 +
Just for completeness: SECUREMAC2 (/dev/bml0/11) is the strmackeypartition here.
 +
 +
==Typical hash data structure==
 +
For all hashes the structure is as follows:<br>
 +
[16 bytes hash][4 bytes length]<br><br>
 +
16 bytes hash is calculated using chkhash.<br>
 +
4 bytes length is the byte count the hash is/was calculated over. It is stored backwards (see B series for details).
 +
 +
==Partition hash data==
 +
The hashes of the images exe.img, appdata.img, Image (kernel) and rootfs.img are stored in that order sequentially within a separate partition, sometimes called cmac (hash) partition. These four images are stored in separate partitions. As all four partitions exist twice (one for active set, one for inactive set) there also exist two cmac partitions: SECUREMAC0 and SECUREMAC1<br>
 +
<br>
 +
During boot process the hashes of inactive partition are not checked.<br>
 +
<br>
 +
The relation is as follows:
 +
<br>
 +
SECUREMAC0 (/dev/bml0/9): EXE0 (/dev/stl0/15), APP_DATA0 (/dev/stl0/16), KERNEL0 (/dev/bml0/5) and RFS0 (/dev/bml0/6)
 +
<br>
 +
SECUREMAC1 (/dev/bml0/10): EXE1 (/dev/stl0/17), APP_DATA1 (/dev/stl0/18), KERNEL1 (/dev/bml0/7) and RFS1 (/dev/bml0/8)
 +
<br>
 +
<br>
 +
For example cmac partition for 2nd partition set (/dev/bml0/10) of T-VALDEUC 3011.0 looks like this:
 +
Offset(h) 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F

48 F5 8B FA 80 50 D8 8E A1 75 79 57 DC F7 EB C5

 +
 +
==authuld hash data==
 +
The binary authuld is stored within read-only rootfs partition (is NOT image!). Although rootfs's hash is already checked authuld's hash is checked separately! authuld's hash is stored 0x1000 (4096 dez) byte in front of the end of partition (is NOT image!) rootfs.
 +
 +
For example rootfs partition for 2nd partition set (/dev/bml0/8) of T-VALDEUC 3011.0 looks like this:
 +
Offset(h) 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F

 +
 +
Notice: Referring to the partition list written above the partition size of rootfs is 3670016 byte (0x380000). So the hash data for authuld is located at offset 0x37F000 (0x380000 - 0x1000).

 +
Where

05 C7 9B 14 D3 DF 2B A0 88 C3 EB CB 4C A9 3E B5
 +
is the hash of binary authuld, the binary byte size is 0x00009868 (68 98 00 00 read backwards)
 +
 +
After boot of kernel and mounting of rootfs, /bin/authuld is called and it is checking hashes of active partitions and authuld itself.
 +
It is important to understand that this check takes some time (this is the delay experienced until authuld reboots the system if it detects modifications, should be approx 1 minute). If it matches, nothing happens (besides an authuld completed successfully message), if it doesn't match, the system reboots.

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 modifying them may convert TV in to the brick.
What for the hell are hashes and how do we calculate them? Read here: Hashes.

  • 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.
  • Hashes of firmware files (exe.img and appdata.img) are stored at other place on TV. begin at offset 0x0.

Hashes on /dev/bml0/3

We have the following structure within this file (at offset 0x1000)

  • Image [16 bytes hash] [4 bytes length]
  • u-boot [16 bytes hash] [4 bytes length]
  • fnw [16 bytes hash] [4 bytes length]
  • authuld [16 bytes hash] [4 bytes length]
  • rootfs [16 bytes hash] [4 bytes length]
  • boot [16 bytes hash] [4 bytes length]

For example, bml0/3 of T-CHLCIPDEUC 2006.0. The hash for kernel (Image) starts at offset 0x1000 and it's length starts at offset 0x1010:

# hexdump -C ./bml0_3_dump

Where: hash of kernel comes first and it is:

26 7a 0e f7 6f f0 e4 9f  79 1b c5 74 54 10 2e d9

Image lengh (hexadecimal)is: e0 3c 2f 00, which has to be read backwards. So the real length is:

00 2f 3c e0 (hex) = 3095776 (decimal)


Calculation made with dumps of LE40B650T2P-2006.0 let you understand better structure of bml0/3:

./chkhash -k 7CED26D8CA2FA0F80BC637E2FF07EC46 -L 0x1000 8 bml0_3_dump *

Now you will know, that after you modify any of those partitions, you have also modify hex signature (hash) as well. MANDATORY at same TV session. Don`t reboot you you haven`t restored hash partition with updated hashes.

exe.img and appdata.img

The hashes for mtd_exe and mtd_appdata are in /dev/bml0/18 and /dev/bml0/19 for a 1Gb flash type TV models (it differs for other flash sizes).

Structureis similar to bml0/3, just hashes are at the beginning of file:

  • mtd_exe [16 bytes hash ] [4 bytes lengh], the next [16 bytes ] [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! :)

./chkhash -k 7CED26D8CA2FA0F80BC637E2FF07EC46 -L 0x0 3 bml19.dmp *
hash[ 0] = d960b582b2ad80eb3203c6bc23735bca   length = 54587392  :  exe.img
hash[ 1] = 077cb33241eccdb1ddf040fdf421829d   length = 30068736  :  appdata.img

Authuld

After boot of kernel and mounting of rootfs, /bin/authuld is called and it is checking hashes of active partitions and authuld itself.
It is important to understand that this check takes some time (this is the delay experienced until authuld reboots the system if it detects modifications, should be approx 1 minute). If it matches, nothing happens (besides an authuld completed successfully message), if it doesn't match, the kernel tells Micom to reboot the system (Micom cmd 143).

