Abstract
A method for recovering from a download failure of program and a portable terminal employing the method is provided. The inventive method comprises the steps of reading, when the portable terminal is booting, a specific region of a NAND type memory and determining whether or not an emergency download is set in the specific region, if the emergency download is set, copying download-related data and variables from the NAND type memory to a random access memory (RAM), and setting a program counter at a zero address of the random access memory to thereby execute download-related code.
