Root I think I bricked it... help?

I rooted my Edge with Framaroot about a week ago so I could run Frep. I did a complete backup on Titanium Backup, and then deleted a few of the stock apps and changed some of the file extensions to .bak instead of .apk so I wouldn't get the activation notices whenever I rebooted it. I didn't try to modify the settings file or anything. Today I decided that I didn't need it rooted anymore, so I restored everything that was backed up with Titanium, used the unroot option on Framaroot, and reset everything my phone.

Now whenever I turn it on I get a popup that says "Unfortunately, GI Camera has stopped," and when I press okay it keeps coming back up, and I see in the background what looks like an app opening with "GI Camera" at the top. I can still pull down the notification center but can't go to settings from it. The home button vibrates when I press it but doesn't bring me to the home screen. It doesn't stay on for more than ten minutes. I've tried putting it in recovery mode and restoring it from that, but that doesn't work either.

Sorry for the wall of text. I'm pretty new to Android, so I'm not sure what to do or if there's even anything I can do. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do?
 
Restoring from recovery mode removes anything you've added to the phone. You r problem is that you removed something that the phone needs to run, and failed to restore it.

Bring the phone into your carrier and see if they can reflash it for you.
