I could use the TFTP server and the router read the file mentioned by our canadian friend. (I had the rename the file to this new one name "ArcherC7v5_tp_recovery.bin")
While the router is "off" you must press the reset button and then "power on" the router. It worked with openwrt
Look the video that I have done in this router installing openwrt

Hi I have tested you last firmware. It was not possible to flash via Web GUI neither wia TFTP.
Let´s wait until i get my serial adapter to see what the boot log show.
thanks so far for your help.
For what it's worth I tried to tftp flash this file as well, and it definitely is requesting it by filename (ArcherC7v5_tp_recovery.bin) but it doesn't appear to be accepting it for flashing.

I have tested the file from
https://svn.dd-wrt.com/ticket/6492#comment:5
factory-to-ddwrt.2.bin
I was able to flash the file via Web Gui and i works but after reboot the router bricked. I have tried 4 times and also did hard reset 30/30/30 but always after flash it brick.
Brainslayer already closed the ticket hope he can have a look on the file and find the error why the router bricks after flashing.
