I have an Audiovox PPC4100 and i need to flash it, but the port on the bottom is broke so i cant connect to activesync via usb port. I was wondering if there was any other way i can flash it?

I dont think there is.... All the ROM flashes I have ever seen involve the unit resetting into a "Ready For Re-Flashing" mode during which you cant use the phone at all, so dont see how you could activate the ROM upgrade from a storage card.

Current: iPhone 4

Past: iPhone 3G, iPhone, HTC TyTn II, HTC Touch, Nokia N95, Motorola Z8, Qtek 8500, T-Mobile MDA Vario, SonyEricsson W900i, SPV C550, SonyEricsson K750i, Nokia 9300, I-Mate Jam, C500, Moto V600, SonyEricsson P900, P800, Treo 600, SPV e200, Nokia 1100, Nokia 6230, SonyEricsson K700i, T610, Nokia 7650, SonyEricsson T68, T29, Moto T250, Nokia 8310, Samsung A100, SPV Classic, Moto V50, Nokia 7110, Vodafone EuroTel

Short Answer: No, definately, 100% not.

Long Answer: It needs a hardware connection to the device (like a USB cable or cradle) to perform the re-flash because the device is wiped clean during the process. If its wiped clean, the drivers for your WiFi card are wiped as well, thus causing it not to operate, thus meaning your re-flash of the ROM will fail.
