USB Port problems when rooted..how to unroot without USB port

Hello, so im a relative noob in the forums per say, by my post count, bt ive been stalking the xda forums since my HTC Touch Pro 2..Usually, with enough searching i can fix my problems on my own, bt I can't afford to break this fone..
Here is the story. (sry if im giving TMI) (THE ACTUAL QUESTION IS AT THE END. RELATIVE INFORMATION IS AS FOLLOWS)
I was content with my stock EL29 rom,bt I wanted to try the new ICS update. So, I manually updated to FF18 using this link:
http://android.clients.google.com/p...bbe3997e3067.SPH-D710_update_EL29_to_FF18.zip
I used QBKing's video's steps to update. Big shout out to him, btw.. So after i wanted to root to eventually flash a custom rom. So i rooted using sfhub's one click for FF18 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
Now, i few days of reading later, i decided to install the recovery to start installing custom roms. However, my fone got a bit wet a few days ago from a thunderstorm video recording adventure and I couldnt install the recovery.
I plugged in my fone and it wasnt recognized by any of my three computers at home. I uninstalled and re installed the samsung drivers numerous times. Keep in mind that I had previously used sfhub's one click sucessfully, so it is unlikely to be a computer problem.
So a few days later my fone starts telling me that im charging it (or its overvoltage) when its nt even plugged in. Now, it wont even turn off. it restarts as soon as it turns off.
-------------
So basically, I have come to the conclusion that I have a hardware usb port phone problem. Now, since its rooted,just with a stock FF18 rom, will Sprint give me problems if its an obvious hardware problems?
Is there a way to unroot without plugging it into my computer? Im thinking mobile ODIN,bt i heard it cant flash modems? would that be a problem if im from a rooted FF18 going to EL29? Or shud I just go back to stock unrooted FF18?Or shud I just take it to Sprint and hope they dont check the phone software wise?
I wud appreciate multiple opinions or even confirmations of other ppls ideas. Bt thanks for reading all this.. Hope I didnt put u guys to sleep
Thanks for all the help in advance guys...u guys rock..

Now, I haven't had this problem, but on my old moment, what I did was flash it back to an old version of Stock (say EL29 [on this phone use MobileODIN]), then try to apply the OTA update, or even download the OTA update files and place them on your SD card and try that way. Then you phone would look stock when you take it in, just make sure have a battery as full as possible.

thanks for the suggestion. I ended up bringing it to Sprint and as soon as I left my car, the power button stopped working for some reason.
They ended up focusing on that and ordered me a replacement phone. I guess since it was still on the stock rom, they didnt realize it was rooted.

Possible Return to stock via ODIN??

Ok, so I attempted to download a couple of roms from this site, used Odin to install TWRP recovery. Problem is every rom I attempt to download is hosted from an incredibly slow site, so it takes 3 hours to download a single rom. I would like to return to stock, BONE STOCK. I remember with my Sprint Epic 4G I was able to download a tar/pit file that had the original modem and rom in 2 files: a PIT file, and a TAR File. Using Odin to flash this would return my phone to factory/bone stock configuration getting rid of all recovery/root/ect. I would like to know if there is such a file for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S-2.
Anyone know?
My phone has been useless for the last 9 hours and every rom ive downloaded has not worked at all. (No Signal, No gapps, Not booting/black screen hang, ect)
I know I can download a similar app from HTC that will restore an HTC phone to stock settings, what about Samsung?
Also, does anyone know where I can download the latest ClockworkMod RECOVERY from so I can try to flash roms with that? I was thinking this TWRP recovery is the issue.
Thanks!

Have you read the stickies?
[HOWTO] ROOT, Install ClockworkMod Touch Recovery & get into Download Mode for newbie. It also has instructions for using Odin to get back to stock.
For the latest CWM...have you searched in the dev thread? Used Google/Bing?

I have read the stickies, in particular the one you attached. I also searched google (and bing, its still default on this pc) for the latest version of CWR, links I found are dead. Still didnt see anything in regards to what I asked specifically. Is there a way to restore, VIA ODIN, a STOCK ROM (PIT and TAR Files) similar to what was available with the older samsung Galaxy? I just downloaded the Jedi ROM and it actually booted with a signal, so Im giving it the "10 minutes" before I touch it. (Bummer everyone uses this wierd Dev Hosting site to host the files, download speeds of 37KB/sec are crazy slow with a 400+MB File).
I Thought about using Kies to restore to stock, not sure if thats even possible with a phone that has no rom installed since Ive never used Kies before. Guess I'll find out how well this rom works.

Im not trying to be a **** but you couldnt have searched. If you followed the link for an Odin file in the page I linked earlier, it would have led you to THIS page which has a working download link for stock Odin (Gingerbread).
If you would have Googled exactly what you want, the 2nd result would give you the ICS download.
And Google also returns the main page for CWM
Hope that helps.

I dont think your trying to be a **** at all so its all good, id tell anyone the same thing, I did do several searches searches, but sifting through 900+ pages in one of hundreds of threads is a little daunting...
Also the link I believe your referring to (http://www.technoxide.com/2012/11/galaxy-s2-jelly-bean-4.1.2-I9100XXLSJ-update.html) <<No 2 in google results for a Samsung i9100 SGS2, I downloaded that one, installed it, had a black screen after the samsung logo and the phone started getting very hot after I let it sit for 15 mins or so. Tried rebooting several times, same thing.. The model number for mine is a SGH-T989, are they the same? I tried that link and followed its instructions anyways, and like I said, no go...
Thanks tho man I do appreciate it, all is well with the Jedi Rom, seems to be working awesome without the bloat.. (Just took 3.5 hrs to download from that janky hosting site its on.)

Erm...the 2nd result was THIS thread, and partway down the page is THIS link listed as "T-Mobile SGH-T989_UVLI4 (Stock Odin ROM)" on the page.
Glad Jedi is working for you.
edit: oh. You dont have a T989 looks like you have an I9100? Might poke around the I9100 forum to find your Odin image.

[Q] help please. unroot toolkit? very scared haha

Ok guys I searched this forum for unrooting note 2 using toolkit but need some specific answers cause im not cpu literate. I want to unroot to install the new update. I went into toolkit and idk what options to pick after I got to a screen where it gave me 7 options. I searched n someone said options 5 n 6 were to unroot but I see option 7 is the only one that has anything about unrooting. I actually picked option 5 the first time I tried it n it pulled up odin n told me to choose twrp recovery and I didnt see that option in my files. It had already sent my phone into download mode . I didnt know what to do and I freaked out n unplugged my phone (stupid I know) but after unplugging it stayed into dlm. I took my battery out and luckily it didnt do any damage by that dumb move. So can someone please help me or walk me thru this. I know im probly leaving info out yall need but im still shaken up from what happened. My note 2 is my baby haha. Thanks guys.
Ps im stock rooted no custom roms or anything. Im on 4.1.2

Just use billard 412 back to stock unrooted Rom. Flash in recovery then use lorjays method to apply 4.3 update. All steps are explained in both threads.

[Q] s3 problem.

If im doing this wrong i apologize im new to this site completely. I need someone to guide me through Rooting, and flashing roms, and cwm to my s3. I use to flash Roms to my mesmerize constantly a couple years ago and was quite good for only doing it for a couple weeks but it has changed some plus ive forgotten quite alot. I am trying to put the new illusion 4.3 with cyanogenmod mod 3.4.56 with cwm 2.6.3.0 touch it starts up wonderfully and everything looks okay but i cannont get service the signal triangle is black and nothing i have tried will work. can someone lend me a hand?
I didnt see a uscellular thread so i came to the conclusion that there isnt one so i posted here. im sure that i havent followed the correct rules or whatever for xda i just know from previous times you guys know your stuff the best.

[Q] Help save my phone please!

I've been looking around this website and trying to fix my soft bricked at&t galaxy sgh i747(failed root) but there are multiple methods and it's extremely confusing. I've even lost all my data from a factory reset. I've tried to follow these instructions the most because no sd card is required (which I don't have) and it's the simplest:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
I downloaded the second cwm link but I can't seem to get it into into odin because none of the extensions are being recognized. I've been trying different methods for about 3 days now and nothing has worked. It took me hours just to get odin to recognize my sIII. Is this even the correct method to follow?
I just wanted to debloat all the crap those corporate parasites forced onto my device but it's not worth the headache. Please point me to the correct thread or whatever so this torture can end and i can be on my way. thank you so much.

BACKGROUND:
I don't have an SD CARD and the android version was 4.4.2 before the brick. i tried using kingo root which rooted the verizon version on my at&t phone and then I uninstalled some bloatware with an app and when I closed the app, the top bar started to flicker and then it closed. I have not found any posts with my situation and I'm beginning to think I'm SOL. Posts have told me that my phone cannot be downgraded because you can't use a lower android version and other posts say you need an SD card. I'm able to get to the download mode and factory reset page.
The phone even boots onto the home screen for the wizard guide, but when it gets to google services it says the wizard has stopped. I'm able to mess around with a few things like the settings/camera but there are no apps.
Will someone tell me if there is any hope. There are so many tutorials out there, but I have yet to find a clear one for my situation.

Properly the reason you bricked it was that you flashed something from this forum which is the international i9300 and any file here will not agree with your phone. You need to report your post and get it moved to the at&t forum where they might be able to help you.
