Problem started after phone was rooted. Need help please!

Before my phone was rooted, here was my configuration:

Android Version: 4.4.4. Verizon
Build Number: KTU84P.G900VVRU1ANK2
Kernel Version: 3.4.0

I was able to successfully root my phone and verify via Root Checker! Problem started when i try to upgrade to Marshmallow and install a custom ROM. Here are the steps i made:

Installation Instructions for VZW S5 with Unlocked Bootloaders

Copy the G900V_PF4_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip (or the deodexed and debloated version of the ROM) to your device's internal storage on external SD card.
Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions prompted by the app.
Press the rounded "+" button twice to bring up the Actions menu.fireflash-app-android
Now tap Flash Zip or OTA option and select the G900V_PF4_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip.
Make sure that Auto-mount is unchecked under the Options menu and press the checkmark to continue.
From the main menu uncheck all options under EverRoot.
Set the Reboot settings to Download.
When all's done, tap the Lightning bolt icon followed by OK to begin the installation.
When the installation is finished, your device will reboot automatically into the Download Mode.
Now connect your phone to the PC via USB cable and launch Odin.
Click the PDA/AP button in Odin and select the G900V_PF4_Bootloader.tar.md5 file.
Then hit the Start button to begin the installation.
Your Verizon Galaxy S5 will reboot automatically.

The problem is now when i turn on the phone, a message would pop. SECURE FAIL: KERNEL on upper left corner and a START UP FAIL with a YELLOW triangle and an exclamation point inside. At the bottom it says YOUR DEVICE DIDN'T START UP SUCCESSFULY. USE THE VERIZON SOFTWARE REPAIR ASSISTANT ON A COMPUTER TO REPAIR YOUR DEVICE.

I should have just been content with a ROOT phone since my main goal was to remove bloaters. I should have not upgraded to Marshmallow 6.0
and install a custom ROM.

Was hoping for your expert advice since i am not a techy myself. Thanks in advance for all your input.
