Flashing a "a" firmware on a "i" device won't change hardware...
You need the "a" hardware to get the other 3G frequencies.

So what your telling me is I have no choice but to send it back ?

If you want 3G you need a LT18a for America, so yes.

And this is for certain ?

Have a look at page 7 in this document and you'll see that the a-version and the i-dito support different networks.

If your operator doesn't support the ones listed for the i-version it will unfortuantely not work.

International one x question

U guys can beat me up for this, for asking such a returd question.
Will the International gsm unlocked version work on Verizons network? Since verizon provides micro SIM cards?

One X also uses micro sim only so it should work without any problems as its unlocked.

I hope it will.

No. It will not work. Verizon uses sim cards as their LTE network is based on GSM BUT, they are a CDMA carrier.
To clarify: those sim cards are for their LTE network...but Verizon is primarily a CDMA carrier. The hardware on the One X is incompatible.

Are you.sure and has anyone tried it

Babydoll is right, at best you might be able to get data if their LTE network is based on GSM but no cell/txt/mms and that is at best. It is quite probable that none of it will work.
CDMA != GSM

nope

Will this phone work in the UK?

Will the i747m work in the UK on the 3G network ? after network unlocked ofcourse.
(specifically on 3 mobile network)?

Should I'd assume since it's quad band.
