Cisco 7941G stuck in a loop

[pmalinov]

I read a lot of different articles and DIYs guides for provisioning the 7941 on 3CX with a SIP firmware and followed a couple of different ones WITH NO luck.

Everything seems very straight forward but it does not want to work on my setup.

Here are some details:
- Fresh install on 3CX free version (VLAN 10)
- VOIP Provider CallCentric
- Setup only one ext (100)
- Cisco 7941G (VLAN 1)
- Firware from Cisco: SIP41.8-0-2SR1S
- PumpKIN TFTP
- Created the following files: SEP0018BA5A5819.cnf.xml, and DRdialplan.xml and placed them in the TFTP folder with the rest of the firmware files
- Setup my DHCP Server

When I restarted my 7941 it keeps looking for two files:
- CTLSEP0018BA5A5819.tlv
- Classic1.raw

After reading some more online, I created those files with nothing in them. Restarted the phone and now PumpKIN shows that the transfer of CTLSEP0018BA5A5819.tlv has been completed but it goes in a loop of doing the same thing, and the phone does not register.

When I remove the CTLSEP0018BA5A5819.tlv file from the TFTP folder the phone goes further:
- It keeps trying to register and then "Defaulting to TFTP" server" flashes and then loops back to Registering...

Logged in to my 3CX system and tried to provision the phone from there, but the 7941 is not listed in the dropdown menu.

I am stuck and dont know what else to try...Please help

OK...I have made some progress.

After hard resetting the phone it restarted in UPGRADE mode, and it upgraded to SIP fine- yayyyy
But now it simply says "unprovisioned"

Am I missing a step here on how to provision it?

Thank you!

One more detail:

I receive the following status messages from the phone's GUI:
