I tried flashing a Google Pixel 3a yesterday to use ubuntu touch and now I am stuck in fastboot (details below). I cannot enter recovery mode (I don't know why). I trie contacting google support, that didn't work, I cannot find any helpful resources for my issue.

I really want to give Ubuntu Touch a try, I just need to somehow get back up on the horse.

I don't know if this is the right place to put this as it is more of a hardware issue? But it started with Ubuntu touch.

Details:

After flashing ubuntu touch it loaded for a while and then it showed the google logo (strange?). I now have the options of fastboot or booting (which never properly loads anything). I cannot enter recovery, although sometimes I can manage to get to a little guy fallen over saying "no command" which happens in the same way that recovery mode starts from fastboot. ADB does not work. I am running linux and dont have access to windows right now (I guess a VM but I have had my own issues with usb not connecting, so its kind of not an option imo). I have tried flashing the original android 9 again, but that doesnt seem to work?
