If you haven't gotten your Shine connected yet, follow this tutorial. It should be pretty much the same if you are in Windows.

Connect your phone and open up BitPim

Retrieve the filesystem:

Choose LGAPP - Media - Java - Cert - save the att.pol to your computer.

MAKE A BACK UP!

Open att.pol with a text editor.

Look for this line:“domain: C=US;O=Cingular Wireless, LLC;CN=Cingular Trusted Root CA”

Copy what is beneath it. It should look something like this:

domain: C=US;O=Cingular Wireless, LLC;CN=Cingular Trusted Root CA
allow: packet_data_access_http_https
allow: low_level_packet_data_access_1
allow: low_level_packet_data_access_2
allow: comm_connectivity_options
allow: local_connectivity
allow: all_app_autostart
allow: read_user_data
allow: write_user_data
allow: messaging
allow: sms_cell_broadcast
allow: multimedia_recording

Now, look for this header: “domain: untrusted”

domain: untrusted
oneshot: packet_data_access_http_https
oneshot: comm_connectivity_options
oneshot: local_connectivity
oneshot: low_level_packet_data_access_2

Remove the lines below the header and paste what you copied from “domain: C=US;O=Cingular Wireless, LLC;CN=Cingular Trusted Root CA”. So now you should have something that looks like this:

domain: untrusted
allow: packet_data_access_http_https
allow: low_level_packet_data_access_1
allow: low_level_packet_data_access_2
allow: comm_connectivity_options
allow: local_connectivity
allow: all_app_autostart
allow: read_user_data
allow: write_user_data
allow: messaging
allow: sms_cell_broadcast
allow: multimedia_recording

Save your file.

Go back to BitPim and right click on the background, select New File, choose your newly saved ATT.pol

Right click again and choose reboot phone.

Any programs currently on the phone that needs that allow access permission will have to be reinstalled for this to work.

First off download BitPim

Now, do this in your phone: Menu -> Settings –> Connections –> USB Connection Mode -> Data service:

Open terminal and type:(gksudo bitpim &) only without the parenthesis:

Click on View –> check mark "Filesystem":

Click on the icon "Edit Settings":

Now click on "Phone Wizard – Carriers: Verizon –> Manufacturers: LG –> Models:VX8700 –> Next":

under Port –> Auto:

Click Finish:

Click on Filesystem –> click on the arrow, it will feel like it is retrieving forever:

If done right you will see this:

Have fun!
