First thing would be to unplug any peripherals such as USB drives, etc. and reboot. It's possible that the boot sequence was interrupted/redirected to a HDD partition other than the one you want.

    I think thats may be the problem. I've done this but didn't work, allways back in this gray screen.

    Also update drives in this mode, but doesn't work also

    Since you have the terminal, either use it to browse your drive or drives to see which files are there and identify it. You may also install a nice file manager to do it graphically. Maybe it is just your graphical desktop that got any package uninstalled or has a fallback config or something. Or you installed an extra lightweight desktop without noticing or remembering. Deaktop or even session manager.
