[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940 -60 firmware upgrades

[Shilliday, Jim]

This for the archives in case it may help someone:  

I was able to upgrade two Cisco 7940's from firmware P0030301MFG2 to SIP
7.1 as follows:

1.  Installed 7.1 images from the Cisco zip file to the TFTP server.
2.  Specified "image_version: P0S3-07-1-00" in SIP<MAC>.cnf and
SIPDefault.cnf
3.  For the older of the two phones, renamed P003-07-1-00.bin to
P0S3-07-.bin, making it an 8.3 filename as expected by the version 3
firmware.  For the later (apparently new enough to handle long
filenames), renamed it to P0S3-07-1-00.bin.  No, that's NOT a misprint.
I renamed P003-07-1-00.bin to P0S3-07-.bin -- in Version 7.1, P003 isn't
the Call Manager software, it's the Universal Application Loader that
needs to load first to install everything else.  
4.	Rebooted the phones.

I had this same problem and I only found out how to upgrade the phones
by trial an error.  I even opened a Cisco case to get help on it but
they couldn't help me!

I think the problem is that 79xx firmware prior to 7.x doesn't know to
look for the .loads file, and without the loads file it will only load
the SCCP .sbn file.  It need the loads file to load the SIP .sb2 file.
 This is contrary to Cisco docs, but this is how I did it.

1. Expand the 7.2 firmware files into the tftp-root.
2. By default OS79XX.txt has P003-07-2-00.  Change this to
P0S3-07-2-00, but leave the image_version in your SIPDefaults set to
P003-07-2-00.
3. Reboot.  The phone will load an image and you will get the protocol
invalid error as noted earlier in this thread.
4. Change your SIPDefauls.cnf to P0S3-07-2-00.
5. Reboot.  The phone will look for the loads file and load the proper
sb2 image bringing you to version 7.2.
