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.

Did you connect a UART adapter to the router? My Lede build for Archer C7 v2 works
perfectly. I did never use the pre-compiled images and I'm using sysupgrade images only.
