How fucked am i? When i start the device, i only get the Samsung logo.'
Will it work to buy a SD-card reader, plug it to the computer and then manually install the software again?

Say the latter works, then i do have a clean device. Should i install something else while at it?
if it was your /persist then your'e fucked, the phone won't be able to get cell service again
what is persist? cant i just download the things manually?
the persist has info specific to your phone like IEMI number and whatnot, you can't use anyone elses'
Can you link me the guide you used?
>tried to rootkit my phone
>rootkit
Whelp. You're an idiot.
Very fucked
I fucked up on step 11. Step 12 should have been before it. I might use this as an advantage and just install a custom ROM, but at the moment my computer won't even find the phone and it doesn't show up when i plug it in.

It's a Galaxy S8+. I clicked format.
I have never done anything like this before.
Okay. you might be fine. Can you get the phone into recovery mode? (press & hold power+vol up+bixby button (no clue what the bixby button is but hopefully you can figure it out))
Also! I want you to please promise to only ever read android guides off of xdadevelopers, this pajeet cashgrab tutorial is cancer
I pressed the buttons and are now in the teamwin recovery. I can "read only" and at the bottom i can swipe to allow modifications. Thanks for the recommendation, i will use xdadevelopers in the future.
I swiped it and are now in the menu with different options, with install, backup, restore, wipe, mount, advanced, etc.
