 9500 Upgrade Utility Procedures 

for Upgrading from Pocket PC 2003 SE to Windows Mobile 5.0 

 

Hand Held Products Upgrade is a system developed for the Dolphin family of Mobile 
Computers to easily install updates to various system software components. HHPUpgrade 
can update the kernel, boot loader, and / or keyboard firmware. These components can be 
transferred to the device over any available communications link (ActiveSync, 802.11b, etc.). 
The upgrade components may also be pre-staged on an SD card. 
 
Hand Held Products Upgrade files are distributed as a single upgrade file. The files have 
“.upg” extension (i.e. 

FileName.upg

).  The upgrade files typically contain a matched kernel, 

bootloader, and keyboard image.  The upgrade file does not update files in the persistent file 
store (e.g. \IPSM files). 
 
Each Dolphin terminal is licensed for a single copy of Microsoft’s PocketPC 2002, Windows 
Mobile for PocketPC 2003 or Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system. If you are upgrading to 
a different version of the operating system (i.e. from PPC2003 to Windows Mobile 5.0) you 
are required to obtain a license key for the upgraded operating system. Please contact your 
local account representative for instructions on how to obtain a license key. 
 

!! Warning !! 

Upgrading a device without obtaining a valid license key will 

render the device unusable. You will be forced to reload the 

licensed operating system version manually. 

 
Once a device has been successfully upgraded, you may use the HHP Replication utility to 
upgrade other devices. However, each upgraded device will require a unique license key.
