ASA 5500X Rommon Firmware File

Is anyone able to direct me in obtaining Rommon Firmware update 2.1.9.8 as mentioned in multiple threads?  ASA 5500X download section does not have this available vs the 5516X series.   I have 2 5555X units 1 with 2.1.9.5 which does have some issues with the sensors which 2.1.9.8 Rommon corrects.

To clarify on my post inquiry, I am only looking to find a Rommon download to complete this upgrade.  SFR firepower, installation guide to the rommon is not what I am seeking.  I am only looking for the upgrade file ex. 2198.SPA file.

 

still i look forward below output - i can answer any better 

can you post the show version, and show the modules?

Information about the FTD code, might be the same thing for asa image upgrade.

  ROMMON Software Boot Image System Software
Purpose To update the firmware of an ASA. To load an ASA with the network config, download the system software, and begin setup. To install the features of the FTD system.
Low-end ASA (5506-X, 5508-X, 5516-X) Firmware release 1.1.8 or greater is required. Use the *.SPA file to upgrade firmware. Use a *.lfbff file to load a low-end ASA with the FTD boot image. Use a *.pkg file to install the FTD system software package. You can use the same system software package on any low-end and midrange ASA hardware models.
Midrange ASA (5512-X, 5515-X, 5525-X, 5545-X, 5555-X) Not necessary to update the default firmware version. Use a *.cdisk file to load a midrange ASA with the FTD boot image.

I was wondering the same question.... for the 5555.
Not sure if you already upgrade yours.
