Bring it back to them. If the update caused hardware damage, it's their liability legally. They broke your phone, they have to replace it with an equivalent or better. (IOW, they can't tell you that they no longer have Note 3 so they can't replace it - if it gets to court a judge would tell them to replace it with a phone at least as good as the Note 3 - which would mean a Note 4. If they don't believe you, tell them to call corporate and speak to the legal department.)
Until the carriers force Google to revert back to a 27 year old update method that didn't allow for corruption, they'll have to eat corrupted updates. We have no influence with Google - the carriers do, and when it hurts them in the bottom line they do something about it.
