FR235 Corrupt FIT File? 6hrs training data - please help

Former Member over 7 years ago

Today I did a 6hr training session and the FIT File won't upload and Garmin Connect says it is an UnSupported File Type ( But they are all FIT Files , right? ! )

Does anyone know what to do - is there some way I can save/see my data?

Thanks. Some of the heart rate data looks wrong , but it's good to have the bulk of it.

Can anyone get hold of this tool? I've had this before and just deleted the file , but this was different as I am training for a long kayak race and wanted to see the stats etc.

Thanks Again !

for what it's worth

the length and checksum was missing in the first part of your file

closure data was missing at the end of your file

every other data is original

google found this for me FitFileRepairTool

Ah. OK. Thanks.

I notice that I have Stroke Count ( I was kayaking ) showing in the activity detail. I've never seen this before, it's REALLY Useful, I wonder if I can switch that on somehow , or if it appeared because you ran it through the tool.

when you do not mind...can also via PM

I could try the FFRT tool on another fit file from you

export the original fit from garmin express

Hi,

Sorry for the delay - this is a valid (not corrupt) file .. could you process this and see if it has Strokes Per Min data inside. Thanks

will have a look

what type of activity do you use for your workout ?

I ask because it is showing generic activity type

you could use a running activity to log your cadance-stroke count and change it afterwards in GC

the previous repaired one was set as a running workout
after import in Garmin Connect Web you set it to swimming and got the strokes shown

this one petelawton-check-strokes-sport-empty-961F2242-fixed.zip

imported and saved with FitFileRepiarTool kept the sport type as it was....empty
imported in GCW and set it to swimming, showed no stroke data

this one petelawton-check-strokes-sport-swim-961F2242-fixed.zip

imported with FitFileRepairTool, set sport(generic) to any sport and save...used swim type
imported in GCW shows stroke data when sport is set to swim
