Hello all, am having a similar problem with a boot loop. After an attempted flash of a LEDE build, my router is in a 5-6 second loop.

No failsafe mode. Archer C7 v2 can be un-brick with TFTP and U-Boot of the router. If you try it with the serial console, you need a program which hits 'tpl' for you. > I don't know how to debug this. Could someone give me a hint?

I did never use the pre-compiled images and I'm using sysupgrade images only. Regards, Hartmut
I've progressed thru successful serial terminal configuration, and am observing the loop, as well as the TFTP firmware loads attemps. I seem to be failing a check of product ID and version. Then, the router attempts to boot the firmware with the same failure that I see in the regular boot loop:

U-Boot 1.1.4 (Oct 14 2015 - 13:34:14)

The last part starting at the "Autobooting in 1 seconds", is the end of the boot loop, where it complains, then U-Boot starts again. The regular loop is much longer, culminating in the image boot and the same error.

My problem is, I can't seem to catch it with tpl, to stop it and get to console. Have seen another method of erasing and writing from the console, but either I need to type faster, or something's wrong with my console config. Are there any other ways to stop a boot and go to console?

Thanks...

Jon
