hmm , yes you can ( /me successful a not flaming TechnicalK )
basically the 1st question I need to ask you is are you on 2.1 or on 2.01 ?
2.1 needs vulenrable recovery flashed onto it , most 2.01 dont .
Depending on the f/w version... if you do need to flash it ( using rsdlite ) then yes you need the usb cable . (pretty easy to get and cheap especially on eBay)
Otherwise just grab GOT 's openrecovery and put it in sdcard then you can have lots of fun .
you def.ly need the pc to computer the required files you need to your sd card. once your files are on the card then you can root your phone with no pc needed, but again that's after you get the files on your phone...
You def.ly don't need the pc to do the root process if that's what you meant.

Nerver heard about the cellphone's browser.
As Dag said, if your phone is already vulnerable you can easily do everything you need w/o a pc.
Not sure if it works, and its not free like the DMUpdater was (really hoping they release a new version for free), but I got this from Droid-Life. (hope thats ok)
Im not going to post the link as I dont want to get in trouble, but its $.99 and I believe its on the market.
Look on site mentioned above, its on page 2 currently (or you can click the 'root' tab uptop on site to see older news)

Also, is the problem JUST the lack of a USB cable, or do you actually not have access to a computer? If it's the former, you can easily get the correct USB cable for less than $5 online. Just look for a microUSB cable.
And pardon my possible ignorance, but how are you charging the phone without a USB cable? If you have the stock Motorola charger, the USB cable should be detachable, and you can plug it into the computer using that cable.
Yes you can. There is an app in the market called EasyRoot. I havent used it myself, but have read reports of it working great.
Yes -- EasyRoot works great on a stock 2.1/2.2 Droid.
It uses a hotplug exploit nicely packaged in an APK.

I know that Easy Root does work on the Droid though (not sure about the Milestone).
Universal Androot works fine on Motorola Milestone 2.1-update1 !

since my first question went unanswered.
I will be specific.
is it possible to root galaxy s on 2.3.3 with faulty USB port.
also using 3e bootloader.
Vacant eanses
To root your phone you need to use odin, and for that you need to connect usb cable. so i'd say you can't root your phone without USB port.
P.S. I think I read something about one-click root somewhere. I have no idea about that.
no
i think no
only thing I found close is ginger break, but that does not work on my mobile for some reason. although its designed to jail break phones locally up with 2.3.3

Hello
My DS7 has a broken port (that plastic line right at the center of the port is chipped). It charges only if I insert the connector a bit crooked... but the device its not recognized by any computer. I've spent hours trying to do it with no luck.
I would like to root it and test some other roms. Is it going to be possible without being able to connect it to a computer? An SD method maybe?
Please help! I did search before posting this... couldn't find an answer.
Thanks!
Do you already have CWM installed? That basically answers your question.

Like TheManii said, if you already have CWM installed you should be in business, but the fact that you can't use the port for flashing is going to be hinderance if you ever need to NVFlash or adb anything. So I recommend to be VERY careful and do nothing without much thought
It's much, much worse to have a broken port on the S7 compared to the S5. As you can remove the S5's batt and charge externally.
Consider yourself lucky you can charge at all, otherwise it's already a dead device/motherboard.

Because ....duh....they are different devices?
so I guess there is nothing I can do right?
Pretty much all the stuff needed needs to be done via the cable. Now if you have 2.2 installed you can install Gingerbreak apk that will root it. Other than that, its sucks.
Well, some time has passed since I started this thread. I was wondering if maybe there could be a new solution for my problem?

First allow me to ask you this... do you know what root is, do you have any knowledge of adb commands, do you have the Android SDK and/or the Dell drivers on your computer and lastly do you understand the layout of the file system?
I can easily just type out the commands but I want you to understand the process
BUT I'm not sure this works... since you aren't rooted already I don't know if you can push files to the system folders

1) You should clarify the title. Something like "How to update to v28E without USB". Imagine every thread like "LG P990 question", it's absurd.
2) You should tell us if you want the vlite or the full version of v28E.
3) CWM 5.0 is not the latest.
4) Yes, it is possible, put everything in the sd card =P.
Good luck.
Hello, apologies for that.
Thank you for the fast response.
I would like to install the full version, I am aware that you need to specifically partition the ad, but I can read grains thread for that.
Can I just confirm then, that if there is a zip for the new downloader, cwm and Rom in one zip.
That can be run from cwm?

First -- In case you want to go full metal on P990, that means repartitioning, new BB and full flash, you need to flash. There is no other way than using NVFlash, as described in lovely thread in development by Stephan G.
Reasons - reformatting is not easily done from within phone which runs on these partitions, same goes for reflashing recovery from within recovery.
Second -- not sure why without USB?
Third -- there is CWM-possible way by using TonypAndHarsh's vlite V28E rom, yet this goes without new BB and with possibility of no call audio issue.
So, to repeat my answer to your main point, no. There is no way to fully install new system/BB without USB connection and PC. You have to flash it.
Hello. I think you can instal the new ICS without your usb cable.
1. you need to instal rom manager from PlayStore and flash from here the CWM recovery. I recomend you to instal the version 5.2.0
2. Make a nandroid backup before you do something to your actual rom.
3. Use titanium backup to backup all your apps and settings.
4. Put ICS rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959545 in your sd card (i think you have at leat a card reader and on adapter to put your microsd card) and follow the isntruction from the download page.
Good luck!

I'm sorry but I disagree with you... I think that anyone that thinks about the title for 2 seconds can understand that if the guy is asking if it's possible to flash v28e without USB of course he means the "full" stock ICS leak, the one which requires you to redo your partitions and whatnot... the one that is only possible through nvflash, thus, it is not possible to update to v28e without USB.
Or, you could just reply... hey, it's not possible to flash "the real deal", but you can flash tonyp's "lite" version, which uses the old bootloader and a patched kernel (thus some bugs might come from that) and all you need to do is put the files in the sd card...
I don't know why you had to be so "blunt"...

Thank you for that information, I am currently trying to find out if there is a way to install the right version of CWM, then try to install the new bootloader from within CWM? I am not even sure if that is possible.
I think she is just going to have to get her phone sent back, the only problem is the o2x is discontinued, I doubt they will replace it or fix it. They will probably try and replace it, but only give her something that I wouldn't consider a good replacement. But we'll have to speak to her insurance company first.
I have seen these phones selling on ebay, they are about £100 from what I can gather, it depends what she wants to do. Could buy a new one and sell her one, just a shame really, i found another thread about the USB problem and they had to send it back and get it repaired, must be either a problem with the connection or the board, I would think the board as it charges fine, which is really weird.
Anyway, thank you for you help, i will keep searching to see what i can find.

Just cause you didnt mention it before, but are you running a hacked version of ICS right now on the phone? If you are, it could be a matter of the ADP drivers on your computer? If it was a stupid idea sry. It was just something that pop'd into my head

Hi
I downloaded a stock Rom that had been modded.
So I could be sure that I would have cwm in case anything went wrong.
Rom loaded and was able to get into the secret menu.
I will say that under USB connection type there was misspelling where it said:
LG USB adnroid
Not sure if that would affect it.
I selected that item.
Then went to port.
Selected the different options in ordered and waited about 10 seconds on each turn, then pressed find any changes in device manager unplugged and plugged the USB.
Then tried in different orders but with not luck.
Took the battery out and tried holing the vol up down the plugging in USB but to no avail.
Then pressed power and vol down.
The phone tuned on and showed LG sign then switched off.
I tried pressing check any changes as the LG sign came on but nothing.
Then tried nvflash as the LG sign came on but nvflash showed no connection.
Very weird, definitely dead but still charges, doesn't make sense.
Oh well
Ordered an atrix with work and play kit for 68 quid, has a broken digitizer which will cost 20 pound, on average, off ebay.
Thanks for the help though.
May take the 2x apart when new phone comes and see if there's any physical damage on te board.

I bought my captivate from my friend(ONLY $26) and found out that the usb charging port doesn't work. Well that was all fine i could charge it with a separate battery charger so i bought this to charger it: http://www.cellphoneshop.net/i9000desktop.html?cagpspn=pla&gclid=CITOp6T2-rUCFaiiPAodEBYA9Q and it works perfect. Then I called At&t and they actually gave me the unlock code!
So my Captivate is:
-Froyo 2.2
-Unlocked on tmobile
-Can't use usb port.(So i cant sideload apps)
Also, i can still transfer files from my phone through i micro sd card reader. I have tried the update.zip but i keeps giving me a signature error.
SO is there a way to root my phone? and Is there a update.zip that works with the froyo 3e recovery? or is there one that can disable the signature verification?

Everything I've read suggests the only way to get root is with an update.zip and running it in recovery through "reinstall packages". I wonder if the error you're getting is because you aren't using a flashable zip that is compatible with Froyo. Unfortunately I'm far from Froyo and have no way of testing but I could suggest looking around for some other flashable root zips.

I believe that worked on 2.1 but in 2.2 they added the signature verification, therefor, update.zip doesn't work.
There seems to be another way to root but it's not 100% confirmed yet (through a app in the market). I'll try to look for it but otherwise, you'd need a working usb to root.

Perhaps it will work. Haven't seen it around in so long, kinda forgot about it. Never know
Eh, I can't see it making anything worse, then again I've never read the source code so I'm not sure what it changes. 2.3.5 somehow worked with miezu m9 root app but again, never read source so don't know why it works
Thanks for all the help!
I can't use z4root because it's not on the market so i would need to sideload it because At&t doesn't allow non market apps. And to side load i need a working usb port :c
My best chance would be to find a flash able zip that works with the 2.2 signature verification. :/
There's none that I know of....I didn't realize 2.2 had the non-market apps lock? That sucks. I know 2.3.5 didn't have it, (or at least mine, I had it second hand but I thought he flashed it to stock 2.3.5)...

Since you have root, you can always download the official TWRP app from the Google play store and then install recovery that way. But need bootloader unlocked.
