Unlikely as the whole point of SE bringing out an 'a' version is due to the different 3G networks in use there meaning different hardware is needed in the phone. If you were able to simply flash it, I'm pretty sure you there wouldn't be this issue in the first place.

It also depends on the carrier.
T-Mobile USA's tech support stated that 3G "should" be possible with the w995 version when they told about the broadband specs (2100).
Haven't tried it to confirm it since I use Wifi, instead!
Don't know about ATT, though!
The w995a version, according to news reports, literally has different circuitry to make the phone more compatible with the phone networks in the Americas ("a" designation for N and S America).
