I know that there is a lot of posts written on this topic, and I went through most (if not all) of them. I also watched the tutorial by Kerry, but no matter what I do - I just can't get my 7960 working.
I got the files and modified them as required, but the hard part here is how to push these files into the trixbox and make a phone to communicate with them.
I tried using TFTPD32, but it doesn't seemed to be working. I have also tried just coping files to the tftpboot folder using WinSCP, but the phone still doesn't boots up. Any help on this one would be appreciated.
I'm running version 2.6.2. This phone was already used when I got it.

Have you changed the TFTP

Have you changed the TFTP settings in the network setup section of your phone to point to the IP address of your Trixbox server? Also have you added the phone using the endpoint manager?

config Cisco 7960

With the correct config in /tftpboot tail the tftp log 

tail -f /var/log/atftpd.log

Then reboot the phone. If the phone is requesting the config files from your tb server you will see the request in the atftp.log and these will contain the mac address of the phone and its ip address on your network. So you can work out what is going on.

If nothing happens, which is probably your case, you need to make sure that you have manually set the tftp server IP on the phone to that of your trixbox server. In the network settings you need to unlock the phone (default password cisco) select 'alternate tftp' and then edit the tftp server IP address and save. That's from memory. The phone should reboot and you should see activity in the atftpd.log.

You need to set nat = no in the PBX config for your extension number and it is a good idea if you use the endpoint manger first. If you do I think you need to change the NAT settings in the SIPdefault file that it generates.

That should be it.
