Edit... wow smh, i cant believe i jus let this occur.....
So a friend was over while i left the previous post prior to this edit. Long story short i was told "hey gimme ya phone i got this, i know the problem and how to fix it..."....... yea, im sure u can see now where this story is going .
Dude did a factory reset, thru cwm (i assume), now i cant install any apps. When it finishes downloading and begins to install... It reboots the phone.

UUUGGGHHHHH..... So instead of figuring out how to fix all this step by step, is there a way to unroot the phone ? And begin the process all over. So i can do a clean new root of the phone ?


Sorry for the nonsense.... this just got me real urked now. =0(
Man that sucks!!!
Can you still access cwm? Is yes, I would flash the stock rom. Hopefully that should fix your problem
