image for the iPAQ H3870 and H3875 Pocket PC 2002.
The Utility performs the following:
- Replaces the current ROM image on your device with an updated version.
- Backs up your current ROM image, if desired.

HOW TO USE:
1. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive (NOTE: this
directory should not contain any file or folder from any previous
ROM Upgrade). The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable
with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.
2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions
to unpacking the ROM Update files to a directory.
3. Execute the UpgradeUt.exe file to begin the upgrade process and
follow the instructions displayed by the ROM Upgrade Utility.
4. You may delete the self-extracting file downloaded in step 1 if you wish.
5. After the installation is completed, you may delete
the directory created in step 2 if you wish.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
1. During the update, the ROM Update Utility will:
- Query your device for current ROM image information.
- Validate that the new ROM image is compatible with your device.
- Allow you to back up your current ROM image.
- Update or restore the ROM image on your device.
2. Important: Disable the standby and hibernation modes on your
host PC. If standby or hibernation are activated during the
upgrade process, a critical error may occur.
3. Plan for enough time to start and complete the update process.
The total time to perform a ROM backup and a ROM update is
estimated to be as follows:
*USB - 30 minutes
*Serial - 1 hour and 45 minutes
4. Important: Do not interact with your device or remove it from power
or the cradle/cable once the actual update has started.
5. The update process can be performed on a device connecting
to a host PC as an established partnership or as a guest.
6. When the ROM Update Utility is used on a host PC for the first time, the
Operating System may not recognize the iPAQ as a USB device after placing
the iPAQ in update mode. Ensure the iPAQ is recognized by waiting
for the host PC to properly find and install the USB driver again before
continueing the update process. (This is not to be confused with the
ActiveSync warning, "Device Not Recognized".)
