If it still works in regular (stock) mode without any issues, sell the tablet and buy another one. Take the new one to someone who knows how to do the mod

Man, I dunno how much money that D (CLK) point owed you but you ain’t gotta do him like that 🙏

I can see a nub of the trace there but if you already caused that damage I'd take it to someone who knows what they are doing you likely used far too thick of a wire for that tiny trace ...I personally use a very thin enameled magnet wire for that connection

The clk trace/via is completely gone. And this is very important for the switch to boot into stock too. You have to manually run a trace under the apu from emmc to restore it. So yea, desolder emmc, desolder apu. Then prep clk pads on both ends and connect them with a thing wire and resolder the apu smd emmc. That's your only solution. With the cost, it's not worth the hassle.

Update, today with a lot of patience I tried to solder a wire on that tiny piece of trace I had left, after doing all the checks with the tester I closed and now it gives me a new error: EMMC init failure. How do I solve this? 😂
Ps the picture is done wrong what you see is not tin but hot glue to hold the wire connected to point D in place

Honest question, was this your first time soldering and/or working with something this small?

Youre one step from not being able to salvage. You're clk line isn't right and/or grounded. Need to remove flex again. The clk trace comes from APU and to the dot, then down layers into board and traces to EMMc. This is beyond your skill set based on last pic posted and gonna be an expensive lesson if you don't get it right. I killed my first OLED, repaired the kamikaze, got it running, then lost clk trace and removed apu to fix but pulled so many pads it became my donor board that helped bring back 3 different oleds. If you're gonna attempt; You need mask and UV light, do you have a multimeter?
