I'm still getting the rc=-1 error message when i try to burn the
bootloader. Which might be because i fried the chip on the
motherboard. is there a way to check this?
What OS are you running? I have had some problems on Ubuntu, which required
me to run as root/sudo. Also make sure you use the correct (6 pins) cable. I
ran "sudo avrdude -c usbtiny -p m644p -U flash:w:ATmegaBOOT_644P.hex", which
burned the bootloader successfully. Maybe this helps?

Which bootloader hardware are you using and are you confident it is working?
It has been a while since this happened but when I tried to install my
bootloader my USBTinyISP would not work until I finally re-seated the CPU.

When you try to burn the bootloader, how is your machine connected to your
Bot? Are you using the Ladyada USBTinyISP or what type of cable are you
using?

Not sure if this helps, but make sure you connect using the correct cable
from USBTinyISP and that the cable is also assembled correctly (check the
page on the assembly page for the USBTiny; could be incorrect with respect
to cable and plugs) and that the cable is in the proper header in the
(reprap/makerbot) board. You should then also put in the jumper (provide
voltage to the board). Aso check if the board is soldered correctle (diodes
oriented ok, chips ok?) and the green LED turns on.
To test if the USBTiny works and you can communicate with the board, you can
use the "avrdude -c usbtiny -p m644p" command (also try to run it as root on
your mac) and check if the avrdude responds with something else then "rc
-1". Maybe the output you get also provides some info on what goes wrong ...

Yes I did. I don't think the problem is with the USB tinyisp. Because
the error message that I am getting is telling me that my computer can
connect with the programmer but not the chip.

Yeah, I had to solder the jumpers too - I don't think that's the problem.
Someone may have already asked this, but are you supplying power to the board from the PSU? I think I had to in order to program it, but I can't remember. If you haven't already, you might try that. Also, try using your multimeter and making sure the pins on the ICSP header connect somewhere on the Atmega. You might check for shorts while you're at it.

I just raked the test lead over all the pins. If you hear the multimeter beep (assuming yours does that), you know it's connected somewhere. If all else fails you can just test one pin at a time. I figured that if the atmega were connected to the wrong pins, there would be a major disfigurement of the board somehow, and I'd notice it.
I checked the ones that were attached to the lines to the power supply
and my multimeter did beep. Should the ones that connect to the 6 and
10 pin headers also beep? Also I don't know If this could be the
problem but my motherboard will not turn on unless I have the 10 pin
header plugged in and attached to the tinyisp
