Stuck at GRUB / partition problem - UBUNTU [closed]

(I've already ask the question in the Ubuntu Community - sorry if it duplicates)

The problem:

So the start was that I wanted to extend one of my partition to get bigger (with formatting another one). I did it with boot stick, but exactly when the extendening has started something went wrong and and the whole system collapsed. Ever since only the GRU (minimal bash) is starting as in this page Ive tried this solution, however this does not work. Ive also tried the fsck command to restore the status of my partition but it did not work either.

I`ve also tried similar solutions:

ls  set prefix=(hd0,1)/boot/grub #note: maybe (hd0,2) or (hd0,3)  set root=(loop0)  set  ls /boot  insmod /boot/grub/linux.mod  linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro #note: maybe sda2 or sda3 to match #2 above.  initrd /initrd.img  boot  

however it always says that here is no vmlinuz file however i can see it when i command ls.

The boot repair does not offer me to repair the problem, and the info is this:

Do you propose any solution which could fix this?

The other thing which came in to my mind is simply to install again a new ubuntu - do you think i could reach the content of the mighty faulty partition?

One more info - in gparted my system looks like this:
