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

Hi

I had a run this morning which synced the steps and not the activity. I tried manually uploading but the website stated the file was corrupt.

I had a go with http://garmin.kiesewetter.nl/ but received an error and have tried a few other ways of fixing before finding this forum.

I'd be very grateful if someone could have a look at fixing the attached for me!

Thanks

Edit: http://garmin.kiesewetter.nl/ now working fine - File fixed! :D

Fidgetbum - get yourself a free Dropbox account, upload the file to there and then share the link to it in a reply to this post.

Hello, I just had the same corrupt file issue for the first time. I tried using http://garmin.kiesewetter.nl/ to repair it, but it lost all GPS data. Im wondering if this file is repairable?

thanks!!

kiwimtnbkr Worked great, thanks! Curious, could you tell what was wrong with the file, or what caused the corruption? Also what software did you use to repair it? thanks again!

I'm getting the "used by another process" message. On a Mac and seem to have exhausted my possibilities, anyone that can help out there? Thanks in advance!

Dogz4life - there was one corrupt GPS record. All repairs are done using the power of the Fit File Repair Tool.
