the dat0 point is on the back of the motherboard (green wire to the left), so we can't tell from these pictures. But considering that the installer used the d/a/c flex cable he probably used a shitty dat0 adapter as well.
depends on your iron and your tip. Mine is at 380 when wicking motherboard and 330 when wicking emmc. The most important step is to mix the balls with low-melt solder first though, by creating a blob of low-melt on your solder tip and running it over the solder balls for a few seconds
the hell dude. you've had your temperature set way, way too high when wicking.
however, the pads that have fallen off aren't connected to anything, so it should still work.
you cannot put solder balls on the pcb - the stencil will not fit. you should clean the pads as evenly as possible, reball...

I certainly agree that it has a purpose and there are valid use cases. But they are far, far more narrow than most people seem to think. I've seen so many people go like "this thing will support menus and cfw and updates and blabla they just haven't added it yet" - no, the migswitch does not...
and with that, we are back to square one - the hype around this product is weird and undeserved and only exists because people keep parroting misinformation about it being a rainbow-shitting unicorn
So if you want to pirate with your migswitch you can:
- currently not play anything, since no complete dumps are available anywhere yet
- never use any online features again
- never download a game update again
- never download dlc again
- never play any game that wasn't released yet at the...
