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

    goddi2k - are you trying to upload the file using this screen? I have just been able to successfully upload the fixed file to GC.

  • kiwimtnbkr - yes, I'm using this import screen in GC. I always get the below error message. I fired up the developer tools in Chrome and the upload fails with a http 500, but unfortunately still no specific error message ("messages":[{"code":500,"content":"An unexpected error occurred while processing the file."}]) ... :-( I also tried the GC account from my wife, but I got the same error message. Also tried different browsers. I'm a bit puzzled that it works on your end...ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1457589.png

    Hello,

    Would somebody be able to fix this file for me please? I can see it fine on my watch but it's not syncing and I can't upload it to GarminConnect or to Strava. I think I got a new PB so really hope it's recoverable!

    Thanks very much,

    Ed

    smaston3 - FFRT shows that your file doesn't contain a single data. Not a lot I can do to assist without any data to manipulate

    kiwimtnbkr OK, thanks for trying. It happened when I paused a ride and turned the Garmin 520 off, then it wouldn't turn on properly. When it did the ride had gone, I recovered the file using a bit of file recovery software.

    Cheers

    Hi everyone,
    like so many others, i'm having a problem, but this file was recovered from deleted files on my vivoactive. If you don't mind could you take a swing for me at repair?

    Thanks in advance

    After a 200km ride yesterday my Garmin Edge 520 died pretty much as I stopped the activity. When trying to import the .fit file into Garmin Connect, it fails stating [FONT="Open Sans"]We don't support the file type you tried to import.[/FONT]

    I tried to attach the .fit file here, and this fails too due to the file size (1260KB), hence why I've placed it in DROPBOX.

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/qzdb9exrppya3qt/2019-03-09-08-08-46.fit?dl=0

    Would someone be able to take a look at the file and see if it can be repaired?

    Thanks in advance.
