I wanted to share my experience on getting UMA to work on a non rogers branded blackberry, partularly the 8900 Curve.
i found alot of help on the usual forums blackberryforums.com and crackberry.com.
you need to get to the escreen of your phone. you do this by pushing the alt + caps + h keys all at once. You will see a screen called Help Me!
Using your computer go to:
http://absolous.wavegap.com/projects/escreen/
–update on above link… seems that BB is cracking down on these generators. I was lucky to find another one on a blog.

Enter the information from your blackberry on the computer EXACTLY as it appears.
Once you get the unlock code, enter it on your phone, remember to use the alt button to enter the code.
I am pretty much fast tracking this how to as lots of info is mentioned on the aforementioned sites.
The settings once youre in the right screen>
mobile network engineering screens/utilities/session manager,
“UMA options”. Create a new setting and enter the following:
Display name: Factory Provisioning
Operator name: Rogers
UMA protocol version UMA v. 1.0.4
Provisioning UNC address: hbsc.uma.rogers.com
Provisioning UNC port: 14001
Provisioning SEGW address: segw.uma.rogers.com
SEGW certificate: ca.rogers.com
you need to pick a certificate which for Rogers, is ca.rogers.com. I had a tough time trying to find this, so I will share this with you upon request on this blog, just send me a msg/comment.
If you have any questions, feel free to comment on my blog and I will reply asap.
**UPDATE: since I have been unable to send the ca cert to the folks that have requested it, I am linking to it here.
download ca.rogers.com
please be sure to leave me a quick comment and let me know how you made out.
