        There is no need for a hard reset, just go through the steps again. You can most likely switch the phone off by pressing and holding the power button for a while.

        When i turn it off and on back again it gives me the same screen as before, i need to get somehow into recovery mode

          I didn't say turn it back on again. You got some nice step-by-step instructions above:

          disconnect the device from the pc.
          When off press and hold the volume up and power button. It should boot into Ubuntu recovery.
          Connect the device to the pc and allow the install to continue.

            Unfortunately when i do Volume up + Power Button it doesnt give me Recovery. Tried it many times.

              That is very odd. What does volume down + power button do? Are you holding it longer than you think you need to?

                @moem It doesnt go into recovery, just does a regular startup to the same screen.
                I hold the both buttons for about 5 seconds before anything happens. Tried holing it for longer justs turns it on/off. I will try to flash the system with a microSD card later today, saw a thread on this error somewhere on this forum.

                  It should go into Fastboot. Recovery is up + power, fastboot is down + power.
                  I suspect user error, but I can't point to what exactly you are doing wrong. These are very basic features of the phone, they don't generally malfunction.

                      @regular_guy And you're trying these while the phone is off?

                          @regular_guy And when you hold it longer it just boots into the boot splash screen?

                            @regular_guy Try running it through the installer again and tick all the boxes available.

                            • Switch on and connect the phone to your pc and with the device on type in a terminal

                            • adb devices

                            • If your phone is seen then type

                            • adb reboot bootloader

                            That should put the phone into fastboot mode. Start the installer pick the OPO yourself if not detected by the installer. Tick all the boxes and start the installer and see how that goes.

                              @moem Yeah, exactly like that.
                              When the battery is low it shows the screen that it needs charging and that's it.

                                OK so i bought a Google's Nexus 7, i would like to put UbuntuTouch on it, since my phone seems to be pretty much stuck in a dead end.

                                  @regular_guy Make sure it is the 2013 version, LTE (with SIM slot) DEB, or the 2013 WIFI version FLO. UT is not available for the 2012 version.

                                  Xiaomi Redmi Note 7.... And more...
                                  I have too many devices...

                                    So its this one. I checked with the model number "MOB30X" on Google, so i think that's good of a reason to start with the instalation.

                                      @regular_guy Holy Cow, yeeeeesss! I successfully installed UT on Nexus with zero issues. Thank you everyone for helping me in the past couple of days.

                                      PS: i really learned a lot about android recently, it was interesting experience to poke around it.
