Corrupt fit-file? How to fix?

Hi there!

My device is syncing, but my latest activity does not show up in GC. Manual upload to the activity-list stucks without error message.

What app do I have to use to open file? Any ideas to get this fixed are welcome! :-D
  • My treasured Vivoactive HR is dying a slow death :( with increasingly frequent shutdowns and other glitches. Two such incidents resulted in corrupt .FIT files - would very much appreciate it if I could get these fixed.

    Thanks in advance!

    P.S. When I tried garmin.kiesewetter.nl it just seemed to hang - is that site broken or was I just too impatient?
  • hi ramjam,

    Give this file and this file a try.

    Would also suggest trying a factory reset of your device and seeing if that helps - especially seen as it looks like you've done a firmware update recently.

    cheers

    Thanks, Mike, the fixed files worked great! The factory reset, unfortunately, did not. I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue - in addition to the random shutdowns, the upper third of the touchscreen no longer works, which means certain key screen buttons are unpressable. Wishing now that I didn't try the reset, because the touchscreen issue prevents me from setting the watch up like I had it.

    Try this one.


    I couldn't get this to work, the file type wasn't recognised ????
  • jacko1747 it's working for me. Says "Borders Cycling." Did you unzip it? Here it is unzipped.
