GL-MT6000 Bricked - Partition Table Problem

My partition 7 has a default name assigned by gdisk instead of rootfs.
I own the issue, I was not careful to use option c before w.

The device will not boot as there is no longer a partition named rootfs. I cannot ping 192.168.1.1 in the default powered up state.

The device will go into recovery mode if I hold the reset button, apply power and continue to hold until the light is solid.
With the laptop nic set to 192.168.1.2 I can connect to http://192.168.1.1 and see the U-Boot screen. I can select a firmware image and upload but flash fails as there is no rootfs partition to write to.
In this mode I can ping 192.168.1.1 but attempts to ssh root@192.168.1.1 just time out.

Is there any way to rename my partition 7 or otherwise re-partition mmcblk0?

Thanks in adv

My FT232 adapter finally showed up.
“gpt rename 0 7 rootfs” from the boot loader console and all is well.
