No I don't think you can just release the USMLE step 2 at least from ERAS. Just release the COMLEX scores. They can convert your above average comlex scores to the equivilent USMLE.
 
I am a D.O. student and I only took USMLE Step 2 (due to poor planning, I never took step 1). I waited until I got the results and then submitted them on ERAS. I actually did fairly well and many programs often commented on my scores. Not one place asked my why I didn't take step 1. My point is take the test, and if you do well submit your scores and just forget about your step 1 scores.

due to personel reasons my comlexI score are bad but I didn't care then because I thought I would eventually take usmleI but I haven't got around to do it yet and I'm affraid I won't. so I was thinking to just take usmleII and comlexII, would that redeem my comlexI or i should try to take usmleI??
thank you

Yup, you just cannot take step 3 without passing steps 1 and 2 first.
