[SOLVED] Are W350a and W350i the same firmware?

[evanjc]

Do they share the same firmware?
BTW, I've seen from some place they have different bands. One is 900/1800/1900, and the other is 850/1800/1900.
Can anyone helps to clarify?:confused:

a= America

i= International

I recomend you the "i"

Mine is W350a. Do you mean there won't be any problem if I used the W350i firmware? Thank you very much!

Are these the right files I can use?
W350_R11CA002_FS_TAIWAN_RED53,
W350_R11CA002_MAIN_TAIWAN_JH_RED53, and
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_105_R11A_GENERIC_TAIWAN?

Connect your phone to xs++ and copy here your phones log without IMEI number.
It depends which language do you want to have on your phone.

Have a nice day

I followed Flashing with jdflasher to upgrade my W350a (AT&T) and got an error:
