Description

Describe the Bug

Hi everyone. I've run into a bit of a problem. By accident and out of ignorance, I used QMK Toolbox to flash my MonsGeek M7 with firmware meant for the M1. Everything seemed fine, but now I can't reset the firmware. The Toolbox doesn't recognize the keyboard at all, and trying to enter bootloader mode does nothing—it just won't turn on the way it did when I first flashed it. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know. Thanks

Research direction
Investigate how to recover a MonsGeek M7 after flashing incorrect firmware. Check the QMK documentation for bootloader recovery methods, such as shorting reset pins. Look into QMK Toolbox source code for any existing recovery features. Ask the user to provide the specific MCU and bootloader details. Consider adding a warning in QMK Toolbox about flashing wrong firmware.
