Samsung galaxy note 8 not working after July software updates

[HirenChauhan1]

Samsung Galaxy note 8 received July security update yesterday morning. Installation went well but after powering on the phone lost capability of Network detection. It was showing circle with minus at the place of the signal bar. I tried by reinsert the sim again and again but no success. No device is showing 'An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software'. I visited the service center and they told me that it's IMEI no is crashed and they flushed the device and it is completely dead. I shows the error only on the screen. Anyone else faced this issue with note 8 July update.

Service centre said motherboard needs to be changed. Like why? Samsung needs to fix this asap. Sim card not detected. Mobile network option has vanished from connectivity. Once you open Sim card manager phone freezes. Cannot sign into samsung services. All this going on with a flagship? Samsung needs to work on it now or replace with a new model even if out of warranty.

Eveyone is facing the same issue, we should wait until they release a fix. If not Samsung can't escape from the mess.The problem is not hardware, it's a software issue, don't listen to service centre

Hi

The issue is solved by the latest firmware released by Samsung yesterday. Those who are able to use Odin they can flash themselves. Others can take the help of service person. You can download the firmware from sammobile site or using samFirm tool. At last relief for a two day long tension

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) ?
