Have you tried hard resetting the device, if you have, i would try to contact the person who sold it to you and see if they have a link for the original firmware.

Is this your device?

 

here are some photos i snagged off of ebay...

 

when corisponding with tipster...i restarted this unit once again to check the wmt 2.1.2_105 no.for him...when i did it booted to an animated screen seen here: it is still spinning..LOL! i will either let it spin till it changes or until one of you super mods hook me up with some magic trick.... thanx for trying to help!

 

Have you tried contacting the seller and seeing if they can give you any insight on where to find the original firmware.

 

i have but as of yet, no response....i have posted all the info available to me. is firmware specific to the unit or are there other firmwares that can be installed?? if so.. how do i transfer them to a non operational tablet??
ps...my daughter is very grateful too. she wanted me to type that.

 

With the generic tablets usually you have to find one that is compatable with your processor, since most are the same just sold by different vendors, but when I search for your device, i can not find any info on which firmware would be loaded. Tipster may be able to help you out he is pretty good at finding out firmware for devices.

And you can tell your daughter we will do everything to try and get the tablet up and working, which wont be that hard once you find the correct firmware.

 

its begining to feel like this will be back in china before i can figure this out almost 24 straight hours researchin'...still not one solid method of correction....frustrating.

 

she likes you ..better than me right now.. ) thanx again

got it booted up to the start just by draining battery and starting it over and over...once started....i had to connect a mouse to it to get any response....touch pad wont work
but i was able to see that it is an xperia x10 mini pro by posting onto facebook and reading where i posted it from..now to find out how to fix touch pad....oooh my daughter is gonna give me a big kiss

 

Its an X10 facebook will try to find the device you are using to download the application for it, but it will not detect generic devices. Its says x10 on all my devices. but its good that you got it booted. try to go under settings-about and see what information it has there. Also can you find an update firmware option on your tablet.

 

I think I have same device with you. They look like same.
Maybe you need reinstall the os.
I am not sure this way is work to you , but I just save my device by this.
try read guide from here.
