I pretty much follewed DARKFiB3R's guide and XJonnyGunsX's video guide.

I followed the DARKFiB3R's guide without problems till "Retrieve your CPU Key". I tried to boot my xbox but there's nothing on the screen. The red light of coolrunner is working and the green light flashes every 5-10 seconds after 4-6 flashes i get 3 flashing red rings and the green light (not the coolrunners but front of xbox) also flashes.

I checked http://forums.team-xecuter.com/showthread.php?t=77908 only point 1 and 3 isn't correct. I got 0V there. This shouldn't be the problem right because I could read the NAND and also didn't get any bad block etc.

I tried to check my soldering again and the yellow wire on the backside of the board was a bit loose. I tried to solder it again, but it was really difficult... it was totally flat and I couldn't get the tin to stick on it... I finally managed to solder it but I don't know if it's correct. Can I check every solder point with the multimeter and what values (volt, ohm) should it be?

Also I'm not 100% sure this part "Create your XeLL/ECC Glitch image" was succesfull. The third image of this part was a bit different from mine. I thought mine failed but I got the Image_00000000.ecc. Don't have the screenshot so I can't remember what is was. I tried to do this part over but I can't get Image_00000000.ecc, I think it's because I already have done this, right?

Any ideas how to fix this?

The CPU_PLL_BYPASS looks a little long and it might be bridging. I would also use some isopropyl alcohol and an old toothbrush to clean up around the QSBs. They look pretty nasty and might have some solder splashes causing an issue.

You can also use a multimeter to check for continuity around your solder points (make sure your unplugged and dry before plugging back in). Look here at these pics so you can see where there are traces and where there are not. You of course will have continuity where there are and shouldn't where there isn't. :)

CPU_PLL_BYPASS is the green wire, right? I checked it, it isn't touching other components. I will add more picture tomorrow from other angles. I'll try too clean the nasty spots around the QSB, pics will be added the aswell ;)
I think you copied the wrong link, could you post it again. I really want to check every solder point because this is was my first time soldering.

What is the secondary code? If it is 0022 it is most likely a bad NAND flash.
How do I check what my secondary code is? This is my first RGH so I'm not very familiar with these terms etc :(

I read the NAND 2 times both was 03FF I compared them and no differences was found just like in the guide. I didn't get any bad blocks.

So I followed the guide using 360 multi builder etc. I got the Image_00000000.ecc. BTW is there a way to check if this file is correct. I have a feeling something went wrong here. I did select Zephyr, got the warning and continued just as in the guide. But then my multi builder showed other stuff, it wasn't 100% the same as the image in the guide. So I though I messed up the soldering, I checked if it saved the ecc file and it did.

I then flashed the file to the nand like in the guide. I got the same code 004F.

I also programmed the coolrunner without any problems.

So does this mean I can rule out a bad NAND flash?

I'm pretty sure I choose option 6 which is Zephyr, but is there a way to create another image? I tried to do it again but it won't create an image.

when building your nand option 6 is for zephyr then next option is for your glitch hack image that has a choice of cb. Zephyrs have cb options 4578/or4579

There was no other options to choose from. After I selected 6 and hit enter, I got the warning about missing cpukey and I just continued. I should have made a screenshot of the next step but I forgot...
When I try to build an image again I get:
* found flash image, unpacking...
ECC'ed - will unecc.
Found 2BL (build 4571) at 00008000
Found 4BL (build 8453) at 0000f3e0
Found 15BL (build 65535) at 000153e0
Druk op een toets om door te gaan. . .
And it won't create an image...

did you take the old .ecc image out of the folder its created in before trying to make a new one
Okay i tried it again it seems to work now, but what is the warning i get:

After how many seconds do you get 0022? If you get it after approx. 5 seconds its probably your soldering. Especially CPU_RST/CPU PLL_BYPASS points
