How to bring S2 back to stock without using USB/PC cable? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I got Cyanogen installed on my phone, but I need to send it to service (its still on warranty) because USB port is broken.
Is there a way to install stock firmware without using USB cable? I've got 2nd Galaxy S2, so I can charge up battery. And I can download ROM directly to phone, or just insert SD Card with it.
Thanks for answers.

Mobile Odin (By Chainfire) might do the trick.

[Q] Rooted SGSII with broken USB slot. How to unflash?

Hey guys,
I have got my SGSII for 2 months now. Rooted it and got CM7 on it. It was working fine for around 1 month. Then suddendly the car mode kept turning on and off, now it doesnt charge properly. I gotta re-introduce the the cable 10 times at least until it recognizes my phone and charges it.
My pc neither recognizes it, it just charges it. Now i wanted to unflash it and put the factory rom on it. I also wanted to get a jig to reset the counter and therefore get it repaired.
Now my problem is that my pc doesnt recognize the phone, and im also not sure if the jig will do its work if the USB slot doesnt work properly. What can I do now?
Thank for help guys.
anyone please?

I think you can use Mobile Odin (Google yoursekf) to flash Official ROM on the device without using USB. Then send your device to Samsung.
Mobile Odin flash stock rom removes root but will not reset custom rom counter .

Does the triangle away app reset the binary counter?
If so you could flash an ICS beta, use triangle away then use mobile Odin to flash back to gingerbread?

Flashing to stock - Without using odins

Hello,
Well I have a slight problem with my SII.
What happened is that my USB port on the bottom of my phone got slightly damaged. My phone will charge just fine via the port but it will not connect to the computer. Windows just says that it can't see the device (Yes, I have reinstalled the drivers, other SIIs work just fine, and my Note is fine too - I have also used a selection of cables) The phone also can't see the computer, all that is does is charge.
I am currently running a custom ROM which I will need to remove for when Samsung take my device away. Luckily I have CWM installed on my phone so I can flash it on the fly via that.
My question is, where can I get stock ROM which I can flash in CWM and get an insecure kernel in which I can just my home made JIG to get rid of the boot count...
Or is this impossible without using odins; in which case I guess I am screwed!

You can use Mobile Odin to flash stock firmware.

Thank you both - I am using Mobile odins. Thanks!!

Is possible install a custom ROM from stock recovery?

Hi, my S3 I9300 has brocken USB port, can charge but PC won't detect it and when I put it in Download mode Odin does not see it neither (PC does detect my S2 on sync and Download mode).
It has stock 4.1.2, unrooted, is there any method to install/upgrade to a different ROM via stock recovery? maybe a modded stock ROM to flash from the SDCard? maybe a modded OTA update ROM?
Thanks in advance

AFAIK you can't so you might wanna check your drivers to get the download mode working.

Hi, I've double check/install the drivers and cables, the PC Odin detects my S2 I727 and T989 but not this I9300 (tried Debugg ON and OFF), I think the I9300's USB port is broken, it can charge but not sync.
Accepting the possibility that your USB port is damaged, is there any reason you can't use mobile odin?

ROOT is required to use Mobile Odin!

If you can charge but not sync, then it's time to get the good news: get a new USB cable to work with and you'll be fine. I also had this problem and with a new cable, odin was able to recognize my sgs3. Good luck!

Any site to get a working cable? I tested Samsung U6 cable, Motorola cable and some other cables, all detect my S2 (T989, i727) but not this S3.(i9300).
So if it charges it must detect a S3 in download mode? or is possible that it does not detect download mode even if it charges?
have you tried different USB ports on pc, As well as different cables?
Go to service and change charging port module from your phone..

I had the same thing with my i9300 i.e. charging is fine however no sync and I detected it just 1 day after my warranty had expired. Anyway what I did was to clean the USB port to get it working back. Here's what I did, First remove the battery from the phone. Now put a fine awl pin in the USB port to remove all the lint from it. While putting it there make sure there is no/minimal contact of pin with the circuit (which act as USB jack) in the port.
Next i put some acetone on cotton and forced it inside usb port with the pin and make sort of wiping motion of cotton with pin to clean the circuit board. After that I take another piece of cotton and put WD40 on it and do the same thing as above. The Next thing, put the battery back and the USB port is working like a charm
Needless to say, if you do decide to follow my method for cleaning the port do it at your own risk. There is always the risk of damaging the phone further when you do such kind of things.
Thanks to all, the issue was: loosen port, port replaced now I got it rooted using the same PC with same USB cables I used for my S2.
Who invented this weak usb port???

USB Connection impossible.. how to flash now?

Hello people,
i got a small problem. I just bought a sm-g925F and be very happy with it so far. Well the problem is, that i can't connect to the phone via USB to flash another FW because 6.0 isnt aviable for switzerland (AUT) now. For those who think they maybe got a solution: impossible. I already tried everything in every forum. I tried different cables, different PCs, download mode, usb debugging, different drivers, manual set drivers, exit silent mode, wipe device, apply a new usb port on the device (im not that shure if they really did it).
Win 10 gave me a message, that its unable to get informations about the connected hardware. For me there are two solutions: 1. Hardware device of the device core PCB, 2. the Firmware is broken somehow.
ANYWAY i dont want a solution for that. Im just ask if its possible to flash another firmware for example via Wireless Lan oder an SD Card, connected to the S6 via USB adapter.
I am thankful for every reply
Kind regards
Same problem here, USB was working 100% then I got the 6.0.1 beta and now I can't get USB at all.. Are you on the beta?

Nope, i did a usual update to 5.1.1 when i got my phone.
if the device is still working...dial *#0808# and select MTP+ADB and try if u can flash the new FW you want to flash.
Mtp+adb was already selected
May i change these settings?
Get usb otg cable, and push firmware as adb or put zip rom on usb and browse the connected usb via otg in twrp

Hey guys i just got my S6 back!
I gave it to a samsung partner after some phones with the samsung service. They wasnt able to fix this problem. So i decided to give it away to repair it. It took 6 days(!!) whats amazingly fast and they installed a new main pcb, usb slot and another thing (dont know the part name) and it works fine now!
Thanks for all your help.
