RE: RMAN restore/recover problem

The controlfile you have is from a point in time newer than you need You have to find a copy of the control file that is older - that is a must
Once you have that then with any init/spfile mount the database and attempt recovery

Otherwise you need a catalog - if you don't have a rman catalog then you must have an older copy of the controlfile - either restore it from autobackup or get a copy from somewhere you know to exist
