The embodiment of the present invention provides a verification method and device for OTA multi-package upgrade, which stores system fingerprint information of a terminal in a system partition. When the terminal is upgraded from the current version to the target version through several intermediate versions, the system fingerprint information of the current version is obtained from the terminal system partition to check with the system fingerprint information in the OTA upgrade package read from the register. If successful, the patch file in the OTA upgrade package is copied to the system partition, so that the system fingerprint information in the system partition will become the system fingerprint information of the intermediate version without starting the system. The terminal can continue to verify the next upgrade package according to the system fingerprint information of the intermediate version, so as to complete the upgrade of the next version, thereby avoiding the need to turn on the system in the prior art to change the system fingerprint information in the memory to an intermediate version. System fingerprint information, and once the system fingerprint information does not match and the verification fails, the multi-package upgrade will exit, resulting in upgrade failure.
