Partially wiped and broken SCH-I545 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I was trying to install TWRP to my rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 and after trying to boot into recovery after installing it from TWRP Manager, I would get the error Secure Fail: Kernel. When I started my phone I came back to my home screen wallpaper being just blue and the majority of my apps being gone. When I went to application manager I saw the apps were still there, but at 0.00 bytes and their icons were missing. While this was going on I would constantly get the "app has stopped working" error from apps and processes like contacts and calculator. It also seems the google play services are gone too because when I open the play store it immediately closes. When I open Gmail it says "Gmail won't run without google play services, which are missing from your phone." I want to flash the stock using Odin but from past experiences it always fails. I need to know how to fix this and getting the system update to I545VRUGOC1 then factoring resetting will be my last resort. I want to at least stay rooted at the end of this.

[Q] Accidentally deleted several system apps including Gapps using Titanium

I accidentally deleted several system apps, well, without knowing if they were really that important. So now Play Store crushes as soon as i tap to open it, gmail as well, Google Plus, basically every app that has Google in it's name. And i keep getting an error with Google Service Framework, when i try to connect to the internet using Google + app, the error
HTML:
"No connection; Couldn't connect to the server"
and this error keeps popping up every time i press okay,
I also get this error after restarting the phone;
HTML:
Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
I'm using Sony Xperia P LT22i running Android 4.1.2. I think i've messed up my phone coz i can't do anything apart from use the browser, make and receive calls and send texts. How do i go from here to restore it? I've tried a factory reset, it comes back in the same way. I've also tried installing both Google Services Framework apk and Google Play Store, but still nothing works. Same Same errors. I'll appreciate any help i can get. Thanks.

When you install an app it's by default a "User" app. Have you switched the Gapps you reinstalled to "System" apps? If not, do that and try them again.
Also, DO BACK-UPS!!!

[Q] Root related apps won't install anymore

OK, so this problem came up today in the middle of trying to find a working move to SD app. Basically, on the play store, it gives me a message for a few apps that there is "insufficient space available." (it will download it first, then give me the error trying to install) and I get the same message trying to remote install from a computer. If I try downloading from the Playstore as an APK file and side loading I get an error:
Out of Space
____ couldn't be installed. Free up some space and try again.
This doesn't happen to all apps. Just most apps which require a root. It's behaving strangely like a virus, so I am worried that Verizon had some additional programs on the device to make it more difficult to do anything with it.
Of course, I have 22.35 GB available internal and 109 GB available external. I cleared the cache, I uninstalled and reinstalled Google Play, I power cycled the device (turned off and on), and I am not really sure what I can do about it.
If I backup the DRM keys, flash a custom ROM, and then delete the Verizon apps, can I flash to a custom ROM that isn't branded by Verizon and still restore the DRM keys to it?
EDIT: It's gotten much worse. Most apps I try now won't install. They will download just fine, but then at the "Install" point they give that error.
EDIT 2: Problem resolved. It was caused by all of the failed rooting attempts. Titanium Backup/Restore and a Factory Reset with only Easy Root fixed everything.

[Q] Google Play messes up Time and Date and can't install apps after update

I own an Ainol Novo 7 Venus Lite with a stock ROM (build 130328 Android 4.1.1). After reflashing the stock ROM with PAD Product Tools 1.05.02, it all worked well until I started installing apps.
The stock version of the Play Store installed apps without a hitch but as soon as it updates to the new version, the Time and Date no longer syncs right (the time on the Notification Panel, Lock screen, and widget are all out of whack) and apps stop at a certain percentage or stops at Installing...
I've tried deleting the data and cache of the Play Store and Play Services app, uninstalling Play Store updates, resetting my device (it puts me back to the "stock it works then after the update it fails" cycle), and removing and logging back in to my Google account. None of the process worked.

"Google play services won't run unless you update"

Recently I have updated my Sony Xperia SP running cm12 to android 6.0, using the cm updater. I used to run 5.1 I believe, using this update my phone kept rebooting randomly (when starting any app, after running any app for a while, just random). Now that I updated to 6.0 I got rid of that problem, but where this problem ended, it started another one. The very popular "unfortunately, google play services has stopped" error occurred, while I got a notification in my notification bar which said: "Google play services won't run unless you update" or something like that. I have tried everything I could find on the web, such as the obvious clear cache, delete the app etc etc., but unfortunately nothing seems to work... I can't run the playstore app either. At this time I have deleted the play services and now I am getting the error in the notification bar that "*app* won't run without Google Play services".
If anyone could help me with this problem without having to factory reset my phone that'd be amazing. Thanks in advance.
PS. I thought it might have been possible to update the gapps to 6.0 using recovery, but for some reason it doesn't go into recovery either...
same problem here but with RR LP 5.5.9

Google Play Services broken?

Ok, so 3 days ago I had an issue where the YouTube app, when started, was loading the feed infinitely, I decided to go to Play Store and update google services, but the Play Store wouldn't load past the triangle logo.
I've downloaded the external apk and tried installing that, no result with "app not installed" message.
Next, I've tried deleting the Google Play Services (com....gms) and installing them again, but they wouldn't show up in the app list.
Next, I tried to flash the MIUI with ADB without wiping the storage, done that successfully but that didn't change anything.
I'm now trying to at least backup my photos via ADB and re-flash the MIUI with a full wipe. But even the com.android.backupconfirm.BackupRestoreConfirmation won't load for me to confirm backup via adb, it just opens on the phone as an empty window without rendering any output.
Please help guys, I'm really desperate, I'm in a warzone and don't have a lot of time do dig into this deeper =(
Ok, I fixed it =)
pulled out the storage with adb and re-flashed the MIUI
Peace!
