Did you try this?
<CALL FOR STICKY>painless root for x10 in 5 seconds (TESTED ON MY X10i)
It states it works only by using the apk, if that is true the root would require the usb cable, you would only have to transfer the file, which can be done in many ways, dropbox, e-mail,...

Is it possible to flash back to Stock ROM without using SEUS?

Hi
I have a very annoying problem:
My phone no longer registers when I plugin the usb-cable. It doesn't ask whether to go into usb-mode nor does it display that usb debugging is on. It is only possible to charge it and not to sync data.
Therefore I'd like to flash it back to a stock rom so I can get it repaired under the warranty. And since SEUS can't find my phone when it is connected, I need to find another way to do so.
So is it possible?
have u tried flashtool yet?
its under the development section

Have you first tried the following :-
1) Different usb ports some laptops and desktops have front/side usb ports so try a rear one
2) Different usb cable (if its the charge/usb cable that came with the phone it could be damaged or the wires bent/cracked due to over use plugging into charge and then using it as a data cable
3) Different PC just incase something is wrong with your own (corrupt driver etc)
I would try these things before you start if it will connect but only charge I'm guessing that the cable is maby broken
you could also try staring the X10i in safe mode power off power on and soon as it vibrates hold the down part of the volume button and keep holding this down until the phone boots up
This will give you a pretty basic mode (safe mode) with stock applications running no market downloads etc and then try connecting your usb cable up see if it works then ... you could have a rogue application that uses the usb for sync function like a media player etc!?
Wow, rude much. I was offering a solution that worked for me when I was having an identical issue. Because I was able to charge, flash mode still worked. Also, as stated above, changing USB ports can help. No need to get snarky

JimmyX10 is right, however..
The phone is ONLY able to charge over USB.. No flashing capabilities so far..
I've tried SEUS and the flashtool..
I've also tried:
3 different USB cables (also tested okay on my Optimus X2)
3 different computers
And a bunch of different USB ports..
BUMP
Does anyone have any good ideas?
Yes you can flash your rom without PC....
1-hope ur fone is rooted
2-xRecovery installed
3-Search dev section for stock rom xRecovery installation or request to upload the same for U..
4-transfer the xrecovery .zip file to ur card by card reader.
5-flash it through xRecovery...
I believe it will solve ur prob....
Try this guide:

i think theres no problem as long as you got your phone rooted and have the stock rom stored in your computer. then you can transfer the rom to your phone via an sd card reader. lastly install it using xrecovery. problem solved

[Q]X10i Broken USB port, how to update to 2.1

Hi there, got xperia with broken? USB port - when plugged in to charger it charges (but doesn't show it's charging), when pluggen in to PC nothing happens (there must be a popup or notification in notification bar like i have on x8?)
the phone is really great, but it has only droid 1.6.
So is there any possibility to run update to at least 2.1 only from SD? not using the USB connection?
I have tried installing zdzihu's tool, but the phone says "cannot install application xRecovery Installer on this phone". Root made by Universal Androot and BusyBox installed in /system/bin/.
Hi,
you can do this in 2 ways.
1:
Use SEUS. Download the New 2.1. Version. Turn your Phone off. Flash your Phone with SEUS
2:
Use Flashtool and flash a custum or genric ROM

I had the same problem. I used the 2nd way
Here a guide how to flash your Phone:

really great, but PC doesn't find xperia when plugged in... so it didn't solve my problem.
use in settings the ota with wifi to update the Phone.
If the micrusb is not working, you should get that fixed 1st.
With phone rooted, busybox installed use xrecovery.apk from the official thread to install it.
Choose a nice firmware to install.

Cześć katorznik.
Got the same problem yesterday, bought on allegro like a new. I used it for 4 months, everything was perfect. Suddenly USB stopped working. It charges via charger but extremely slowly, via PC nothing happens. The biggest crap I have ever seen in a cell phone that class. :/ Of course I don't have warranty. Did they (service) explained why they cancelled your waranty? Did it happended suddenly or it was already in that condition when you received it? Have you dropped it on the ground etc? Any reasonable explanation?
It is propably impossible to update ypur phone OS without working USB transmission. Phone must be run into service mode first, than you can update basband (from what I know and I think I know much, this can be done only by USB cable) required for newer roms. After that and phone being rooted you can flash newer roms directly from SD. I'm "lucky" 'couse I managed to update baseband to .1.54 and Froyo just before that crap stopped working. Ehhhh.....
It's a physical damage, u r f****d..

U also cant update to 2.3 with broken usb and for 2.3 u need .71 baseband and latest kernel for which u have to flash them through computer using usb cable...
So,..as they said before,the best way is to fix the port to save time....actually it's the best u can do..u won't have to take off battery and SD every time u want to get some music from PC

Sorry really off topic but you dont need to do that anyway, i just use wifi browser and send rar files to my fone using my internet browser then unpack them on my fone

I don't have warranty, that's the problem. And I was in 2 service points, both said that it is impossible to repair my USB :-(
It's not a problem for me to use card reader/wifi/bluetooth to transfer files phone-pc or pc-phone. Problem for me is that without working USB I can’t update from 2.1.1 to 2.3. In fact, I can’t do anything that is needed to update to stock or custom (uptade, root, recovery mode, etc.)… :-(

[Q] Broken usb, how to root?

Hi Guys
Just got a used Galaxy S2 but the usb is broken, it wont chrage nor onnect to a PC. I knew this before hand so its al good but i was trying to root using a method on these forums by rebooting into recovery and installing busybox and CWM but when ii go to do that in recovery, go to external sd,there are no files.
Im slightly stuck, not sure how to root without usb access. Phone has gingerbread 2.3.3.
Any help is appreciated

Transfer the file to your sd card through your wi-fi connection and then just follow the steps on that guide.
Oh and yeah, you might wanna upgrade to ICS (get an ota update if usb is not working)
I'd suggest other methods to root GB but nothing comes to my mind if your usb is screwed.
