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 Mike
    Any chance you can work your magic on this file ? The usual fix tools don't seem to like it and give an error "Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints".

  • hi Rob,

    I've have 5 attempts to download your file and I am getting an 'invalid file specified' warning each time. Can you get yourself a free Dropbox account, upload the file to there and then share the link in a reply to this post.

    cheers

  • Happens for the first time to me. Didn't expect this error to occur after using my device for a few years without any problems at all. Hope someone can fix this file for me please ?

  • hi Rob,

    Give this file a try. Note that there was only 10mins worth of data contained in the file.

    cheers

  • Hi Mike
    Many thanks for giving it a go, I really appreciate your help. As you say the file only includes 10 mins and 4km. When I look at the list of activities in my Gamin it does describe the ride as 01:16:05 and 30.25 km so it appears it did record more of the ride but somehow lost the data. From your experience do you have any idea what might have caused the file to get corrupted so that I can try to avoid similar in future ? The only thing that I can recall doing different is that I usually press and hold the reset button before I connect and sync to my computer, this occasion I just pressed stop and then plugged in the cable; do you think might have caused it ?

  • Hi Mike.

    The URL behind it lead me to an unreachable page. I think there is a mistake on the file linking.

  • Hello,

    Unfortunately I seem to have the same problem as multiple people on this thread. I already tried the online tool of garmin.kiesewetter.nl but it didn't work. If anyone could have a look at it that would be greatly appreciated. This was my first activity on my brand-new Garmin so I'm hoping this in one time only..

    Thanks in advance!
  • hi Rob,

    How many completed and upload activities are still on your device? If it's anymore than a months worth then it could be time to archive the older activities off to a folder on your computer.

    cheers

  • hi Syahmi,

    My mistake - try this file.

    cheers
