The invention provides a set top box updating method based on an Android system and set top box, wherein the set top box receives an updating command of one-click operation input, and enters online updating or USB updating; the set top box automatically searches to obtain an updating packet, loads the updating packet in an appointed updating catalogue; the set top box is automatically restarted to enter a recovery mode, and is updated by using the updating packet. If the system is crashed, the updating method is used for further recovering the system through a recovering command of a one-click operation input system. The invention also provides a set top box for realizing the updating method. Due to no need of complex operations, the invention actually realizes one-lick updating and one-click recovery. During USB updating, the problem of multi-device and multi-partition updating is solved, the set top box can be normally updated when a mobile device is pulled up after copying is completed, therefore, the Android system adapts to the actual application of the set top box, and the user experience and the stability in the aspects of system updating and recovering are improved.

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the existing Android system upgrade method requires the user to operate in multiple steps, which is cumbersome, and most of the upgrade mode display menus are English options, which is inconvenient for users who do not have English and related technical foundations.

On the other hand, the Android system is mostly used on mobile devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers, and these mobile devices usually have only one sd card as an external storage device. There may be multiple partitions on multiple removable storage devices. The traditional SD card upgrade method cannot fully consider the upgrade package processing problem in multi-partition and multi-storage devices during the upgrade process.
