Using UMA on a t-mobile branded curve 8900 on rogers sim

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:

–update on above link… seems that BB is cracking down on these generators. I was lucky to find another one on a blog.

hxxp://news.unlock-blackberry.com/how-to/get-mep-code-on-blackberry-without-cable-or-software/

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.

  1. I had to pinch myself when i read this entry! I’ve been searching hi and low for the rogers UMA certificates so i can enable my unlocked t-mobile 8520 to use talkspot (UMA) on the rogers network. Please please please send me the Rogers UMA Certificate and i will be forever grateful. THANK YOU

  3. I have sent out the certs to the peeps requested thus far. Please let me know how you make out. I assume people are trying to get the 9700 UMA going as this was recently discovered.

  4. Hi can I get a copy of that cert for Rogers? Im trying to get this setup on my unlocked Bell 9700 with a Rogers SIM. i hear it only works when on EDGE tho as there is no 3G to UMA handoff available yet.
