Answer 1

Use the below function and pass the index path of the selected row so that the particular cell is reloaded again.

- (void)reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:(NSArray *)indexPaths withRowAnimation:(UITableViewRowAnimation)animation

Another solution: store the selected row index and do a reload of tableview. Then in cellForRowAtIndexPath check for the selected row and change the accessory view of the cell.

    cell.titleLabel.text = addr.addressTitle;
    cell.detailLabel.text = addr.addressDetail;

        if (indexPath.row == selectedIndexPath) {
            [cell.selectButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"checkboxFilled"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        }
        else {
