R7000P Bricked. Accepts TFTP from Serial Cable but Will Not Load Properly

R7000p bricked after a botched firmward update.

 

I can access the CFE via serial cable through Putty.  After nvram erase, the device accepts tftp and a transfer of the latest firmware "r7000p-v1.3.2.134_10.1.66.chk" is successful via windows tftp.  However, then the device just continues to cycle through its startup and not successfully run the new firmware, displaying the following:

Re: R7000P Bricked. Accepts TFTP from Serial Cable but Will Not Load Properly

You can check with support if the unit is still under warranty. But it may be bricked if the TFTP is not working.
