Restoring /updating Android tablet help

I have a cheapo Chinese Android tablet. Specs as below:

Model Q8H
Processor Dualcore-A23
Android Version 4.2.2
Firmware version v2.0.9
Kernel Version 3.4.39

I have started seeing "android server has stopped" messages appearing. No big deal as it didn't seem to cause any real problems but - I'd like to do a total re-install. I've had it only 8 months and the battery life is gash. I'm aware that you get what you pay for etc!

Only available options under reset are: Factory data reset & Recovery mode.

I have done a factory data reset but all that does is wipe anything I have put on there. I want to totally reinstall the OS.

Recovery mode gives the following options:

Reboot system now
Apply update from ADB (selecting that asks me to send some sort of file??)
Wipe data/factory reset (already tried)
Wipe cache partition
Apply update from internal storage
Apply update from external storage
Apply update from cache

I have looked in the "about" section of settings and there is no update or check for update tab.

Any advice greatly appreciated.
