Hash partition structure
Article describes structure and partition numbers for most known Samsung TV models.

B series CI+ TV`s
Almost all read only partitions on B series are observed by secure boot and changing them may convert TV in to the brick.
What for the hell are hashes and how do we calculate them? Read here: Calculate.
Hashes for the u-boot (/dev/bml0/2), fnw (dev/bml0/4) and kernel (dev/bml0/5) are stored in /dev/bml0/3 and begin at offset 0x1000.
Rootfs is also observed, but in different way - it has hash of authuld binary at the end of rootfs image.
Hashes of firmware files (exe.img and appdata.img) are stored at other place on TV. We talk about it later.
The first 16 bytes from this position are the hash (of the kernel partition), the next 4 bytes are the length to be checked.
We have the following structure within this file (at offset 0x1000)
[16 bytes kernel hash] [4 bytes kernel length] [16 bytes uboot hash] [4 bytes uboot length] [16 bytes fnw hash] [4 bytes fnw length]
So, the hash for fnw starts at offset 0x1064 and it's length starts at offset 0x1074. For example, bml0/3 of T-CHLCIPDEUC 2006.0:
# hexdump -C ./bml0_3_dump

Where: hash of kernel is:
b0 5a b0 71 00 32 84 11 e2 f7 fe 45 a4 83 fe 5e
Kenel`s image lengh (hex)is: 00 e0 0d 00, which has to be read backwards. So the real length is:
00 0d e0 00 = 909312 (in decimal).
The hashes for mtd_exe and mtd_appdata are in /dev/bml0/18
and /dev/bml0/19 for a 1000MB flash type tv (it differs for other flash sizes).
/dev/bml0/18 is the 1st strmackeypartition and /dev/bml0/19 is the second one.
Structureis similar to bml0/3, just hashes are at the beginning of file:
the first 16+4 bytes are for mtd_exe, the next 16+4 bytes are for mtd_appdata
For example T-CHLCIPDEUC-2006.0:
00000000 43 72 15 c3 a6 ff 21 14 ac ac 65 9f cd 5a 25 eb |Cr....!...e..Z%.| 00000010 00 f0 40 03 07 7c b3 32 41 ec cd b1 dd f0 40 fd |..@..|.2A.....@.| 00000020 f4 21 82 9d 00 d0 ca 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |.!..............| 00000030 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................|
Hash of exe.img:
43 72 15 c3 a6 ff 21 14 ac ac 65 9f cd 5a 25 eb
Lengh of it: 00 f0 40 03, but backwards it is:
03 40 f0 00 = 54587392 bytes (decimal)
This is exact size in bytes of decrypted exe.img! :)
