In case you have this unfortunate event, and are unable to update your firmware. I provide you the restoration procedure sent to me by Tacx support. But before going into this process, I suggest you read this post.

Now open the email on your smartphone and click on the link below:

Wait for the firmware installation to complete and follow the instructions on screen when necessary.
Once the firmware is installed, you can use your trainer again.

The procedure take about 10 min to flash, and the final result:
