Issues after rooting Alcatel 5065N

Went into as much detail as I possibly could

n00b made a b00b00

After I discovered Androids had the ability to access everything in the operating system by adding a standard Linux function, rooting it, it undoubtedly peaked my interest. As I went through various Androids, I'd read up on ways to customize the phones via rooting or other methods.. but was always hesitant on actually rooting the device and risk having to tell my mom I broke my phone, ha.

Now, (somewhat of) an adult, I decided to finally root an Alcatel Tru 5065n, *silent woo.* Eager and full of impatience, I did some research and ended up using KingoRoot, supposedly the only functioning way to root my specific device, and rooted it through my PC. After playing with my phone for a while, I noticed a few issues with it's performance.. Whicchhhhh led me to panic over the likelihood of causing severe damage to my device. To Google!

I decided I wanted to un-root the system entirely. First un-rooted it within KingoRoot itself, still laggy, KingoRoot was still present in device although all the apps were gone, but root permission was no longer available. I wanted to rid my phone of KingoRoot completely, but couldn't find a way to do so without using another root service name "SuperSu." Which required, of course, re-rooting and installing KingoRoot and it's apps. My phone turned off during root, and took way longer than usual to reboot but KingoRoot said it had completed rooting while the device was mid-boot. Once the phone turned on, it had the apps re-installed and root was back in action. Now to rid my poor Alcatel of all things root.

Luckily, I managed to find [MENTION=4623971]evildog1[/MENTION]'s thread "Replace KingoRoot with SuperSU manually without Terminal." I followed the instructions word for word, educated myself on whatever I didn't know, and successfully had a working SuperSu. I thought maybe, "Hey, this could make my phone run smoothly and I can just keep it rooted :)" Still lagging and freezing here and there, I refrained from using SuperSu's Full Unroot option.

As the days pass, an abundance of cuss words have been added to my vocabulary more and more & I find myself restarting the device more than actually using it. Apps would freeze. The keyboard crashes, pops-up for a split second to type A BLOODY WORD and the refuses to resurface unless restarted. Everything lags, but sometimes if I'm lucky an app won't glitch out and send me to the Open Apps Tab, which allows me to close all open tabs but then stays showing me the little broom. SMS notifications vanish into thin air. My home screen won't show any apps and then the device just literally will not do a damn thing but force restart. Oh, and then it takes FORFFRIGGINEVER to turn back on because "Android is Optimizing Apps." Since it was doing nothing tempt me to throw my phone into my pool, I tried using SuperSu's fancy Full Unroot every raves about.

It stayed at "Uninstalling, please wait ..." for over an hour. I gave up at that point and just switched to my iPod since I don't go out much and it's just been sitting on my counter for days.

Now, when it's on, it restarts on it's own, but gets stuck on the MetroPCS screen until the batteries die unless I take the batteries out myself and turn on the phone for it to only stay on for an hour or two until it decides to continue taunting me. I am now the un-proud owner of a paperweight.

Please help. All I want is to un-root my phone and restore my phone to it's original state before I ruined everything.
