I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy SIII (i9300) to a newer version of android. After I had updated I noticed I cannot use 3G, SMS messaging or calls. I presume there is something wrong with the apn I'm assigned to so I searched up the correct o2 pay monthly apn, I found that the correct one is mabile.02.co.uk so I went to check that I was using that one but when I opened the 'Access Point Names' menu I found that there were tow mobile.02.co.uk apn's (Neither of these seem to work) does anyone know how to fix this? Because at the moment I cant use my phone as a phone.

It will remove root anyway and is the safest method of restoring your phone to stock.
Download MK6 from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ (type i9300oxa in the search box and MK6 is top of the list).
Then follow the Odin flash guide I wrote here http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Android-Devices-Samsung-HTC-Sony/HOW-TO-A-Guide-to-using-Odin/m-p/46346...

Did you hard reset the phone after the update?
You don't need the APNs to use calls and texts, it should connect to the network by itself.

there isnt a 'reset all user data' or similiar option on my bootloader. i can do stuff like wipe delvik cacha and format data but i presume i dont need to do that because wiping delvik cache shouldnt be nessacary

Does your IMEI start 00499 by any chance ?
If you have the option in your bootloader to wipe dalvik it means phone is rooted and I am guess you didn't know about this either?
