Corrupt FIT File Repair Requests

Former Member
Former Member over 13 years ago

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 LoekV,

    Give this file a try and see if it's showing what you're expecting...I'm working with Mathias on this one to better understand fixing this type of error.

    cheers

    Hi Mike, thanks for the new version. However, when I see the contents of the .fit file, it seems most cadence values are now halved. So about 80 in general, where my cadence was 160 in general. See below for the graphs. Fig. 1: Original with the zero values. Fig. 2: Your latest file, where there are still strange parts, and also everything seems halved. Fig. 3: How it should be, so Fig. 1, but then the zero values replaced by 120. Hope this makes it a bit clearer :-). In any case, thanks a lot for all the time you put in this!

    Figure 1: Original with the zero values.

    Hi, my 520 decided to say "memory full" and shut down after 215k and 4000m of climbling. I got the file out but it's corrupted. it's 1.7mb, so too big to attach.

    can anyone help? I'm really keen to get the data out!

    cheers

    hi Rich.

    Get yourself a free dropbox account, upload and then share the link to the file in a reply.

    hi Rich,

    Unfortunately your file is 100% corrupt - there is nothing I can do with it.

    cheers
