You have likely overloaded the pins on the chip and it will physically need to be replaced or "piggy-backed". You need to be sure to not put more than 3.6v on any pin of that chip or inline with anything in that circuit really.

Ok the chip was gone(burnt) i found out after i unsolder it and tried to read it outside the box, lesson learnt - never trust rasperry's voltage to much, and always chceck with multimeter first:) anyways i bought new identical chip in a local shop for 20PLN thats like 4$ (pretty cheap). I downloaded the dump file of some russian website, and i found out it is much easier to look for a dump by the logic board number insted the emc nr. (i attached the file in this post) i flashed the chip with rasppery (with resistors - this time:P) and boom. Mac works like new:) hope you guys will make it to, if you have any questions, write, i will gladly help if you do to in different topics:) ... Jungle is Massive :)
