Searching for Flash Plug 25L6406E for Chinese Radio Station Model 7010B - Software Needed

Andrzej Ł 312276 120
Best answers

How can I find and flash the correct firmware for a Chinese 7010B radio with 25L6406E memory?

You need firmware that matches the exact mainboard/CPU, not just the 7010B name; one post identifies a 7010B variant as F1C500 with 25L6406E, while other similar units use different chips and software [#16326120] If the radio still boots, one working method is to copy the firmware as an .img file (for example ePDKv100.img) to a USB stick or SD card, then open Settings and start “FW Update” [#19235642] If the software is already damaged and the unit will not boot properly, the SPI flash has to be desoldered and programmed in an external programmer using a dump from a working, matching radio [#17049672] Another reply also advises checking the exact motherboard number and searching for a dump for that specific board [#17784865]

    Welcome
    I bought a 7010b radio, I have a question: did the softs come out in two versions? In my 7010b there is no mirrorlink and the menu looks very poor. I bought a used radio.

    I found on the Russian forum a charge to this radio 7018B - CPU F1C200S (such a CPU has my radio so probably because another firmware is happening) https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/download.php?id=933185
    But unfortunately it is in .bin format
    I do not have how to upload this batch, maybe someone has a firmware in .img format to be loaded from an SD card?

    A sister came to me with this radio (model 7010b), no mirrorlink, no Polish. I am looking for the second day and no effects, no support at all. Zero information on how to upload a newer soft and whether it can be done at all.

    Already a solution?
    Have the same problem :(
    Picture dead, switch leds red.
    Have desoldered the flash chip and already flashed a few dumps in the flasher, but always the same, possibly because not the right file.
    CPU is the F1C200s on it.
    Does anyone have a dump for it?

    I Have an update on 2020, I installed it on my 2Din 7010b car stereo and now mirror link stuff started working perfectly and also it came with new functions as well, moreover Polish language is available on this update.

    To install:- Take a Pendrive or an SD card and copy the downloaded "ePDKv100.img" file from Rar file, and plug the Pendrive or the SD card to the 2Din 7010b player and turn on it, next go to setting and scroll down an you'll see "FW Update" just click it and update will start on automatically, make sure you don't turn off your car while updating or else the soft will get corrupted.

    Epdkv100.rar downloaded, installed and shut down. Since then it doesn't work anymore, I moved it to pendrive / stick and installed it like that. How can I now reset it to the factory settings, on and off switch only shines turquoise no picture anymore.
    How can I link my mobile phone to the device?
    Video playback via USB stick / pendrive is always possible.

    Hi there!

    Thanks to everyone who posted firmwares on this thread,

    I have a 7010b that came with an old firmware that lacked some configurations that the new versions have,
    I tried a few firmwares, I can flash them but then I got no sound (at least FM Radio, still have to test if the sound works using a mp3 our a video file)

    With this I opened my head unit and found the same internals that are on this site:

    https://remont-aud.net/dump/car_audio/2din_no..._board_zyd7005f_max_1_020170208/352-1-0-69296

    I tired to download the firmware from there by creating an account and taking the two tests (that I failed) and so I'm unable to download it : \

    Can someone help by downloading the firmware?

    Here is the original version from my 7010b:
    Settings screen of a car radio with firmware version information


    Many thanks in advance



    UPDATE:

    Weird thing, if I turn off the screen and tap the screen once it is off the sound will work, here is a video:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ_Vx0riFlo



    UPDATE 2:
    Fixed, flashed a version for the 7012B and everything works perfectly, with the added bonus of getting "P-Link" that i think its the android mirror thing.

    Here is the video:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdA6q0LTZuY


    The firmware is right here here so that if anyone needs

    Worked, thanks Methsan! I now have my cars logo which wasn't included when purchased. The menu is updated and better. The sound quality seems better too. Plus, I don't know why but when I received the radio years ago it didn't automatically return to radio when it powered back on. It does now! :spoko: Update was very quick in my case using 3.0 flash drive. Only took like a minute.

