Once inside the bootloader environment, identify your storage banks using commands like mmc info or usb start .

Most modern televisions store their operating system on eMMC or NAND flash memory chips soldered directly to the mainboard. The bootloader is the first piece of code that runs when you turn the TV on. It initializes the hardware and loads the main operating system.

MediaTek chips are widely used by brands like Samsung, Fire TV, and Philips. Tools like mtk-su or Python-based MediaTek extraction scripts help bypass bootloaders to dump boot images directly from the hardware.
