    My device bricked during the update and won't turn on. Could you send me the original or modified file? I can't find the F133B chip and F18-V3.2 version. I would appreciate your help. Thank you in advance and have a good day.
    AI: What is the exact brand and model of the device (or at least what type of device it is), and is there any label/photo from the case or PCB besides “F133B” and “F18-V3.2”?

    Users posts before the question:
    ...
    Initial assessment

    From your description and the photos, this is not a complete hardware brick.
    It is a firmware mismatch.

    Your board is clearly marked:

    - SoC: Allwinner F133-B
    - Mainboard: F18-V3.2
    - PCB date: 2024-07-31

    The display label also appears to be something like:

    - LC7A-RS070WST217-TAM0

    So the important identifiers are F133-B + F18-V3.2 + the exact LCD/touch assembly.
    The name “7010B Opel” is not sufficient to choose firmware.

    Direct answer

    If the unit shows logo and radio/audio works, but touch does not respond at all, then the firmware you installed is almost certainly using the wrong touchscreen driver or wrong touch configuration for your panel.

    In other words:

    - LCD initialization works
    - main system boots
    - audio path works
    - touch controller does not match the firmware

    So the unit is partially alive, but with the wrong software.

    ---

    Why this happened

    These generic MP5/car multimedia devices often look similar externally, but internally they use different:

    - LCD panels
    - touch controllers
    - flash sizes
    - board revisions
    - GPIO mappings
    - boot configurations

    That is why a firmware called:

    -
    7010B

    -
    7018B

    -
    Opel

    -
    mtc-10.img


    may boot on another board, but still leave:

    - no touch,
    - inverted image,
    - no sound,
    - no buttons,
    - or total brick.

    In your case, the symptom is very typical: wrong touch driver.

    ---

    Important correction

    A normal reset button usually does not restore original firmware.
    It only restarts the device, unless that specific bootloader has a recovery mechanism.

    Also, if touch is completely dead, this is usually not just a calibration problem.
    Calibration helps when touch is shifted or mirrored.
    Your case looks more like driver mismatch.

    ---

    What you should do now

    1. Stop flashing random files

    Do not try more random “7010B”, “Opel”, or “MTC” files.

    That is the fastest way to turn a partially recoverable unit into a full brick.

    ---

    2. First try to regain control without touch

    Before doing hardware programming, try these:

    A. USB mouse
    Connect a standard USB mouse to the device USB port.

    Sometimes these F133-based units support a mouse cursor even when touch is dead.
    If a cursor appears, you may be able to:

    - enter settings,
    - open update menu,
    - flash correct firmware.

    B. IR remote
    If the unit came with a small remote, try it.

    Sometimes menu navigation still works even when touch does not.

    C. Physical buttons
    If there are side/front keys:

    - Power
    - Mode
    - Volume
    - Menu/Home

    test whether any of them can enter a settings or update screen.

    ---

    3. Reflash only with firmware for the exact board

    You need firmware matching as closely as possible:

    Required matchImportance
    F133-Bcritical
    F18-V3.2critical
    same flash memory type/sizevery important
    same LCD/touch modulevery important
    same front panel/button wiringimportant


    A file labeled only “7010B Opel” is not enough.

    ---

    4. If you cannot control the screen: hardware-level recovery is the reliable path

    If mouse/remote do not work, the proper repair path is:

    A. Identify the SPI flash chip
    Please post a sharp close-up of the 8-pin flash memory IC on the mainboard.

    It is usually marked something like:

    - 25Q64
    - 25Q128
    - W25Qxx
    - GD25Qxx
    - MX25Lxx

    This matters because we need to know:

    - chip type
    - voltage
    - capacity

    B. Identify the touch controller
    The touch controller may be:

    - on the mainboard, or
    - on the small PCB attached to the display/touch ribbon

    Please post:

    - a sharp photo near the display ribbon connector
    - a photo of the front panel PCB
    - the back side of the mainboard

    This is often the missing piece.

    C. Program the flash directly
    If there is no other way, use:

    - CH341A programmer
    - SOIC8 clip
    - software such as NeoProgrammer or AsProgrammer

    Very important:
    - Use 3.3 V, not 5 V
    - First read and save backup at least 2 times
    - Compare the two reads to confirm a good connection
    - Then erase / write / verify

    Because the unit still boots, even a bad dump can still contain useful board-specific data.

    ---

    5. Possible alternative: boot/update from TF/microSD

    Since this is an Allwinner F133-B platform, some variants can be recovered from:

    - TF/microSD boot card
    - vendor update card
    - vendor USB update image

    But this only works if you have the correct image format for this board family.
    Not every
    .img
    file is interchangeable.

    So yes, SD-card recovery is possible on some units, but only with the correct F18-V3.2 image.

    ---

    What your photos already tell us

    From the photos, I can already say:

    - this is not a classic old 7010B board type,
    - it is a newer F133-B / F18-V3.2 platform,
    - therefore older “7010B” firmware packages are unsafe,
    - the screen label may help identify the proper panel,
    - the green daughterboard is probably not the cause of the touch problem.

    So the main mistake was choosing firmware by product name instead of PCB/platform.

    ---

    Best practical recovery order

    Use this order:

    1. Try USB mouse
    2. Try IR remote / hard keys
    3. Do not flash random images
    4. Find exact F133-B / F18-V3.2 firmware
    5. If still no control: read/write SPI flash with CH341A

    ---

    What to upload next

    Please add these clear, close photos:

    1. Back side of the mainboard
    2. 8-pin flash chip marking
    3. Area around LCD/touch ribbon connector
    4. Any small IC on the display/touch board
    5. The full text from the display sticker

    If you upload those, I can help you determine:

    - where the flash chip is,
    - whether the touch controller is visible,
    - and whether recovery should be done by SD/USB or directly by programmer.

    ---

    Brief summary

    Your device is most likely soft-bricked by incompatible firmware, not physically damaged.

    Logo + radio working + no touch = wrong touch driver/configuration, not necessarily bad LCD hardware.

    The correct direction is:

    - stop random flashing,
    - try USB mouse first,
    - then recover using exact F133-B / F18-V3.2 firmware,
    or if needed,
    - program the SPI flash directly with CH341A.

    If you want, send the next close-up photos and I will mark which IC is the flash memory and what to check next.

    First of all, thank you for your reply. My BIOS chip says BoyaMICRO 25Q128

    ; I'll write the rest after reading it. Secondly, I can't connect a USB drive because it has a microSD card slot, and I'll take new pictures and send them again. Thank you for your help. You're right, the ones I uploaded are already locking it, and I have a newer version card. However, I don't have the image file; the company no longer sells it, and I can't obtain the image file, so I don't have it.

    Added after 4 [minutes]:

    I downloaded and installed the Opel IMG file from this forum, the logo appeared, the FM radio screen came up, and then it froze. It's not the original, and it froze before, so I tried that, and the screen and FM radio opened. That's what I meant. My device is a portable 7" MP5 CarPlay device, the kind that attaches to a vacuum-seal for cars.
