4400 (any model), put it onto a CF reader, take the full image (UNIX 'dd' utility is your friend), and write it onto another (could be bigger) compact flash card.
There is no ROMMON for 4400 WLC.

I'm hoping if you could help me or you already experience this before. I just got a 4400 controller it's an old controller and I'm planning to use this for my CCIE lab. When I turned the power on it first read the memory and after testing the memory, from the output I see this "Memory Test Pass" it just suddenly STOP. Reboot several times but still the same output. So I checked the sequence on how this controller should boot up and I it tells me that after the memory was test the next to be tested is the flash card. So I'm suspecting the problem is the corrupted flash card. Currently I don't have another 4400 controller for me to format the corrupted flash card. I'm just wondering if you have another idea how I can format this corrupted flash card? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Manolo S.
