Following the Tutorial - How to give your Raspberry Pi a Static IP Address my Pi 3+ doesn't appear on network. I have no HDMI display and I am trying to restore the original /etc/network/interfaces.

I already failed with Ext2Fsd Project and not able to pay for Paragon Software.

Wasn't able to OTG mount on Android with my Nexus 5 and VMware's bureaucracy and Terms&Conditions are keeping me away from it. And none of these are worked for me: raspbian - Read a file from the Raspberry Pi's SD card with Windows - Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange

And i have no any USB drive now to boot from it.

What other quick solutions i have?

Try booting a live CD on your laptop. That gives you a Linux system that can edit anything on any Raspberry Pi SDCard.

You can get a live CD from: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspberry-pi-desktop/ which has the look and feel of Raspbian running on your Raspberry.

@Dougie's answer should allow you to edit your /etc/network/interfaces file. But since you asked for "quick solutions", there's none quicker than simply re-installing the OS on your SD card.

As @Dougie recommended, i was using Live linux to roll back the /etc/network/interfaces file on the Pi's SD:

  1. because i had no USB stick, or not even a CD/CD-rom I was using an USB SD reader and old 2Gb SD card
  2. with the amazing LinuxLive USB Creator and
  3. PuppyLinux: Tahrpup 6.0 CE
  4. using the following commands:
    • blkid - command-line utility to locate/print block device attributes
    • mount - mount a filesystem

enter image description here

And my Pi is up and running! :-)
