Embodiment Construction

[0037] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

[0038] The present invention provides a terminal upgrade method, referring to figure 1 , in the first embodiment of the terminal upgrading method of the present invention, the terminal upgrading method includes:

[0039] Step 10, obtaining the upgrade package corresponding to the terminal, and restarting the terminal;

[0040] It should be noted that a terminal based on the Android system includes Boot, System, Recovery, Data, Cache, and MISC partitions, wherein,

[0041] The Boot partition enables the terminal to start, and it includes two parts: the kernel (kerne) and the ramdisk. Without this partition, the terminal usually cannot boot into Android. Only when necessary, format this partition through the Recovery software. Once formatted, the terminal can only reinstall a new Boot partition. Specifically, it can ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a terminal updating method. The terminal updating method comprises the following steps: Step A, acquiring an updating package corresponding to a terminal, and restarting the terminal; Step B, carrying out system updating on the terminal through the updating package; Step C, identifying whether a preset flag bit exists in an MISC partition of the terminal or not, carrying out Step D if the preset flag bit does not exist in the MISC partition of the terminal, and carrying out Step E if the preset flag bit exists in the MISC partition of the terminal; Step D, replacing a current partition table of the terminal with a partition table carried by the updating package, writing the preset flag bit into the MISC partition, and carrying out Step B after the terminal is restarted; and Step E, executing a capacity adjustment code carried by the updating package, so that the capacity of a user data partition of the terminal is adjusted to the capacity of a user data partition in the partition table used as a replacement. The invention further discloses a terminal updating device. The terminal updating method and device provided by the invention has the advantage that theproblem that the capacity of the user data partition of the terminal is fixed is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of terminals, in particular to a terminal upgrading method and device. Background technique [0002] As known to those skilled in the art, a terminal based on the Android system usually includes a system partition and a user data partition, wherein the system partition basically includes the entire Android operating system, including the Android user interface and all pre-installed system applications, etc.; The data partition contains user data, such as contacts, text messages, settings, and programs installed by the user. However, in the prior art, after the terminal device writes into the partition table and leaves the factory, the user cannot modify the capacity of the user data partition by modifying the partition table. In actual use, the wrong partition table may be written in the terminal when it leaves the factory, or the user has replaced the user data partition module of the modular termi...
