Corrupted FIT file activity

Hi, I had a ride yesterday and when I finished it my Edge declared on a new elevation record and stopped responding. After a minute I understood this is not going anywhere and none of the buttons worked so I did a reset by holding the power button for a couple of seconds. After that the activity wasn't uploaded from the device and even though I can see that I made this ride (see the time and distance) I can't get into the details of it. When I came back home I tried to upload with the Garmin connect but I got a message the file is corrupted so I tried to use some Fit file fixers over the net but none of them seems to fix it in a way that I will be able to upload it to the Garmin connect (even though one of the fixer created a file that allowed me to upload to Strava with a small missing part at the end of the activity - I tried http://garmin.kiesewetter.nl/ - Failed, https://www.fitfiletools.com/ - File was good for Strava but not for Garmin Connect).
Any other suggestion how to fix it so I will be able to see the activity in Garmin connect and in the Edge itself.

Former Member - over 40% of the file was corrupted beyond repair. This file contains what FFRT was able to recover.

Thanks Mike,

That's the 2nd time this happens to me and I believe now that is regarding the change of GPS + GLONASS to GPS + GALILEO made last week.

Can't be sure but I have a huge conviction that was it.

I've change it again to Glonass and see how it goes from here.

Again, thanks for your trouble.

Cheers,

Pedro

Hi,

I did an epic 190km ride today, with my record in climbing (1500m). Everything went fine, I saved the activity on my Edge 1030. When I wanted to sync it to my GC account, it doesn't work. I tried via iPhone&Blutooth, and via my Mac&cable. Nothing. I also tried to upload the fit file to GC via the import, but no. I also tried the online kiesewetter tool, but it doesn't seem to be working right now (it gives an error message that doesn't seem to be related to my file).

This is the first time I get a corrupted file, no idea why. Quite annoying, since it was one of my longest rides.

Can anybody help ?

Thanks a lot !

I managed to import the file. Yay !

The trick was to use : https://www.fitfiletools.com/#/top

and in particular, the section remover (but without removing anything).

In the end, I only lost the pauses I made, and so my average speed is a bit off. But the GPS is there, HR, elevation, so not that bad a rescue.

Finnzose

thank you for the feedback and for the great tip ! wonderful !

learned a new trick today

even calendar scheduled trainingfiles are kept in original state

this method keeps the original structure of the fit file

and simply adds the summary field at the end of the fit file

not to forget you have to re-calculate the checksums and file length

happy & safe sporting

Would someone be kind enough to help me with a corrupt FIT file. I completed a ride two days ago (100km, 4 hrs), but the file on my Garmin is 33.7mb. Much larger than normal. I really want the ride.

I have tried the online fit repair tool, but it cannot handle the large file. I cannot find anything else to process it.

I would really appreciate any assistance. The file is at https://gofile.io/?c=Y4A7ao

Thanks
