@julyweezer: Please can you try powering off the device, then press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons together to see if you're able to boot the device in this manner? If not, connect the phone to your home computer (don't worry if it doesn't recognise the connection) and press and hold the Volume Up and Power buttons until you see the Samsung logo, then release. If you're able to enter Recovery mode, use the Volume Up/Down buttons to navigate the menu, and select 'Wipe cache partition' using the Power button.
If the device remains in a boot loop state, then please head to samsung.com > Scroll to the bottom of the page > Contact us, and get in touch with our Support Team via your preferred contact method, and an advisor will be able to arrange for the device to be inspected and repaired by an authorised Samsung engineer.
@julyweezer: If you arrange an inspection with one of our engineers, then the device will be returned to its default factory settings as part of the repair process. With this in mind, an external backup would need to have been created in order to recover your data. You should find that your Google and Samsung accounts, when re-registered, will restore some of your personal data such as contacts and calendar entries, however this will be limited depending on your existing backup and sync options. I apologise for any inconvenience this might cause you.
