Corrupt FIT File Repair Requests

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.

  • Been riding indoors for a while, nice day and decided to go outside. First issue, 520 stuck at splash screen. Eventually cured with booting into mass storage mode and remove new files folder. So off I went, started ride recording. Back now and guess what, fit file no recognised, corrupt? Neither Starva or Garmin will upload. Downloaded fit file repair tool, doesn't appear to import this file... So you can imagine my love of Garmin right now... can anyone work their magic on this file?- edit don't bother

    Edit 1: Looks like this is an event log, doesn't appear to be a fit file from looking more into it... its gone, I stopped the ride, saws the summary, and now I can't find it on my 520? I really hate my Garmin..

    Edit 2: Have done a scan of the activities folder and recovered , using un-delete software, the same file but with different contents?. This time the contents look like a fit file so have replaced original upload and hopefully someone can have a look. I've tried the repair tool and now I get a resources error!

    hi miangardner,

    No luck here either - FFRT reported your file as 100% corrupt.

    cheers

  • Hi, this is my first forum post. I have a FIT file that Garmin Express says is corrupt and so it won't upload. I have tried to fix it using fit file repair tool but not sure what is wrong with it so not sure what i need to change to get it to work.

    Any ideas or help would be really appreciated.

    File is for a New Years Day triathlon where I set a PB so really hope it can work!

    Thanks

  • Another failed zwift workout file. Thanks in advance for fixing yet another file. It is greatly appreciated. If there is a way for me to fix it from a mac, I am technically inclined and am willing to learn so I can stop asking for someone else to fix it :D

    hi dhensche,

    Give this file a try.

    And FFRT which I do all file repairs with, is Windows only.

    cheers
