This question already has an answer here:
How can I repair grub? (How to get Ubuntu back after installing Windows?)
12 answers
I can no longer boot Ubuntu following a corruption problem initially reported here (How do I solve the "invalid arch dependent elf magic" error message).
When I power my laptop, I now get the following message:
GNU GRUB version 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.7
Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions.
Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions." and then the prompt
grub>
Can anyone help me get back to Ubuntu ?

Big thumbs up to everybody. I chased down a few leads and finally solved the problem by booting from a live CD and entering the command "sudo update-grub" @derHugo your help was massively useful.

Ok, from grub type ls (hd0,1)/
you should see a file named vmlinuz or linux, and initrd.img
Type linux (hd0,1)/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 or linux (hd0,1)/linux root=/dev/sda1 depending on what you found with ls (hd0,1)/, then:
initrd (hd0,1)/initrd.img
boot
If you get initramfs rescue mode enter your password, then startx.
You should now have a desktop.
Use gparted to check your file system, if it reports an error, then you need to boot from a LiveCD or other media to fix it .... DO NOT attempt to repair a mounted partition.
The following three commands fix many grub boot problems. They run quick so just do all three instead of trying to find which one you need.
sudo grub-install /dev/sda && sudo update-grub && sudo update-initramfs -u
Reboot and see what you get.

@ravery Yes I could have corrected the typo. I have a weird point of view thinking it's more polite to point out to the author and letting them make the change. That way an otherwise spotless answer doesn't have the "blemish" of an "edited by someone else" flag. I do edit new users' questions frequently though... Have another +1 :)

You can't start a x session or run a GUI program from Initramfs... nothing has been mounted yet.

The most probable cause to that issue is installing the OS to a disk, grub to a different disk that is not removable. Then removing the OS disk.

Restart your system.
Press f2 key while loading.
Goto boot option.
Press f5/f6 to change values (which os you want to install keep it in first place.).
Enter f10 key....It may solve your problem.
.

If not enter this in grub rescue mode....
ls
(hd0) (hd0,msdos6) (hd0,msdos5)....(hd0,msdos1)
OR
(hd0) (hd0,gpt6).....(hd0,gpt1)
set boot=(hd0,gpt6) OR set boot=(hd0,msdos6)
set prefix=(hd0,gpt6)/boot/grub OR use msdos6 instead.
insmod normal

these are various ways to launch grub. this is not the issue as OP states. grub launches but drops to recovery mode. The issue is that the grub config file is missing

Big thumbs up to everybody. I chased down a few leads and finally solved the problem by booting from a live CD and entering the command "sudo update-grub" @derHugo your help was massively useful.

The various hints given by @derHugo can be found on the chat site on Stack Exchange here: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/61451/… and in particular when he recommended googling the question, here: "Haha sorry always forget that ^^ anyway please Google it there are tons of articles addressing this issue e.g. here is another one". Anyway, I'm absolutely made up to be up and running on my laptop again. I know I'm not supposed to say thanks, but I will all the same. THANKS !
