Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for programming operating system (OS) data before a surface mount technology (SMT) process. In some embodiments, a method includes erasing a plurality of memory cells in a memory block, classifying word lines coupled to the memory block into first word lines to be programmed with OS data and second word lines to be programmed in a state pattern, programming, with a multi-bit program, the OS data into first memory cells of the plurality of memory cells coupled to the first word lines, and programming second memory cells of the plurality of memory cells coupled to the second word lines to have the state pattern.
