Auth fail on 7941 and 7970 IP phones

Richard Dumag

We have recently installed firmware version 9-1-1-SR1S on our Call Manager 4.1 servers for the 7941, 7970, and 7961 phones.  All phones that are in production upgraded successfully.  The production phones were running version 8-3-5.

However, when trying to upgrade phones that are running earlier versions such as 8-2-1 and 8-3-0, we get an "auth fail" message.  Will I need to do multi-step upgrade on these phone to get them upgraded to the latest version.  If so, how can I do that?

Hello Richard,

you need to upload the firmware 8.5.2 to the tftp server and you can define a phone load on the phone to upgrade version 8.5.2.

After all phones have done the upgrade to 8.5.2, you can delete the entry and apply the config. The phone reloads and downloads the version 9.1.1.

You don't need to reupload the firmware 9.1.1.

Kind regards,

Does this mean install 8.5.2 on the Call Manager server? Connect the phones to upgrade them to 8.5.2.  Then re-install 9.1.1 on the Call Manager then reset the phones to upgrade them to 9.1.1?

Hi,

I am trying to switch from SIP to SCCP on my 7970g phones. As our PBX is Asterisk, i am using tftp for that purpose, but getting errors. Everywhere i look, it says that i need version 8-5-2 to do it.

 

Now usually i go to Cisco downloads and simply download the firmware, but they have closed downloads for 7970g.

 

Any chance that you've got SCCP 8-5-2 for 7970g lying around? Been searching around without any luck, and is now getting desperate :-(

 

Thanks!

I have the same issue on CUCM 8.6.2. Several of my 7970 phones stucked on Upgrading step with the same Auth Fail error. I resolved it this way. I downloaded and then uploaded cmterm-7970_7971-sccp.8-2-2SR4.cop.sgn firmware which my phones agreed to upgrade to. But now they don't want to upgrade to cmterm-7970_7971-sccp.8-5-2SR1.cop.sgn.

How to solve this issue? 

But now they don't want to upgrade to cmterm-7970_7971-sccp.8-5-2SR1.cop.sgn.
