Can you boot into download mode?

Rooted success or no?

Edit: ah crap, misunderstood ya....press/hold the power button to try and force a restart. Is the battery removable ? Sorry, not familiar with that model of Sammy :(

I can get into download mode, but no luck with the firmware. I can't find the right one. New phone. I'm pissed. Should have left it alone.
 
What model you got? What method did you use to root, custom recovery or cf root? Could you link the guide you followed? :)

Seriously what model have you got? American or an international. If international (sm-g950F) for the sake of getting your phone up and running it doesn't have to be exact firmware you had. As long as it's g950 firmware it should work.

Oops sorry my bad. I meant g930f. I gave you number for the s8. I hope you haven't seen it yet.
 
Its a 935A

Edit: Well it's 1:48 a.m., I got it recovered. Power is super low, can't log into my google account, keyboard is a lil funky on google login. Charging it back up, I'll try it in the morning.
