According to the release notes for 8.4.2 it won't be compatible with Najeebs CUCM, : "This firmware version is supported on Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.1(1b) and higher"

The compatibility matrix at  http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/compat/ccmcompmatr.html#wp95981 says rather ominously: "Note Cisco Unified IP Phone 7975G does not support Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 5.0(x). " and then doesn't mention 5.0 in the following table of firmware V CUCM version.    However if you go to the actual download for versions for that phone, 8.3.3 _does_ mention being for 5.0(4) but is  the last one that says anything about it :-(

But I'm no expert at this,  I only looked at it because I'm going through the whole process myself at the moment, picking out the versions I have to upgrade our phones to prior to doing a 4->6 migration.
