WireShark makes these pretty: http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/USB Have you tried contact cleaner? Put it someplace cold and dry for a few minutes? Check for damaged passives or cold solder joints? Using a general purpose NAND interface to read directly from the flash chip will not yield useful data unless you can resolve the block map. Datasheets for USB flash controllers are rare. A file carver may be your best bet, but don't expect much. For the price of a small house, there are labs that specialize in this sort of recovery. Sorry I don't have better news.
