What didn't work?
Ubuntu freezes on Installing the driver, It was working fine I might have installed some ubuntu update and after restarting the PC wifi drivers were not present and hence I tried to install again but now it freezes at installation.
What did you try?
I tried solution provided at #68
My ubuntu freezing to. I installed and there was no problem but I tried to connect a wifi and my system freezed and now I can't launch my ubuntu on kernel 4.4.0-96-generic. It's freezing after enter my password at login screen ! Can anyone help ?
same issue with @MuhammedResulBilkil
Similar issues ever since 4.4.0-83-generic. My freeze happens as soon as the computer starts searching for WiFi, exact same results with all kernels 4.4.0-83 to 4.4.0-97. Tried using both the dkms and manual installs just in case, but that didn't change anything.
Solutions at #68 not working for me =(

You can restore "your access" to your system, if you:
- login as a guest user
- Disable Wifi - uncheck "Enable Wifi" (click on connections menu at the top bar)
- press Ctrl + Alt + F1
- on the command screen: login with your credentials
- systemctl reboot -i
After this You can login with your regular account
Go to MT7630E-release/rt2x00 folder.
Open rt2800lib.c in Gedit and search if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 6, 0) replace it with if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 4, 0) for the 2 matches.
Open rt2800lib.h and search if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 6, 0) replace it with if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 4, 0) for the 1 match.
Now, you can install the drivers:
sudo ./uninstall
make clean
make
sudo ./install
