Hi I have a Canada Rogers R800a running R800i firmware bootloader unlocked with doomloards kernel on AT&T USA network and was wondering if when someone releases the official R800at firmware will I be able to flash it to my R800a because some of the stock apps I can use like the uverse app.
Thanks,

Honestly, it's anyone's guess, but it's likely as long as you are able to unlock the bootloader.
how did you do it
i was on the idea that the bootloader of the r800a from rogers was not unlockable du to rogers decision to this day i dint manage to unlocked it and i flash a lot of phone like the nexus i cant put my xperia in fastboot mode
If and when the r800at firmware is made into a .ftf, it's very likely you will be able to use it on your r800a because they're both GSM. It's hard to know if all the stock apps will work correctly since some may have problematic DRM though
Well, it's available. I'm running the R800a 2.3.4 FW on my R800at so I'm pretty sure you can run the R800at FW on the R800a. The thing is, you will be giving up a lot of extra features (screenshot, tethering, etc).

I am using a R800at on T-Mobile, stock (though it is sim unlocked). If AT&T actually ever releases any updates for the R800at, will I be able to get those OTA or will I have to use PC Companion or SEUS? If I did have to use one of those programs with a PC, will it keep my apps/settings, or will it wipe everything during the update process? Thanks!
Hi, i've recently bought a xperia play r800a unlocked, i had some android phones before so i want to know how to rOot this phone, and see if there's a custom room for this model, but i cant seem to find a specific guide or custom roms for my phone, it is locked? r800x rooms can be used for this model? is ther any guide for flashing this model?
Thanks
R800x is the CDMA play. You want to look for any gsm roms (r800a/at/i) such as dark forest. Is the bootloader unlocked? To find out the *#*#7378423#*#* in your dialed then go to service info -> configuration. If it says bootloader unclock yes then u can unlock it via the official sony method otherwise you have to pay someone on the forums (there's only a couple people that do it) to do the unlocking process. Once the bootloader is unlocked you have the ability to install kernels and other non stock based roms.
Tons of posts in the dev section and q&a just gotta search.
Thanks for your answer! i've checked and it says Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes, i have one more question, custom r800i rooms on my r800a may affect 3g/hspa connection? will only work with edge?
No they won't affect any 3g just have to put the apn settings in manually for your carrier

Sorry for being repetitive, but the r800i firmware does not change the 3g frequencies? in my country only works 850mhz and r800i works on 900, 2100...
not a question about how to flash but trying to figure out the difference before i flash to the other firmware.
alright so lt28at with at&t has lte and before the lt28i was the lt28h without lte. my questions are:
1) does the lt28i firmware have lte support for at&t? if so, do i have to like copy the apn from my lt28at and apply it to lt28i firmware?
2) what are the differences between the lt28at and lt28i firmware other than the at&t bloatware?

LT28at has LTE
LT28i has LTE
LT28h does not have LTE
LT28i is generic unbranded firmware (unless you get the Rogers firmware) that does not have any carrier bloatware on it.
If you flash the LT28i firmware on an LT28at device with AT&T service you will have to manually input the LTE apn once the phone is flashed. APN can be found on the ion wiki page.

Apologies for noob question in advance if this is already answered, but I searched and didn't found the answer.
Is there any difference between LT28at and LT28i except AT&T bloatware. Also my bootloader is locked, can I still flash it successfully to LT28i without causing any hard brick. Soft brick as I understand can be recovered.

Main difference that it is unbranded. Might be some other small differences but they aren't noticeable.
Yes you can flash the lt28i firmware without issue.

Unlock LT28at
Good Day, i have a sony xperia ion LT28at which is locked to at&t.
1) Please if i flash LT28i firmware into my LT28at device, will i be able to use any sim on it that way after flashing it apart from the at&t alone which i was using on it.
2) Am finding it difficult to unlock it, i got code from at&t and also bought code online from sites which when i got the codes they were the same i got from these different sources but when i insert the code in the phone when it prompts for the code. after entering it & i click unlock, it tells me it could not be unlocked. I have contacted at&t and they keep saying they are sure its the correct unlock code. Please anyway forward on this.
Thanks alot

1. No flashing a firmware will not allow you to use a different carrier. You have to sim unlock it first.
2. Not sure what to tell you about that. I got the code from att and it worked fine for me.

I plan on getting the AT&T version, and wanted to know if I should get the R800 or R800a. Does it matter which one I get, if I want to root it, and flash new ROM's to it?
Want to make sure I get the most compatible model for flashing new ROM's.
best one to get is r800i then r800a and lastly r800x which is cdma
