Can you boot into recovery and do a wipe data? That should allow your phone to boot successfully.

LOL so just as I posted six hours before you? :good:
It's an XDA trait. Maybe it's for the thanks or the post count. In a few cases, I've given working solutions and the OPs came back and said it worked, yet I'll find a post after that suggesting the same or something different (sometimes it's easier than what I've suggested, sometimes it's harder and sometimes it's not what the OP was asking for)

It doesn't make any sense to me, I think you're right. :D

Corrupt backup probable .

Flash stock rom via Odin .

Okay.So most likely I already lost my data?Because I still have a backup of that that "backup' on my PC.

Update
I manage to fix my backup file by replacing some of its data form a older backup.And it works,I manage to restore my phone.Thanks anyway :)
