Invalid file format

Hi all, I am having the old problem with the "invalid file format" on my garmin 520 (which has worked perfectly up until now). I know this has been discussed before but not recently - or at least when I looked it up, someone answered with a bunch of spam. I've tried converting the .fit file to .gpx and .tcx and of course it's still not read by strava or garmin connect. I've also tried using http://garmin.kiesewetter.nl/ but it doesn't seem to be working at the moment. Anyone with better knowledge of why this is happening have any ideas of how to fix it? Did a stage of the Haute Route today and would love the data :)

Thanks in advance!

Mike,

Thanks for looking at all of them. Such a bummer. No apps running so who knows what happened! Got the new one last night and other than it refusing to pair with my phone, seems to be working fine. May be posting in another thread on that issue...

Again, thanks so much for your help and time looking at these files.

Cheers,
Kate

Hi Mike,

I've got a similar problem. If you have the time can you please check if the files below have been corrupted. Earlier today after repeatedly trying to sync my Garmin 910XT with my computer, it finally worked but wiped multiple runs from my history. Luckily most were already uploaded but the runs below were not. Thanks.

Thanks very much Mike! The first file worked. The other two files (2019-09-05) weren't sent with your message. If you do have the time to fix those two it'd be great. Thanks again!

Hi,

My latest ride today got an "Invalid File Format (fit)" issue in Garmin Express when trying to Sync. That was after it failed using Blutooth and the Garmin Connect app on my Mobile. Similar to other posters I can see the ride in my History, but can't load it.

The file is available on DropBox https://www.dropbox.com/s/usenq3fzds7b5n2/2019-09-15-07-11-26.fit?dl=0

Thanks in advance for any help.