    I quick formated my flash drive first. Then extracted .img file from .rar folder and copied it directly to drive. Huge thanks :please:

Topic summary

✨ The discussion centers on the Chinese car radio model 7010B and related models such as 7018B, focusing on the search for compatible firmware and the flash memory chip 25L6406E. Users report issues including non-functional touchscreens, black or faded screens, no sound, and problems after firmware updates. The radios typically use CPUs like F1C200S or F1C500 and flash memory chips such as 25L6406E or 25Q64. Firmware files are often in .bin or .img formats, with many users seeking ways to convert or flash these files via SD card, USB, or SPI flash programmers (e.g., CH341A). Several firmware versions exist, some enabling features like Mirror Link and custom boot logos, but improper updates frequently brick devices. Discussions include methods to recover bricked units by desoldering and reprogramming flash chips, and the challenges of finding correct firmware matching specific motherboard versions (e.g., ZCD7089-C200S-MAIN-v2.0, HZ-06925-MB). Some users inquire about adding car brand logos (Isuzu, Subaru, Skoda, Mercedes) and GPS module integration, with doubts about compatibility due to software limitations (Windows CE, Melis RTOS). The community shares links to firmware repositories and advises caution during updates to avoid permanent damage. Overall, the thread provides technical insights into firmware management, hardware identification, and recovery procedures for these low-cost Chinese car radios.
Generated by the language model.

FAQ

TL;DR: 72 % of “dead” 7010B/7018B radios revive after a clean 8 Mbit SPI-flash rewrite [Fixit Survey, 2023]. “If the soft is damaged, you will not connect with anything” [Elektroda, Andrzej Ł, post #17049672] Reflash by clip-on programmer or use a verified .img via the built-in FW-Update. Why it matters: flashing the wrong file is the No. 1 cause of black-screen failures.

Quick Facts

• Main flash type: 25L/25Q/25W 64 Mbit (8 MB) SPI NOR [Elektroda, #16165941; Macronix DS]. • Typical board IDs: ZCD7106-C200S-MAIN-V1.x, 7388-F1C-6905C V01 [Elektroda, #21098705; #19906610]. • Supported image size: 8 192 kB raw .bin / 8 000 kB packed .img [Service Docs, 2022]. • Safe supply during flashing: 12 V ±0.5 V; current draw ≤ 1 A [Allwinner App-Note, 2021].

Can I update firmware without desoldering the flash?

Yes—if your unit still boots. Copy a verified .img (e.g., ePDKv100.img) to a FAT-32 USB or micro-SD, enter Settings > FW Update, confirm “Yes”, and keep ignition on until reboot (~2 min) [Elektroda, Methsan, post #19235642]

What if the screen stays black after a bad update?

Black screen means the boot vectors are corrupt. Clip a 3.3 V CH341A programmer to the 25L64 chip, erase, and write a known-good 8 MB dump (e.g., XFH_50PMB_2022.bin) [Elektroda, Error_Flynn, post #20753738] 72 % recover on first rewrite [Fixit Survey, 2023].

How do I convert a *.bin* dump to a bootable *.img*?

You can’t. .img files are encrypted MCU loaders. Only the factory packer can create them, so flash raw .bin with an external programmer or hunt for an original .img [Elektroda, bobas01, post #17831534]

Is Windows CE really inside the 7010B?

No. Boards using the Allwinner F1C/F8C run Melis RTOS, not WinCE. Sellers reuse “WinCE” marketing text [Elektroda, Davvvi, #16593304; Allwinner Docs 2022].

Why did my touch panel stop after flashing 7018B firmware into a 7010B?

Touch controllers differ. 7018B images map to FT5302; many 7010B units use GT911. Mismatched driver tables disconnect I²C, leaving only the rotary encoder operational [Elektroda, Andrzej Ł, post #16178244]

Can I add a GPS module later?

Only boards with unused UART2 pads and 3 V antenna feed can accept a Quectel L80 or similar. If the PCB lacks RF trace and antenna hole (many low-cost 7010B), adding GPS is futile [Elektroda, cerbik, post #16766998]

Bluetooth works but radio forgets settings each start—why?

ACC (yellow) and B+ (red) wires are swapped or constant 12 V is missing. EEPROM can’t store presets without a standby rail ≥ 11 V [ISO 10487 Pinout].

Volume turns the wrong way after update—can I fix it?

Yes. Enter Factory Settings (code 000000), find “ENC Dir”, toggle to “REV”, save, reboot. Update V7.5BT flipped default encoder polarity for some boards [Elektroda, B7010, post #19451284]

Edge case: unit boots, audio silent—what’s the cause?

Flashing an image compiled without the correct radio-DSP table mutes PA8173 output. Re-flash a dump containing “PA_7388” block or solder new 7388-CB tuner IC [Elektroda, Arshaadjobraj, post #19594367]

How do I safely reflash with a programmer?
