Unfortunately you did a whole lot of things by now. So it is hard to
tell in what state your system is now. If you run

sudo apt-get install -f

does this still complain about the kernel packages? This would be
something to solve first as the nvidia binary module requires those to
compile a driver module. One thing to make it simpler for the moment to
change boot arguments or which kernel to boot is to run

sudo vi /etc/default/grub

and add '#' to the beginning of those two lines

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true

Then run

sudo update-grub

that should give you an automatic grub selection screen at boot with a 10s 
countdown. Under "advanced option" would be any older kernels left on the 
system. Does booting back into an older one give you some high-res graphics 
again?
Does pressing "ctrl-alt-f1" give you a text console?
