Converting a Cisco 7912 SIP Phone to a Call Manager Phone

I made a wrong firmware update of Cisco 7912 phone, I've loaded a SIP
firmware instead of a SCCP firmware. I'm not able to perform the
reverse process .. I've read this article:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk701/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094584.shtml

but it's about 7940/7960 and seems not to work for 7912 phones.

Can you help me to solve this problem ?

Thank you,
LC

 

the major problem i have had in changeing the firmware is not having
the current firmware. You have to upgrade your sip firmware on the
phone to the latest version before changing it to SCCP. I would
reccomend this first. then try this link.
