Build procedure works fine but after sysupgrade the device bootloops, and it has to be recovered by tftp method (using version patched (12 bytes of 0 from 0x40 on) original firmware).
Does anybody else encouter this problem from r15299 on?
r15298 still works fine.

The bootloop also occurs using the current precompiled version from the buildbot:

downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ath79/generic/openwrt-ath79-generic-tplink_archer-c7-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin from Thu Dec 24 04:09:18 2020

I've had similar bootloops with archer c7 v5 and wdr4300 yesterday also noticed message in the logs after tftp recover on both devices(not sure if these messages was before)
[ 11.920218] jffs2: notice: (564) jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem: complete building xattr subsystem, 15 of xdatum (13 unchecked, 1 orphan) and 19 of xref (1 dead, 0 orphan) found.

On the other hand same revision flashed fine on the ath79 gl.inet-ar750s

Do you know by any luck if for you the build number was also >=r15299 ?

The last commit I built was https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=920b692667470cf666ebb573f9213eccf3117702

Haven't tried snapshots from buildbot

Ok so you are also in the >=r15299 range.
I tired recompiling commit by commit and where it broke was r15299:
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=5fc28ef47959c1256f2553d507224bb481b08494

The IMAGE/sysupgrade.bin/squashfs definition from commit 5fc28e is leaking into other devices and the generated sysupgrade.bin images are actually tarballs, which do not boot.

I can confirm it works fine again. Thank you very much for the fast fix.
