Corrupt FIT File Repair Requests

Question

Hi,

I would like to load this file into any software, but all of them tell me that it cannot be imported.
For some reason the file is not working (the watch ran out of battery while it was tracking the hike), but I would really like to have it.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi madmatt2314 I'm not sure I've understood your problems. But I "frequently" have issues downloading stored swim heart rate data (From Garmin HRM-Swim) to my Forerunner 965. 
 The workaround I've found to work almost always is. 
 1- Disable Bluetooth on your mobile phone (To avoid duplicated activities. More on that later). 
 2- When finishing your activity. Choose to save it. But *CANCEL* the heart rate data download. Save the workout WITHOUT the heart rate data. 
 (This will save an activity without heart rate data. And if your phone syncs that, you'll have an activity on Garmin Connect (And any other services connected to it) without the heart rate data. 
 3- Go to the activity details and THEN choose to download the heart rate data. The watch should search for your HRM, download the data, then treat/parse/add/etc. 
 (This will add/impose the heart rate data on your current activity. If you had synced before this step, Garmin Connect will create a new/duplicate activity, but with your heart rate data, and this new one "might" go to other services, or not. Depending on the Service. It won't go to Strava because Strava will believe it's a duplicate activity because it is of the same type and started at the same time as the previous one, but it will go as a duplicate to TrainingPeaks) 
 4- Now you can turn on Bluetooth on your mobile and then sync.

done, but only reconstructed 22min starting from km 34 until km 41 
 
 these 22mins of data in the recovered fit file repeated itself multiple times 
 
 verified with Fit File Repair Tool and structure repair with Fit File Tools 's section remover 
 
 speed is a bit high

Unknown said: but only reconstructed 22min starting from km 34 until km 41 
 am not native english, perhaps my choice of words is not the best 
 
 your recovered file only contains data from km 34 until km 41 lasting 22min 
 no beginning and no end only a traject of 6 km could be salvaged

 hi, 
 some strange data crept into your file at 9 miles 
 
 check this file part18-2020-04-16-16-04-01.zip

Former Member · Answer

while waiting for the repair report back here : 
 
 the amount of FIT files in the ACTIVITY folder on your FR35
 
 (when folder contains many fit files time for a backup/clean operation)

the amount of FREE memory on your FR35
 
 (when low FREE memory, check above and below answer)

are you a MAC user
 
 (empty BIN on device)

was this activity with a long duration or distance compared to previous activities
 
 ( long ones use more memory )

was this activty with a pause somewhere during the activity

your fit file contained three corrupted records
