Data partition damaged loop



Hi Guys,

Yesterday i wanted to enable my company email in my Samsung S4 at&t (SGH-I337) mobile. It said, it has to encrypt the mobile to enable email.
I said "Yes", for that. Then after the reboot it said it failed to encrypt the device, and asked me to reset the phone. After i reset the phone it started asking for encryption password... Even if i give the correct password it was not accepting the password. After "Nine" attempts, it said it is going to erase the phone to factor defaults, and rebooted the phone. After the reboot it is still asking for the password, but the moment i enter the password it will reboot.

Finally i decided to write the stock ROM using the odin. Then i downloaded "AP_I337UCUEMK2_1921628_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_ CERT.tar.md5" from the web. After few attempts i was able to write this ROM on the flash.... but when i try to boot this it says "Device memory damaged" + "The data partition has been corrupted. You need to reset your device to factory defaults....".. I tried to format the data partition from recovery multiple times, but it is of no help.

Anybody has any idea on why the device thinks the data partition is corrupted?
