Hey Josh, welcome to our AndroidForums.
I've moved your thread over here to the all-things-root are for the Hydro Life since your issues appear to be root-related.
If the update that you're speaking about is an over-the-air (OTA) update and you removed some stock apps that the OTA is checking for (and therefore expecting to find and still be there), then that would account for the OTA's installation failure.
I'll let the other Hydro Life root folks help you out from here (I don't have a Kyocera, so I can't give you any specific recovery advice).
Cheers and best of luck!
