It sounds like you're having trouble entering the bootloader on your Corne keyboard. Here are some steps to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Check USB Connection: Ensure that the USB cable you're using is functional. Sometimes, a faulty cable can prevent proper communication with the computer. Try using a different USB cable or port.
2. Power On: Make sure the power switch on your Corne is turned on. The blue LED should blink when you press the reset button if the keyboard is powered correctly.
3. Double-Check Reset Procedure: When you double-tap the reset button, ensure that you are doing it quickly and that you are pressing it firmly enough to register the action.
4. Use Metal Tweezers: If you're still having trouble, you can manually short the RST and GND pins on the nice!nano to enter the bootloader. This method can sometimes be more reliable than using the reset button.
5. Check for Shorts: If the keyboard is still not responding, there may be a short circuit on the PCB. Inspect the solder joints and ensure there are no solder bridges between pins.
6. Try a Different Device: If possible, connect your keyboard to a different computer to see if it can be recognized there.
If you've tried all these steps and still can't enter the bootloader, you may want to refer to the Entering the Bootloader troubleshooting guide for more detailed instructions.

the only thing i havent tried yet is with another cable, just tried it on my laptop and still doesnt work
These boards use ZMK not QMK
Not sure theyll show up in the QMK toolbox...
i looked at some guide on youtube and he seemed to get it working, but either way my bootloader should pop up automatically when i press the reset button twice right?
ok, so ive made some progress. done with all the zmk, repo and pushed it to github, (just waiting for github to finish checking my push), but whenever i plug my corne to the computer it doesnt show up. so i cant drag the files and flash them, because there is nothing to drag the files to?
ok, i got it sorted out, went and got another cable.....
Great
Yeah cables can be tricky
