So I have used off and on the R800x UK ROM 2.3.3 and really enjoy it. But I am trying to remember what was different abou that ROM that let r800x users use it.. as our is CDMA and that one was GSM or based off GSM..
Anyways....wonering if its jsut a baseband issue, is it possible to then flash UK 2.3.4 and just flash Verizon basebands...? I am sure I have it all wrong... whihc i why I am asking it here.

For whatever reason .145 (iirc) had a hidden bonus of liking R800x. None have since

The UK version has mediascape UI and timescape UI
Verizons 2.3.3 was vanilla gingerbread, I was told verizons 2.3.3 is pretty much a striped down version of the UK 2.3.3, of course with the added verizon bloatware

does it matter if i got r800a instead of r800i?
because every guide i see for this phone is for R800i and i have r800a if i use rom or root guides for the I version will it work on my version??
same question and...
can we flash a r800i firmware in our r800a? is there any difference between the firmwares (for example something doesn't work)?
ok r800a is North Amerca, but what does it mean for features?
They are both gsm phones and both the firmwares are made for gsm radio so they will work with no problem on either the r800a or r800i. I've got an r800a running r800i firmware it works perfectly. The features are pretty much the exact same the only real difference is in the bloatware
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Ya the only real difference between the two is that the r800a supports a very more frequencies than the r800i (namely the 3g used in North America)
I've just bought a R800a (live in americas...) and the SEUS and PCCompanion refuse to update the phone to 2.3.4
when i first used the phone it said there was an update, i was expecting to get the latest version but it installed the 2.3.3 android version.
as this is a brand new phone, i did not root or flash it yet. actually i bought it because my girlfriend's Xperia NEO updated to 2.3.4 like a charm, then i tough "oh, all xperias must be using the latest android before ICS goes out". :-\
does anyone have a r800i to confirm if it will upgrade to 2.3.4 using sony tools? thanks!
Can someone give me someone feedback on this subject?
If not lets try to find a friendly dev to help.
Any GSM rom will work fine on the AT&T phones.

I have a locked bootloader. Are all the stock kernels in the GSM roms the same? In other words does r800i rom and stock kernel work with r800at?

I am fellow 800at. Had phone for Bout a week. All gsm stock roms are safe to use on 800at. I'm on 800i 058 firmware with 036 baseband right now and doomkernel bootloader unlocked. But stock kernels are fine with locked bootloader. Battery seemed better on older firmware but I haven't tested long enough to be sure.
hello i have been looking through the forums and cant find an answer to this question, i have a play 4g from atnt with an unlocked boot loader and i was wondering if this will work with the official cyanogen mod firmware release and if so will i lose my 4g connectivity? thank you
Here is something for gsm/cdma but i have gsm stock cause some games dont work on nostock roms.

so i think that it should work
there is the kernel for cdma too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400127
so u can try but first make a backup
but the phone is a gsm phone wouldnt that cause major issues?
like I said I have gsm stock and i dont know if it works. U can try and if sth goes wrong than (4g wont work) use recovery backup to return to stock rom
in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294129&highlight=2+3+4+r800a are infos about roms for xplay an there is info:

It should be compatible because it's good for all GSM models, but I'm not sure about the whole 4g jazz.

(post #34), so possible is that without loosing 4g u cant change rom
Do not use a cdma rom you have a gsm phone. You can use any stock based GSM rom like darkforest rom with no game issues. Cm7 is great but the touchpads don't work on most games. I'm using darkforest rom also jokawild is another great rom no problems on xperia play at&t

Really? Nothing happens if I install something build from R800i or any other model?
And the GSM at the begin of the posts, dont gonna leave me without CDMA?
Thanks!
I don't think it matters. I used to have a stock r800at but I installed TrueAncestor v. 1.4b and it changed it to an r800i. I haven't seen any problems in the month I've used it!
Falsh the enhanced version of stock rom .58 and after flashing your r800a will become r800i. Then flash doom kernel through fastboot. Then search for any gingerbread rom and flash through CWM. Thats all.

Yep, they work perfectly in Latin America, just make sure to do a nandroid (full backup) and you should be fine, then you can test every ROM out there with a backup to rely on and roll back if necessary.
Hey guys. So I have a CDMA PLAY with root and unlocked boot loader and I am only using the UK ROM as because its the nicest, smoothest, loudest and most stable rom I've used. However, the rom is 2.3.3 and I just wanted to know if I can upgrade to the UK Version of 2.3.4. If I can please tell me how. Thanks in advance!

Actually, no, you can't. The uk version you're running is on a kernel that is compatible with gsm and cdma. If you tried to update/upgrade using anything other than something community-built, you will lose data, due to incompatibilities between gsm and cdma.
Sent from my Xperia Play R800x
Well, is there anything community built, for the UK version of 2.3.4? Because I'd really like to know. 2.3.4 has a lot more features for the UK ROM, so that's why I want it. ^_^;;;
