I was looking for the same solution, and I think it is possible, a closer look at the USB port from various spare parts suppliers, I was in doubt if mine would look the same as the one displayed here, after disassembling my phone, it turned out to be this one: http://bit.ly/1GR4SzP
And it is possible, when messuring connection points, it turns out CN2 on the bord is the +, and - you can fit onto the side of the USB connector itself.

I have created a Guide describing the addition of wireless charging, it is in no way affecting the phones stability.
