The present invention discloses a method and a device for updating program data, which belong to the field of data processing technologies. The method includes: receiving an input instruction of a user; and determining a startup mode of a terminal device according to the input instruction of the user, and sending, to the terminal device, a control instruction that is used to control the terminal device to enter the determined startup mode, where if it is determined that the startup mode of the terminal device is a forcibly loading startup mode, the control instruction is a first control instruction for entering the forcibly loading startup mode, where the forcibly loading startup mode is a startup mode in which the terminal device acquires program data in a storage card and performs data updating according to the acquired program data. In the present invention, a host device determines that a startup mode of a terminal device is a forcibly loading startup mode, and the terminal device performs data updating according to program data acquired from a storage card, so as to implement program data updating of the terminal device by means of forcibly loading without in a manner of updating by using a network or updating by dismantling a housing. Therefore, a success rate of data updating is improved. |
