525G2 Firmware

[Steven Howes]

Hi,

Has anybody found the firmware for this phone? I've been shipped some on 7.4.4, and I can't even find the bin for that version online. I've had a few hangs on the phone so I was hoping to upgrade, or at least re-flash with the current version. I can find 525 (non-G2) firmware but it appears to differ.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Steve;

For any firmware above 7.4.4, they share images, so should use same firmware (latest is 7.4.6).

Do a 'debug tftp events' and lets see what the phone is requesting.

I am thinking maybe the TYPE is built wrong in CCA?  Maybe?:

[Steven Howes]

Hi,

Sorry, not using tftp or CCA. I'm supplying an HTTP URL for the phone to download from (via provisioning). It is retrieving the file from the server - I can see a successful download in the HTTP logs.

Ideas anyone?...

Dear Sir;

Where did you obtain this phone? This may be a test unit as SPA525G2 units are shipping with 7.4.5. You need to perform a two step upgrade for this device.

Hi,

It was received as part of a UC product trial, not purchased as normal.

I have followed these steps, the first image went on ok, after reboot the phone was very unstable, freezing very quickly. There was no way to load the second image via usual means. I ended up adding the image via the recovery 'press speaker button' feature from USB... Now the phone boots and then looks 'dead'. I have attached a video of what happens. Essentially it all lights up then all goes black. Pressing speaker button does nothing and the screen/buttons do nothing.

I do have *one* more of these I could try the procedure on - but I'm rather reluctant to break this one just yet!

Thank you for your assistance so far.

Did a tcpdump using a crossover cable, turned out it has given itself an address of 192.168.0.10 (not any of my subnets, some kind of recovery mode?) and was requesting a file from 192.168.0.100 over tftp (again, nothing to do with me). I set up TFTP on that server and gave it 7.4.6 and it took the file. (Although screen/lights were off the whole time).

Slightly rocky road, but it has worked for this phone. I'll try another...

What is needed to perform a two step upgrade for this device.

Hi Steve,

I see you received good advice but your question was for the location of firmware.

It's at: http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/navigator.html?mdfid=282733326&i=rm

See page 6-7 of the reference doc for links to firmware & release notes....

Regards,

Patrick
