Issue: I have just recently bought a RAK4631 and a RAK19007 to use for my meshtastic project. When I try connecting them to my computer I am not able to mounted drive when they are in boot mode. Also, I can’t connect over serial at all to any of my boards. I have tried multiple usb cables, modules, and computers all with no luck.
If anyone knows some of the methods I can try to debug this issue that would be great. So far all of the form posts have not helped me get much further on this issue.
Let me know if there are any more details that I should post to help in finding a solution.
As I look at it, the port was detected correctly. What happens if you double click the reset button?
Also would there be chance that you order a wrong WisBlock Core? I looked on my RAK4631-R and we have the same VID and PID. You can validated if you have RUI3 firmware by sending basic AT command like AT or ATE.
Sorry for the being all over the place but I think I have got around most of the previous problems by using nRF Connect.
Right now I am trying to flash the Arduino bootloader but it is still not easy as my windows machines wont mount the drive for drag and drop. This is the guide I started from: Convert RAK4631-R to RAK4631 | Meshtastic
Here is the log from the farthest I have gone so far:

Possible causes:
- Selected Bootloader version does not match the one on Bluefruit device.
Please upgrade the Bootloader or select correct version in Tools->Bootloader.
- Baud rate must be 115200, Flow control must be off.
- Target is not in DFU mode. Ground DFU pin and RESET and release both to enter DFU mode.
