[Q] Root Galaxy S2 At&t without computer

Hi ,
My galaxy S2 is have a problem .... whenever i connect it to a power out / computer the power supply starts fluctuating because of which i cannot use my usb port on my phone to charge so i take out the batter and charge it with an external charger.
Is there any way i can root my phone without connecting it to my computer ?
And one more thing is there anyway i can get my USB port to work ?
I bought this phone when i was in USA but after i shifted back to India this problem started occurring.
The service center people cannot repair or replace it as its the USA version and not the International version.Some parts of International version are not compatible with this US version according to the service center guys.They also said that its IC is short circuited but i think when IC is short circuited the phone does not give display but its working all fine.
Please help me with these 2 things -
1.Rooting my phone without connecting to PC
2.Getting my phones USB port back to work
I'm guessing your USB port has a problem check out this thread
in my case the phones not charging.....
The phone reboots when the charger is connected
The answer to your question is no. Unless I've completely overlooked something.
You will need a good usb port to be able to root the phone. There have been a couple of people who have reported that they successfully replaced their own usb port, and say it is relatively simple to do. It may take a while to get a replacement port, but since the part is small, shipping to India should not be prohibitive. Replacing your own usb port seems to be the only practical fix for your problem.

where can i find a working USB port ?
Google it. Not being rude but damn...
If you have a question about when the next CD by your favorite artist comes out, you google it right? When you need to know where to find which site has the best price on that CD you google it, right?
Use that same logic here. You need a part, google it.
Also, eBay has been known to have items people want to sell that anyone can bid on. Knowing you need it shipped overseas, it would be good to make sure the seller will ship it to your location before buying it.
(Searching these forums will present you with the answer as to which part you need to look for)

[Q] Usb port misbehaving (faulty?), should I replace it?

Hi all.
I'll make it as short as possible:
My USB port is misbehaving.
Only charging is working at the moment, any connection to PC doen't work (with latest drivers).
ADB doesn't recognize the phone too, neither when on or in recovery.
Tried stock FW, latest stable CM and latest nigthly CM but same result.
I think this happened after going with the phone out to the snow and probably some water entered the usb port.
I really think it's a bad USBport and/or flex cable.
I have few questions:
1. I saw I can buy the connector only or the flex cable + connector. How can I know whether replacing only the connector will solve the problem?
How can I determine whether the problem is only in the connector or in the flex cable also or maybe even worse (motherboard or something)?
2. Does it matter where to buy the parts from? I don't live in the USA so i'll be ordering from ebay/dx probably.
3. Do you have any other tips/suggestions? Am I in the right direction at least?
Thanks a lot!
Hoping for your kind help :fingers-crossed:
Just buy the whole bit from a trusted seller.And first read the threads by duguet and keithharross about usb ports.
Then youll know whats what.

Could you help? (I did find the other one)
KeithRoss39; has a guide in General section (do an advanced search of his username is easiest way to find it), has all the info you need.

The thread is this one. I have a port problem myself, and it sounds like this is so common they should probably sticky it. I'm actually thinking of trying to send a bunch of "my usb/flex broke" links to the repair center to show them how often the issue comes up (but then again, they probably already know that :-/)

[Q] BST Dongle for Samsung and most Android devices

Hi,
Some of you might remember me asking in the forum to solve the IMEI problem on a Galaxy S3 NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK.
I was not able to solve the problem even though I tired the impossible.
I came across a YouTube video repairing IMEI using a software and a piece of hardware and I was very impressed what this tool can do!!
So, I decided to buy it which had cost me 100$, but even though if it didn't help me solve my problem, I will most certainly need it in the future for ton of things.
It's called BST Dongle.

Now, I saw some videos on YouTube but I can’t see how do you connect the UART r523k
I have that cable and I connect it to that piece of hardware which has 4 ports.
1 port service cable and 1 port USB OUT (I put the UART R523K there and I connected the other end to my phone)
1 port USB IN 1 PORT USB OUT, What do I put there?!!
Please I need help.

freezes and crashes

Hello,
I have a Galaxy S3 that I use for trying different ROMs. It does suffer though from freezes and depending on ROMs from crashes likes apps or even launchers.
I don’t have this problem with an old Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010 also from 2012.
I just found that, could bad sectors be the source of my problems ? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...em-freezes-without-wiping-the-device.2566208/
Could the problem also come from bad partition ?
The motherboard just got replaced in a shop as the USB port did not work for years. The motherboard was a second hand one though. Could the problem come from that ?
Is there any way to know whether I could have a hardware problem before trying all sort of software fixes ?
Thanks in advance for answers.
