Samsung Galaxy SIII APN problems

Anonymous
Not applicable

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's not looking good so far.
What root method did you use?

Yes, that was a long time ago - Any particular reason that you need root?

Flash MK6 with Odin.
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...
