ok close the thread then martin il sort it out , if not il just wait til my new one comes and try it with a new one , it booted before how it is now with just dip 7 open , its only gone like this after soldering that wire , its soldered onto number 8 pin now on the IC , it boots on stock dash no problem , if i can get some pics up i will in the mean time lock it , tell you want il try and message you the pics
If its alright, I would like to see the R-JTAG board to see how that has been damaged and repaired, if there is not any serious damage such as ripped traces and solder bridges, I will sort something out as it was probably my bad advice that has caused the problem
no offence taken mate , you can close the thread if you like martin il sort it , if not i will just wait until i get new jtags in and try it with a new one , i booted before with just dip 7 on the way everything is now i havnt moved any soldering only soldered the blue wire to pin 8 on the IC and thats it , its only gone like this after i soldered the blue first to the c23 resistor

I have his R-JTAG PCB here with me, Martin and none of the IC pins were bridged.
I'm currently testing it on my Jasper to determine if the R-JTAG PCB is at fault (I've had a couple of boots from it, but it isn't looking good to be honest).
I have the same problem. I barley touch it with the soldering iron and it just popped off. I got it to boot off Pin 8, but The green LED doesn't light up anymore. Not sure if that's normal or if it's a problem with how it's set up.
-Edit-
Nvm. Turns out it just does that with the modded dash. It boots Xell perfectly.

Have you tried soldering with something other than a flamethrower?
Otherwise I call BS. I've installed hundreds of chips and have never lost a single pad.

Nice. As noob as I am, the only time I had a pad lift was when I was measuring to trim the STBY_CLK and pulled the trace. Not iron related.
Nope. Flamethrower's are best!~ The chip is scorched and covered in ash but it sure as hell worked! lol
On a serious note, I had it set to 20 watts but since the soldering job was sloppy, I tried to fix it. I think I set the temp to high without realizing and it popped off with the wire. But the good new's is that it still boots and works perfectly fine.
If you have any tutorials on how to solder correctly i'll take them. I'm noobish with soldering iron's and I need to figure out which damn tips i need. Also, any tutorials on fixing soldering pads would also be helpful.
