Probably your copy of q3a62.rom is corrupt, or is not a rom image.

q3a62.rom should have an md5sum of 789c41221a225dad062302e026829353 and
a length of 1048576 bytes.

The "Wrong machine type" occurs if the CL1 string is not in the correct
place in the file.

That the "Got firmware version:" said nothing also shows there is a
problem with your ROM image.
