[Q] R800a running R800at fw?

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).

[Q] Regarding r800a

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...

Help Galaxy S II T-Mobile and Telus

What is the difference btw a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989 and Telus Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989?
What is the difference to unlock or to root?if rooted, can i flash the same ROM?
I think rooted means also unlocked. Am I right?
There is no difference between the phones aside from the Telus version having a "D" on the end, you can flash any rom from a T-989 to a T-989D and vice versa, Skyrocket roms are also compatible.
Rooted is not unlocked, unlocked refers to sim card security and so far there is no software unlock for our phones but they can be unlocked via the carrier.
This is the guide I used when i first rooted my phone, has instructions for the tmo version as well.

[Q] Which Model Should I Get?

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

You're not giving any phone info. You need to know the build, Firmware version, what carrier the phone is tied to..
As I went to T-Mobile and I'm running old 4.0.4 firmware. The article and how to was available online. Did you first try and get a release code from your carrier. Your phone being an S3 may already be unlocked.
