I need to use openright only at front matter. Using

\documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{book}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\chapter{First Chapter at front matter}  % This must be page i
\chapter{Second Chapter at front matter}  % This must be page iii
\mainmatter
\chapter{First Chapter at main matter}  % This must be page 1
\chapter{Second Chapter at main matter}  % This must be page 2
\end{document}

I got openright in all document and using

\documentclass[12pt, letterpaper, oneside]{book}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\chapter{First Chapter at front matter}  % This must be page i
\chapter{Second Chapter at front matter}  % This must be page iii
\mainmatter
\chapter{First Chapter at main matter}  % This must be page 1
\chapter{Second Chapter at main matter}  % This must be page 2
\end{document}

I got openany in all the document.

Add this after \frontmatter:

\makeatletter
\@openrightfalse
\makeatother

Code:

\documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{book}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\chapter{First Chapter at front matter}  % This must be page i
\chapter{Second Chapter at front matter}  % This must be page iii
\makeatletter
\@openrightfalse
\makeatother
\mainmatter
\chapter{First Chapter at main matter}  % This must be page 1
\chapter{Second Chapter at main matter}  % This must be page 2
\end{document}
