WisBlock shows up as FTHR840BOOT when entering DFU mode

[Dave2025 (David Carlson)]

Hi, I’m trying to flash Meshtastic onto a RAK Wisblock I have with the 4630 labeled chip on it. When fallowing the directions it says to connect to usb on the PC and enter the DFU mode by pressing the button on the side then drag and drop the new firmware’s UF2 file into the drive that shows up on Windows. When I press the button on the side I get a drive that pops up just like a thumb drive would when its plugged in. Only in the examples I’ve seen for flashing the firmware when the drive shows up its labeled RAK4631. The problem is my drive shows up as FTH840BOOT. Then the other problem is when I drag the new UF2 firmware file into the drive it then copies with no problem but after rebooting the device the file is gone disappeared and doesn’t install or anything leaving me at a dead end.

What advice does anyone might have that I should be researching to get the firmware to flash correctly? Thanks

FTH840BOOT

Ok never mind. I just figured it out. I had update the bootloader. On the Meshtastic site they have documentations showing how to update nRF52 bootloader. It was simple All I had to do was first drag and drop the bootloader file onto the drive and now finaly I can drag and drop the Meshtastic .UF2 firmware file. They needed to say something about this on there for trouble shooting .
