iPhone 7 plus stuck on black screen with spinning wheel

How do I fix this? I've already tried to reset, enter DFU mode, recover from iTunes. Nothing works. I can't use iTunes because it asks me to grant access from my unresponsive iPhone. DFU mode doesn't work, the screen won't turn off no matter what combination of seconds I hold the buttons for. This has been going on for over an hour. Do I just wait for the battery to die? Please note I don't live in the US or U.K. or anywhere with an Apple Store that I can take it to.


Thanks

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10
