So I am trying to do the rgh and I was soldering and destroyed 2 pads is there anyway i can fix this. I also couldn't write original nand and then It worked with jrunner but then I got solid red light and now I cant even write or erase the nand with jrunner and nand pro. I posted pics of the pads

Send that along to someone who has alot of experience soldering. You have scratched two resistors off the board, along with two solder pads.

That is fixable, but its not an easy job. Leave it to the pro's that fix this stuff for a living. Without the proper tools and knowledge, you will severely destroy the board attempting to fix it.

Ive learnt this the hard way on a brand new SLIM 360. soldered a few pins together on the nand installing a dual nand(one small lapse in concentration was all it took). Instead of lifting the nand or using desoldering braid (had none at the time) i tried resoldering each pin to move the older around.

Spent 3 days trying to fix my mistake before giving up. Although it was pretty much a goner anyway. It could have been fixed without too much trouble had i left it and waited til i had stocked the proper tools again.

Looks like the perfect xbox for an xd card mod =) no more onboard nand for this one.
