You need to load firmware files and configure correctly for the update to complete, if you search the forum, there are many cases like your.

Hi Shabeer
Please check the firmware. Secondly please check whether the phone is supplied with cisco recommended power. Remove any other phone which is registered and working fine and connect your 7942 to its ethernet cable. I am not sure about this. But you can try doing all this steps. All the best.

If you factory reset your phone, it will need to have access to a TFTP server (that it locates via option 150 from the DHCP) to download it's image again. So make sure you have firmware 8.5(2) loaded on your TFTP as the default firmware. More recent firmware may be rejected by the phone as the signing keys have changed after that version. That load has both the old and the new keys so once you installed that you can go to any version you want.
If that is not working as well, grab a sniffer trace so you can see what the phone is requesting.

hi bvanturn ,
thanks for ur comments.
I have done exactly what you asked for. but still it doesnt work.
Using CCA, i have done a debug log. the output for the debug is attached.
also it would be helpful if you could say how to do a sniffer trace, since i dnt know how to do it.
right now in the topology view in CCA, i can see this device having an IP, but the phone screen appears the same..
