Hi guys, same with me. After update my phone didn't catch signal, I waited for 10-15 mins and thought of searching the signal manually through sim manager settings but i noticed it was not opening. Slowly i realized many other things in OS are not working, like I  getting error "processing failed" while checking software update, no IMEI number showing up.. etc. Today i went to Samsung service center, they diagnosed the device and told that motherboard will be replaced. I had debate with them for some time because I must not be paying for the issue which has been caused by company itself. Then they told me to talk to customer care executives and suggested me to ask them to ger FOC (free of cost) approval. I did raised the issue by calling their tollfree number 1800407267864 and asked them to approve FOC repair. They have scheduled call for tomorrow morning with one of senior executive who has the authority to approve FOC repair. I request everyone of you to follow the same procedure, I am sure Samsung will listen and rectify the issue. I will post an update tomorrow after call with the guy and will let you know how it went. If they refuse then I am surely going to file case at consumer court. Thanks guys, will get back to you.

Don't loose your data unnecesaarily, it is just a software issue.  You will get a fizlx anyway through Odin or Service centre

My Note 8 got updated today morning with July security update and I have not faced any issue. It may not be related, but I wonder if this issue occurs with people who did not Factory Reset their phone at least once after Oreo to Pie upgrade.
Maybe try Factory Reset now (after taking backup) ?
