I was soldering my wire to my raspberry pi 0, and it popped off! I'm not sure what to do. And, I know how to solder (But thats beside the point.)

Try to remove solder mask from this part and get connection from it that’s hard but there’s no other option in my knowldge.

I have a VERY similar problem! The same exact pad on my board is bridged to ground, but I can't see how. Can anyone assist? Possibly with a gpio bypass method or something similar?

Take a picture of the area and show us, likely there is a bridge to the usb socket anchor points.

I removed the usb port because I believed that I may have dripped some solder through one of the mounting points, but I've cleaned it up as best I could and can't find the short anywhere. I'm really scratching my head over this. Thank you for your reply.

Look where I drew the lines, looks like a GND trace is going to one of the data pins unless I'm mistaken. Either way just make sure all of those pins are isolated from everything so there is nothing touching.
