I'm using a TV Stick device. It only have a USB port and an OTG port which I bought an external device to make it usable for my mouse and keyboard.

Is there a way of reinstalling it without using life CD??? Or just to set it back to factory settings???

Thanks

if the device can boot from USB
then you'll have to download ubuntu ISO and burn to a USB drive using rufus.
then boot from the USB drive

for resetting, try any of this methods
