Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970
Series goes dead during
CTS endpoint or MIDlet
upgrade.

Phone Firmware Issues

Occasionally, an unexpected phone power
cycle can occur during a CTS endpoint or
MIDlet version upgrade. During
CTS endpoint upgrades, the CTS briefly
powers off the phone then brings it back up
when upgrade is complete. But if the phone
power cycle is occurring at the same time, the
phone's firmware image can be damaged and
the phone will not power back on.

To avoid this problem, unplug the phone before
upgrading the CTS endpoint. When upgrade is
complete, plug the phone back in and upgrade
the MIDlet.

If you encounter a phone that will not power
back on after a CTS endpoint or MIDlet
upgrade, perform a phone factory reset to
restore the firmware image. See

On some CTS 500
installations, the
Cisco Unified IP Phone
rejects a direct firmware
upgrade.

During installation, Cisco Unified
Communications Manager will
automatically upgrade the firmware on
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970 Series to the
minimum version required. But if the
firmware on the IP phone is outdated, the
phone may reject the direct firmware
upgrade.

Upgrade the IP Phone 7970 Series to an
intermediate unsigned firmware version before
upgrading to the final firmware required by the
endpoint. See