On B series (differs from C/D/E series) here are one set of partitions which is always checked (hashes stored on /dev/bml0/3 AND two sets of firmware files (checked only active). Example LExxB650T2P:

1nd. /dev/bml0/8 and /dev/bml0/10
2nd. /dev/bml0/9 and /dev/bml0/11

After authuld finishes checking of partitions whose hashes are stored on /dev/bml0/3, it starts to check firmware active partitions, depends from what boot flag is present on /mtd_rwarea:

PartitionSwitch_0_0 - 1st set of partitions is booting and hashes are checked on 1st strmackeypartition
PartitionSwitch_1_0 - 2nd set of partitions is booting and hashes are checked on 2nd strmackeypartition

At boot time neither hashes of alternative (inactive) partitions, nor its strmackeypartition are checked.

Known numbers of strmackeypartitions

1Gb flash size B series models (like B650...)

/dev/bml0/18 is the 1st strmackeypartition
/dev/bml0/19 is the 2nd strmackeypartition

2Gb flash size B series models (like B7000/8000...)

/dev/bml0/16 is the 1st strmackeypartition 
/dev/bml0/17 is the 2nd strmackeypartition

128Mb flash size models (like B550...)

/dev/bml0/13 is the 1st strmackeypartition 
/dev/bml0/14 is the 2nd strmackeypartition

Key partition

We until today don`t know what is stored on that partition and what is used this info for.
For above mentioned models it`s number is:

1Gb flash - /dev/bml0/20
2Gb flash - /dev/bml0/18
128Mb flash /dev/bml0/15

Example of hex data on that partition (1Gb flash, T-CHLCIPDEUC 2006.0)

hexdump -C ./bml20.dmp
00000000  27 07 79 19 2d 65 f1 22  86 29 40 6c 90 0d af 55  |'.y.-e.".)@l...U|

C series TV`s

Almost all read only partitions on C series are observed by secure boot and modifying them may convert TV in to the brick.
What for the hell are hashes and how do we calculate them? Read here: Hashes.

For knowing what it's talked about here is the whole partition list of a UE46C7700 T-VALDEUC 3011.0:

Just for completeness: SECUREMAC2 (/dev/bml0/11) is the strmackeypartition here.

Typical hash data structure

For all hashes the structure is as follows:
[16 bytes hash][4 bytes length]

16 bytes hash is calculated using chkhash.
4 bytes length is the byte count the hash is/was calculated over. It is stored backwards (see B series for details).

Partition hash data

The hashes of the images exe.img, appdata.img, Image (kernel) and rootfs.img are stored in that order sequentially within a separate partition, sometimes called cmac (hash) partition. These four images are stored in separate partitions. As all four partitions exist twice (one for active set, one for inactive set) there also exist two cmac partitions: SECUREMAC0 and SECUREMAC1

During boot process the hashes of inactive partition are not checked.

The relation is as follows:
SECUREMAC0 (/dev/bml0/9): EXE0 (/dev/stl0/15), APP_DATA0 (/dev/stl0/16), KERNEL0 (/dev/bml0/5) and RFS0 (/dev/bml0/6)
SECUREMAC1 (/dev/bml0/10): EXE1 (/dev/stl0/17), APP_DATA1 (/dev/stl0/18), KERNEL1 (/dev/bml0/7) and RFS1 (/dev/bml0/8)

For example cmac partition for 2nd partition set (/dev/bml0/10) of T-VALDEUC 3011.0 looks like this:

Where

48 F5 8B FA 80 50 D8 8E A1 75 79 57 DC F7 EB C5

is the hash of exe.img (stored in /dev/stl0/17), the image byte size is 0x05557000 (00 70 55 05 read backwards)

58 03 6F E3 6C 3F E1 58 56 13 A9 4 51 AE 92 00

is the hash of appdata.img (stored in /dev/stl0/18), the image byte size is 0x027D4000 (00 40 7D 02 read backwards)

7E E4 E5 37 96 1A A0 DE C4 95 3B AE D4 AD CE 99

is the hash of Image (kernel) (stored in /dev/bml0/7), the image byte size is 0x0038A490 (90 A4 38 00 read backwards)

9B 86 63 05 0A 8F FA 3B 66 07 BA 93 1D BF BE 2B

is the hash of rootfs.img (stored in /dev/bml0/8), the image byte size is 0x0037F014 (14 F0 37 00 read backwards)

authuld hash data

The binary authuld is stored within read-only rootfs partition (is NOT image!). Although rootfs's hash is already checked authuld's hash is checked separately! authuld's hash is stored 0x1000 (4096 dez) byte in front of the end of partition (is NOT image!) rootfs.

For example rootfs partition for 2nd partition set (/dev/bml0/8) of T-VALDEUC 3011.0 looks like this:

Offset(h) 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F

0037EFF0  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................

0037F020  FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF  ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ

Notice: Referring to the partition list written above the partition size of rootfs is 3670016 byte (0x380000). So the hash data for authuld is located at offset 0x37F000 (0x380000 - 0x1000).

Where

05 C7 9B 14 D3 DF 2B A0 88 C3 EB CB 4C A9 3E B5

is the hash of binary authuld, the binary byte size is 0x00009868 (68 98 00 00 read backwards)

After boot of kernel and mounting of rootfs, /bin/authuld is called and it is checking hashes of active partitions and authuld itself. It is important to understand that this check takes some time (this is the delay experienced until authuld reboots the system if it detects modifications, should be approx 1 minute). If it matches, nothing happens (besides an authuld completed successfully message), if it doesn't match, the system reboots.

Bootlader hashes

Not available as far as i could figure out. (maybe because its not used (anymore))
