Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, this mechanism is not very secure, because if the user flashes his terminal into a third-party recovery image file in some way, the corresponding OTA upgrade package can pass the signature verification and realize the flashing operation
After flashing, the user who flashes the phone will not be able to experience the applications preset by the terminal manufacturer and the later-upgraded applications; at the same time, there is a great risk in flashing the phone, and it is very easy for the machine to fail to work normally or even become bricked, which is not conducive to user use

Embodiment Construction

[0023] The Android system protection method and device of this embodiment, by judging whether the recovery image file in the recovery partition has been modified, if modified, then upgrade the backup file of the recovery image file to the recovery partition, so as to prevent the device from being brushed into a third-party recovery image After the file is updated, the package brush machine is upgraded through OTA, which improves the security of the system.

[0024] In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] The Android system protection method of this embodiment specifically includes the following steps.

[0026] Start the bootloader (bootloader), and detect the operation that triggers the mobile terminal to enter the recovery mode. There are many trigger operations that trigger the mobile...

Abstract

The invention discloses an Android system protection method and apparatus. The protection method comprises the following steps of: acquiring a backup file of a recovery image file, wherein the backup file of the recovery image file comprises a recovery image file generated in the compiling process of an Android system, and a hash value and a file size of the recovery image file; judging whether the current recovery image file of the system is modified; and if yes, upgrading the backup file of the recovery image file to a recovery partition. According to the Android system protection method and apparatus which are disclosed by the invention, a device is avoided being rooted by an OTA (Over-the-Air Technology) upgrade package after a third party recovery image file is flashed into the device; the condition that due to a user roots the device, the device cannot be normally used and even is bricked is prevented; safety of the device is improved; and normal use of the user and benefits of manufacturers are ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to an Android system protection method and device. Background technique [0002] OTA upgrade is a commonly used terminal firmware upgrade method. Users can upgrade the terminal system firmware through OTA upgrade. [0003] In order to increase the security of the OTA upgrade and prevent the third-party OTA upgrade package from being flashed to the Android terminal, the public key file will be loaded from the recovery image file before the OTA upgrade, and the signature information embedded in the OTA upgrade package will be verified with the public key file. If it is correct, the upgrade will be performed only after the verification is successful, and the upgrade operation will not be performed if the verification fails. [0004] However, this mechanism is not very safe, because if the user flashes his terminal into a third-party recovery image file in some way, the correspo...
