Here are the order of events:

Gets new LG Spectrum
Finds bloatware on phone
tries to uninstall but cannot
roots phone
installs Titanium Backup
Backup all apps and system stuff
deletes some bloatware
realizes phone does not emit sound at all.

I don't know when it started, but now i can't seem to get any sound to come out of this thing at all! Even during shutdown and startup, no more sound! Apparently, the system somehow detached with the audio hardware of the phone, as Audio recorder fails to work, and when trying to talk in a call, no sound comes out either way. I have no idea how this even happened. I'm almost certain sound was there before i rooted the phone, but after I'm not entirely sure, as i didn't really notice it. I can't see the bloatware i uninstalled being the cause of this. It's very strange. Everything else seems to work fine.

What should i do?? o_O
 
Assuming new phone, were there any calls or sounds encountered before rooting, such as the start up or shut down? What is the base line of this device did it work right previously?

Any how a complete restore to stock appears needed, primarily to start out with a fully functioning device rather than wondering down the road what sounds function or not.
 
Your first and worst mistake was deleting bloatware. NEVER delete unless you have first used an app like AnTek App Manager to "freeze" said bloatware apps.establish what apps do and do not cause problems when frozen. then, and ONLY THEN, can you proceed to deletion, but really, freezing is all that needs to be done. Deleting bloatware all together is just about begging for trouble.

I recommend you revert to stock, reroot, and follow the process of freezing, not deleting, apps.
 
K, I realized what i did wrong, something went derp during the rooting process, and after allowing it to run the rooting process again I got full sound and functionality back. Everything seems to be working fine so far. Just wondering though, In the instance where I have to revert to stock, how would i do that? I haven't been able to find a ROM w/ the Spectrum's stock ROM in it.
 
If you also installed flashed CWM, there is a method of returning to pure v4 or v6 stock using nandroids through CWM. There is a thread on it in the All Things Root section.
