Cannot upload to XIAO nrf52840, cannot access bootloader mode with reset

Yes I’ve tried non mbed BSP as well as selecting COM8 each time.

I’m succesfully uploading to the XIAO with SWD through Jlink. If I upload a blink bin and it doesn’t work, can that be used to verify that XIAO is unrecoverable? Or can it still recover even if that doesn’t work. Not sure what APP mode is. It still is there when XIAO is not plgged in.
