Any way to update my android version?

Yesterday I had to do a hard reset, my phone was rooted before. My android version is KitKat 4.4.2 and there should be an update to either Lollipop or Marshmallow. But if I go to my settings and hit "update now" NOTHING happens. The field isn't grey or something else - still nothing happens. Now comes my problem: My USB port is broken for over 1 year, so I can't upgrade my phone via PC by e.g. Kies or flashing a firmware. I won't repair my USB port because I won't have this phone in a few months. Back in time when Lollipop came out I upgraded it to Lollipop, but due problems with incompatibly of Xposed modules I had to downgrade my phone again. Now I don't see any way to update my phone. My only idea is to connect my phone with a software like Kies which can transfer files if PC and phone are connected in the same network. Is there a software like this out there or do you have a better idea? Maybe how to fix the "update now" button or any other way to trigger an update from my phone.
