no service after 13.5.1

[arbatemam]

My phone has been essentially bricked by the 13.5.1 update (iPhone 7 A1778) At first I had everything but carrier service (I should have stayed with that) but after tec. support, sim card swapping and eventually wiping my phone to a new install I now have a phone that can't be setup as a new phone. The party line is that the upgrade caused a hardware problem and it's time for a new phone.
