Looks like you need to upgrade the bootloader before you flash the rom.

I have tried get the same error this is how I tried

proxmark3 com3 --flash --unlock-bootloader --image /usr/local/share/proxmark3/firmware/bootrom.elf

Personally, I would just try a clean install.

I find that fault finding can sometimes take as long, if not longer, than a clean install.

Its obviously not your first install, so if you want to try an abridged version.
