I do have the right equipment, kynar wire, flux and a very small 0.5mm tip.
However those point are almost burned away, I can't even see them anymore.
When my phone fails I won't be able to flash it anymore without a working usb connection.

Aren't there any alternate points for data1 and data2?
Looks like you're burning them away with the soldering iron, with each attempt.

If you're super-careful and you have a mega-steady hand, http://www.kemtron.co.uk/e-shop/cond...-adhesive.html. I used to use it for repairing quartz watches when I was working as a watchmaker/repairer.
Saves any further heat damage.
