@moem Thank you, after some time using i might say that it is quite awesome, yet to try sim card capabilities

@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.

@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.

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.

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.

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

@moem Yes

@moem Yeah nothing with the Volume Down + Power option either. Didnt do anything.

@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.

When i turn it off and on back again it gives me the same screen as before

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.

@moem said in Cannot install UT on my One plus one:

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

@moem It is a great improvement, but i dont know how to at least do a hard reset so i could try to install again. I think i am close. I chose the stable version

@regular_guy So, i have a new problem now. I installed VirtualBox with all extension and it recognized my device on Ubuntu. It flashed all the way to the end, but then said that i should restart with volume up and power button together. When i do that my phone screen says "powered by ubuntu" with Oneplus logo. Its just stuck on that step
Edit:

@regular_guy I am thinking of getting Google Nexus 7 Quad core tablet.
Would that be a good option? Its only 35$ right now on the market here

Then at the bootloader select recovery.

I just bought a brand new usb-microusb cable, thats of pretty decent quality and plugged it into usb 3 but it still didnt work as you can see from the screen shot. Says waiting for device and nothing is happening. I ran twrp from a destination folder of Android Studio, the results were the same.

@mrt10001 Ok, i will try to get a high quality USB cable. Thanks

@mrt10001 Yeah, tried all that yesterday

@mrt10001 I tried with

It says its waiting for device, i have enabled everything in developer mode that i should have, and nothing is happening on the phone.

@mrt10001 I am going to try this solution later today and will let you know of my results. Thanks for the help

@mrt10001
TWRP App says : " Unfortunately package installer has stopped " when i try to run it.

You need to see OnePlus One. in DM you will see it as Qualcomm MSM8974 with no Android installed.

Oh shoot, I totally misread that, thought it was a OnePlus device. Yes you are right.

This is how it is registered in DM
