[Solved] L9 P765 Stuck in Setup Wizard - LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769

Hi, I had bought the LG L9 P765 a few days ago.
Yesterday, I rooted the phone using the LGPwn.apk, which was a success
and also, I tried installing recovery using the LGRecovery.apk, which was mentioned to be working for p765
After rooting, I removed the system launcher and some other apks.
Today, i was trying to get in to recovery using the (Vol Down + Home + Power) key combination
but instead of getting in to recovery, the phone did a hard-reset.
But, now, since the home launcher is missing (I think this is the problem), the set up wizard
closes with an error saying something like, "...closed unexpectedly" and restarts the whole setup process.
I tried connecting the phone to laptop, but adb does not show any device.
Is there a way I can get the phone working again without flashing an entire rom?
I'm on Ubuntu and it's currently really difficult for me to get a windows system,
and that is kinda troubling me.
Thanks.

Did you ever get into CWM before do factory reset? Factory reset don't remove it from your phone. Try power on your phone when it viberate quickly press Vol+ and Home. If yes, maybe you can put a flashable zip for some apps you removed in sdcard and flash it back.

Thanks for your reply. I tried your suggestion and I got in to recovery.
Unfortunately, this is stock recovery and not CWM.
But the good news is that I can use adb.
But I can't push apps in to the /system/app folder since i'm getting a permission denied error.
I installed a launcher using the adb install command but the phone is still stuck in setup wizard.
Could you also please give me the list of default apps that comes with l9.
Any way to push apps to the system/app folder?
Thanks.

Oh sorry I forget that LGRecovery.apk cannot use with Vol+/home. Did you install busybox and while your phone boot up "back" and "home" button flashing? While it flashing press Vol- to get into recovery.
For adb, you cannot push files into /system without remount it in read/write mode first. And to remount it you need root permission. I don't think it'll work but you can try
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount /system
Here is my phone /system/app list

Which step it fail. During setup wizard there're 2-3 apps in that process. I think they're LGSetupWizard, LGSettings and GoogleLoginService.
LGHome3 is not required to complete that setup wizard.

It fails in the last step.

and once I press the last button, it closes saying that it has stopped unexpectedly

So LGHome3 is your problem. Please upload both LGHome3.apk and LGHome3.odex to your phone. Or you can upload any Home application because I've try it on my phone.
- Delete LGHome3.apk
- Do Factory reset
- Complete setup wizard
- My phone has Xperia Home, so after press "Done" in setup wizard Xperia home show up as my home.

I don't have LGHome3.apk in the system/app folder.
I had pushed a Home.apk which is actually a renamed Apex launcher
But when I restarted, it didn't work
Btw, would it be possible to upload the lghome3 apk and odex file, just so that I could check if that's the problem

Your Home.apk is not work in your phone. I also try to delete all my home app and setup wizard fail to complete its process. It just start over again. Please upload a working home app to your phone. It's good to try to upload original LGHome3.apk and .odex to boot your phone up first. Then you can try to switch to apex later.

Do you know where I can find the files?
I have downloaded the LGHome3.apk but I cannot find the odex file anywhere
UPDATE:
Thank you very much for the support!
Adding the LGHome3.apk did the job!
Didn't need the odex file
Big thanks again. I'm really relieved given that I bought the phone yesterday!

Fine. You should install busybox to make CWM work and start backup your data.

Is there a link or a guide to install CWM on P765?
Or will I have to flash an entire rom?
Thanks.

Your phone bootloader is lock so you can only use artas lgrecovery. But you should install busybox app from market to make recovery work. And you cannot flash any custom rom while bootloader is locked.
