Broken system due /lib dependency problem QUICK HELP REQUIRED

Hello folks,

I'm having a big trouble now with the /lib upgrading issue. I thought that it may help to move the entire /lib directory into another location, now I've moved it to /root/BACKUP/lib.
After I removed this, I can't run any commands on the shell.

-bash-4.2# ls
-bash: /bin/ls: No such file or directory

Can I solve this problem in any way so that I can move /root/BACKUP/lib to /lib again???

The same question again...
If you are lucky, you already have busybox installed with setuid. Then you can launch an root busybox shell. Otherwise:
Boot with an arch setup cd or any other live cd, mount your root and move the folder back. Or try break=postmount

Also, "QUICK HELP REQUIRED" is as annoying as it is offensive:
