Complete noob thinks he may have softbricked his phone



Hi guys. Brand new to this whole rooting thing. Long story short, I rooted my device (Galaxy S3 sgh-t999) a while back and was just living off stock touchwiz just with all the bloatware deleted. I had the most recent version of TWRP installed and my recovery was based on that. I then downgraded TWRP to 2.3.3.0. It asked me to reboot and I did so. Now I'm stuck at the Samsung logo screen but it doesn't get past that. The device seems to boots up, but the moment the little Samsung jingle starts to play (you know the swirly blue mist that encompasses the Samsung logo), it stops in the middle of the jingle and the phone won't get passed it.

I tried rebooting back into TWRP via up, home, power and was able to get into TWRP recovery good enough, but upon trying to restore from my custom backup, it just repeats itself. Any ideas if this is fixable? Sorry if this is in the wrong forum guys. Please go easy on me.
