Uploading ringtone on LG 8700 Shine (Telus)

Alright, I'm starting a new thread on LG 8700 (Telus), as I couldn't find a thread that's specific to Telus Shine phone.

First of all, I'm gonna quote what Stealthbear wrote, since that got my bitim to work (the driver file seems universal for all Shine phones, regardless of the carrier)

Quote:
I figured it out, I can make any .mp3 file from my computer a ringtone on my Bell LG VX8700 via the data cable and using BitPim.

Tested on: Windows XP SP2

Steps:

1: Install LG VX8700 Driver, can be downloaded from http://rapidshare.com/files/30447632/Drivers.zip.html
Site Link: http://www.humpa.com/vzw/
*Note: Just run the setup.exe that you extract to install the drivers.

2: Download and Install BitPim
http://www.bitpim.org/#download
*Note: The LG drivers are required for BitPim to detect your phone
*Note: Your phone should NOT be in USB Mass Storage Mode when using BitPim
*Note: I had to close down and re-open BitPim twice, before my phone was actually detected after installing the drivers, this might have just been my machine

3: BitPim will now automatically detect your phone, but will have the wrong model number, change this by clicking the configuration button and select VX8700

4: Select View --> Filesystem in BitPim, then Filesystem will appear on the left pane, click it and then select the + next to the root folder

5: You should now have full access to your phones system files, browse to /brew/mod/10889/ringtones

6: Right click in the right pane for this directory, select add file, and add your .mp3 file

7: Click the send data to phone button in the top left

8: FINALLY reboot your phone and your newly added mp3 file will be available under Ringtones!


Note that Stealthbear says it worked on his Bell Shine, not Telus.

Depending on the carrier, Shine seems to have different directory for ringers (ie. the ringer directory differs from Telus Shine, Bell Shine, Rogers Shine, etc)

Following Stealthbear's instructions, I was able to upload ringer on my phone, yet it's gone once I turn off/on my phone.

My question is this: did anyone with Telus Shine phone manage to find the right directory to put the MP3s into?

All replies would be greatly appreciated.

PS I got my Shine from Telus couple of days ago, and they gave me a USB cable included in the box. Is Telus trying to give me ideas??
