        Hi @Lakotaubp , yes that's right, it must be the original Canonical Ubuntu Touch on it. Thanks for confirming what I feared.

          @Lakotaubp hey, I'm just coming back to this now I have some time on my hands! Any pointer to where to start with putting Android back on? After my previous post I did spend some hours researching how to do but didn't get anywhere. I pointer on where to start would be so helpful - thanks.

          UPDATE: I can get into the UT recovery mode (CWM -based) Recovery v6.0.4.6!

              Hi!

              You'll find available Android images on

              https://developers.google.com/android/images

              nexus 10 is
              https://developers.google.com/android/images#mantaray

              Download the archive that fits your device, you'll need fastboot and adb installed on your PC, and follow the instructions of the Readme within the .zip.

                Thanks @Keneda and @hankschwie

                I have started a thread on XDA, here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-10/help/how-to-restore-android-nexus-10-version-t4088061

                When I do: adb devices, no devices are listed!?

                Any ideas?

                  Dev mode for USB is active and device booted?

                          Hey, after activating Dev Mode, and trying a couple of different USB cables, things worked out. The only other sticking point was that I had to remove -w from flash-all.sh and then the stock image installed fine. I'm super happy to have my Nexus 10 up and running again after 5 years in a box. Already getting lots of use out of it 🙂 Thanks for your help. I don't think I would have found Dev Mode otherwise 🙂 I'm going to update my OP and add the solution.

                            I can't edit my OP, I guess due t anti-spam measures...

                            UPDATE (26/4/2020): I resolved my issues by installing stock Android back on to the Nexus 10.

                            My problem with getting remote access to the Nexus 10 was a mixture of a bad USB cable and/or USB port. I also had to activate "Developer mode" on Ubuntu Touch: Settings > About Tablet > Developer Mode. Once I got a connection the command: adb reboot-bootloader worked.

                            I installed the stock Manta image (as below). I had to remove the -w from the flash-all.sh and then the image installed. I've got a shiny Nexus 10 to use again.

                            BACKGROUND

                            I can get into the Ubuntu Touch recovery mode, version: (CWM -based) Recovery v6.0.4.6, on the Nexus 10, using the key combination: hold down both up and down volume buttons and then press power button.

                            I have followed the following post but I’m stuck at the command: adb reboot-bootloader - How to restore Android.

                            Regarding which version of Android to restore onto the Nexus, I have downloaded a copy of stock Manta from here, which, when unzipped, includes the flash-all.sh script.

                              Great for you, too bad you got to go back androïd because no UBports update for you...

                                @Keneda, yea, I had such high hopes back in 2015. I bought the Nexus especially to put UT on it. I had an Ubuntu Phone at the time too. It looked like I was breaking out of the Google-sphere, only to be sucked back in by the monster 🙂

                                  @scottishfreedom, you certainly made my day! With just a few words, you allowed me to swiftly restore my Nexus 5 to the factory image. This old phone will now make someone else very happy. Thanks a lot!
