Problem solved.

You need to remove the config (local.cfg) that resides on the phone,
before restarting it.

I used the Web UI for awhile to tinker with the XML softkeys and SIP
config. What happens is that the input was set into the local.cfg. The
admin manual says that there is a precedence rule on how the phone
reads the config: aastra.cfg, <mac>.cfg and finally local.cfg. The
next cfg overwrites the values of the previous.

That's why when I switched to TFTP, the values in <mac>.cfg get
overwritten by local.cfg.

Removing/Clearing the fields in the Web UI + restarting the phone
won't work either, because the parameters (sip proxy ip, softkey etc)
will still be there, this time with blank values.
