Device bricked due to firmware upgrade

Edy_s over 4 years ago

Tried to upgrade firmware.

During upgrade, device stuck in rebooting for more then an hour.

Finally, I can't communicate with device.

Upon start power green/red light toggles and all lights turn off later.

I guess I need factory reset.

Anyone got this sorted?
I bought brand new Tacx Flux S, first time everything worked fine, next day after firmware update it connects to app but no power, cadence, speed data. Power led is constantly flickering…

The same behavior - tried to update via Tacx Utility, updating process has stuck and nothing happened after that, about 10 minutes later, Utility said that update has been cancelled and Flux S is not work now...

Leds just flashes a couple of time reg/green and nothing more..

Nice try, when you call, they tell that tacx is a brand new member of the garmin group so they don't know. We are quarantined so we wait with a 500€ broken HT. lot of cases on the facebook group for flux owners. that sucks...

I've the exact same problem as the vimeo clip below. I'm really annoyed as only taken out of box last Monday. Ridden 3 times. Knew power had to be calibrated, then booom!!! Rang garmin UK, got through.. Send video... Waiting on reply.. This is going to be a long process unless someone has any reset info here???

Same problem. Firmware update stuck in rebooting. Now Tacx Flux is Bluetooth connected but communicates no power or cadence data.
