there is a flashing key its holding "u" while the device is booting from a cold boot (taking out the battery)

however there isnt much you can to do without the usb port (as its needed for flashing)

you could try to resolder the connector

or use the usb connector behind the battery (careful as this port has no current protection)

after you get a port working you could try to just flash the kernel see the wiki for the instructions on using the flasher

Good Luck!

take out the battery put it back in then start while holding "u" on the keyboard

you take it out to make sure its not half way though a boot up but if your usb port is broken it wont really help
