I'm looking for a compatible ROM (firmware) for my child’s LY-2020-01 Android tablet, originally running:
  • System: EXdroid4.4.2_r2-33-2.1
  • CPU: Allwinner A33 (quad-core Cortex-A7)
  • RAM: 512MB DDR3
  • Screen Resolution: 1024×600 (7-inch touchscreen, vertical orientation)
  • Storage: 8GB NAND flash
  • OS: Android KitKat 4.4.2 (EXdroid skin)
  • Motherboard / Build.prop (unfortunately lost after factory reset, but may have shown something like a33-q8-v1.5 or a23-a70H in config files)
  • Touchscreen IC (unconfirmed): Possibly ft5x06 or gt9xx

🔋 Power Supply:​

  • Internal lithium battery (unknown exact specs)
  • Charged via micro-USB using a 5V/2A adapter
  • Tablet is about 1.5 years old – mostly unused before now

💽 Disk / Storage:​

  • Internal: 8GB NAND
  • Currently wiped due to factory reset & failed ROM flash
  • No SD card installed at the moment

🔌 Peripherals:​

  • USB connection to PC via PhoenixSuit (for flashing)
  • Onboard front camera (works on some ROMs)
  • Integrated speakers and headphone jack
  • No external devices

🌐 Network:​

  • Wireless (Wi-Fi) only
  • Internal RTL8723BS (common in A33 tablets)

❓ Why am I flashing a ROM?​

The original Android system was corrupted after a factory reset (likely bad NAND partition layout or bootloop). The tablet is now stuck at boot or blank screen, so flashing a fresh ROM is the only way to recover it.

🔽 ROMs I’ve tried so far:​

ROM FilenameResult
20151008_a0733r_5.1os_512M_1024X600_autoCam_6gsBooted but screen is flipped upside-down, and touch is inaccurate
A33-1024x600-T74ER-android4.4-KVT49L-20150627-test-keysCurrently testing
OthersMostly fail to boot or stuck at logo

🧩 Problem:​

When flashing certain A33-based ROMs, the screen displays upside-down, and touch input is misaligned or completely broken. Likely due to wrong display or touch driver orientation (sys_config.fex mismatch). These devices often use:
  • FT5x06 / GT9xx / GSL3680 touchscreen ICs
  • 1024x600 vertical LCDs
  • Display orientation set incorrectly in bootloader or kernel config

📎 Need help with:​

  • Finding the correct ROM or firmware for LY-2020-01 / EXdroid 4.4.2 system
  • Or modifying an existing A33 ROM to:
    • Correct display rotation
    • Fix touch alignment
  • Preferably Android 4.4.x or 5.1.1 (lightweight)

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

List of all connected peripherals.

Wired or wireless network?

What/why is the reason for "downloading a ROM"? ROM is Read-only-Memory and that would be hardware if I am not misunderstanding something.

Link to that "ROM"?

As for upside down/flipped screen there may be a software configuration setting that restores the screen to normal.

More information needed.
