Redid the wiring, checked everything, wrote ecc, black screen with a solid green light again. Wires are routed accordingly. This is killing me...

kloenie: I had the exact same issue you did, saw your post and got to thinking about the coils.. My underside B,F-lines were ok, but my A-line was going between two coils, so i moved it about 1/2 inch to the right and now it works perfect!
Thanks for pointing this issue out, i wouldn't have thought about that otherwise..

For my case, Xlink is able to detect the cable but getting following error.

"360gcProg" is not detecting the cable. I would like to send it back. But before that, is there any way to check from  my end that the chip is bad?
