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

    Derrick-Ng - are the activity files (in the Activities folder I think) still on your device? Can you attach the corrupted file in a reply to this post?

    Yes, it's still there in the Activities folder. I'm attaching both of them here.

    Derrick-Ng - the forum isn't letting me download them... can you, if you don't already, get yourself a free Dropbox account, upload the files to there and then share the links to them in a reply.

    cheers

    Derrick-Ng - give this file and this file a try.

    One other thought - how many completed and uploaded activities are still on your device? If it's any more than a months worth then consider archiving them off to a folder on your computer. It could be that there isn't enough storage room left to write all the data to the file.

    cheers

  • Thank you very much Mike. The corrected file works and is showing as what it should (despite physical file size being smaller I noticed). And yes, will definitely try your suggestion as well and see how it goes. Thanks again!

    Unfortunately everything I'm trying is failing, it's probably the best couple hours of riding I've done and I'm about to lose all hope.ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1476495.jpg

    Thanks a million @kiwimtnbkr!
  • Hello. I did a big charity ride yesterday and for some reason the fit file is corrupt and will not upload from my EDGE. I have tried an online fix tool but no luck. Can anyone help? I would love to see the data as it is the longest time I have ever been on a bike. File attached.

    Thanks for any help.
