Can you boot into download mode aka Odin mode hold volume down and power key at powered off you may need to pull battery then put it back in

That would be a problem... unnfortunately I dont know what it was on when it bricked... BUT the BOK3 IMG worked... I am in ODIN download mode... but... not sure what to try to write to it... since the bootloader is trashed and not sure what firmware is on it..

OK ... So I flashed the G900V_PF4_Bootloader.tar cause I had it... and am now at the SAFESTRAP and attempting to install the G900V_PF4_Stock_Deodexed_Debloated_ROM... and right now after installing that zip with safestrap... I am looking at a blank screen with the two lights on the bottom lit...

So flash the ok3 or pb1 firmware in Odin to your device then you can root that firmware
And bootloader unlock maybe a possibility check your Cid with the brick bug check app avaliable on Google play Store if your cid starts with 15 you can get bootloader unlock if it's 11 sorry but your bootloader can't be unlocked

Yes I found the thread on rooting the PB1, and Unfortunately I am a 11 (toshiba chipset) so no unlocking bootloader for me... however... just got it all set up and my charging port is acting funny so I am going to warranty exchange this one for a new (USED) one. I guess I just flash the STOCK PB1 Image back to it?
