Please can anyone point me in the right direction. I want to do a fresh install of jellybean 4.2.2 on a cheap tablet. The wifi has stopped working so it cant be done OTA. 1. where do i find the software and 2. is there a step by step guide to install it anywhere? thanks Paul
 
hi, i am no expert but you will need to download the firmware from the manufacturer of the tablet. or there should be an option to reset the tablet to factory settings. this can be found in Settings menu.
 
A place to start would be XDAdevelopers, they cater for tons of android devices.

To get to the system menu on quite a lot of these tablets you press and hold ether volume up or down or both then press power, some you have to press volume up or down and home then power.

Be careful as it's easy to brick the device if you choose to wipe the whole thing as it will have no android on to restore with. Then you'll have to go down the route of flashing the rom to get it back, normally done with the USB cable and PC.

Also there might be a newer or custom rom available.
