Can only upload the program in bootloader mode

the upload log on Arduino IDE 2.3.7:

bossac -d --port=COM3 -U -e -w Blink.ino.bin -R
Set binary mode
Send auto-baud

No device found on COM3
exit status 1

My board won't allow upload after an upload unless it's in bootloader mode, but the SSD1306 screen isn't working with this upload way, what's going on?

What board?

post verbose error log in code tags so we can see what is going on.

Make sure you have the right Com port selected for the UNO R4

Your first post showed: COM3 and last one showed COM2.
Also make sure no other app has the com port open.

It has been awhile since I did anything with R4, but if I remember correctly, I also ran into
issue similar if the sketch you are currently running has hung or crashed. But if it is
running something like blink it should work.

5

That log looks short, also I don;t remember seeing those messages at the bottom but I haven't looked in a while.
It looks like you have not selected the correct port.

6

sorry but I heard something weird advice from AI and edit the COM3 to COM2, I already change it back, and I'm sure that COM3 not using by any programs.

The program actually work and blinking if I upload it with bootloader mode, but the problem is I can't upload the programs into board normally.

7

After you start up the R4, what shows up in the tools->Port menu?
Does it show an entry for the R4 and is it selected?

When you are in bootloader mode it does not matter that the com port is off as it
looks for it as a specific USB type...

If you have the Serial monitor pane open, try closing it.

Try running a simple sketch like:

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
}

int loop_count = 0;
void loop() {
    Serial.println(loop_count++);
    delay(1000);
}

If you load it and have the Serial monitor open does it output to it?
Can you then load a different program?

8

COM3 (Arduino UNO R4 Wifi), yes.
It will output numbers.
No, still can't upload normally, but the error log changed:

I found the problem that my wire was connected to the RST pin instead of the VCC pin, sorry for wasting you all's time:(
