Unfortunately the usb debug dongle cables are hard to get and expensive. A more available alternative would be to use firescope if your laptop has firewire, because firewire cables are widely available. The kernel supports early firewire since some time too, so it can be even used for early debugging. Another advantage is that firescope can even get data from a dead kernel as long as the firewire hardware is not disabled.
