USB-C port is broken - Any way to flash pie firmware on my stock Note 8?

[prodigyX]

I recently had my cracked display replaced on my Note 8 (that got squashed / crushed) and everything works fine except the USB-C port.

I'm running stock Oreo and have the Pie firmware downloaded but am wondering if there's any way I can actually flash it without using a cable??

I live in South Africa but I previously flashed XEF France N950FXXU3CRC1 Firmware to get Oreo. Is there a way to force an OTA Pie update? VPN?

Any help / suggestions would be appreciated - thanks!

I think there are a couple of .zip files floating about the firmware thread. Download one and install from your 'SD' card.

If not, you could maybe ask someone in the firmware thread to create a .zip file that you can then install from your SD card.

Alternatively, you could request a tutorial, to create a .zip, unfortunately I don't know how to do this, otherwise I would have posted it.

If the USB port is damaged then there is nothing you can do...
