Help with corrupt fit file

Former Member
Former Member over 9 years ago
Might as well start a thread for this like they have over in the 500 forum.

I've only had my 520 for a week, and I really like it. The only issues I've had so far are that sometimes the bluetooth requires me to restart on the device to work properly, and then tonights FIT file is really corrupt so I can't load it over to strava.

The online FIT tool doesn't fix it, and then I opened it in golden cheetah. It seems the timestamps are all whacky, where it should be increasing every second, but it looks like the stamps are becoming integer overflows. The data is there, I just don't know of a way to edit all of the timestamps by just setting them as monotonically increasing seconds after they start getting corrupt in the file.

Any ideas?

    bad time data in fit file

    Hey,

    my 520 wanted to be in the future so he decided to jump 3 years.

    I can open my file, but there is still an error while uploding it to strava.
    All data is there, just the time jumps after an hour of riding.
    The attempts with diverse online repair tools didn't work for me.

    Can anyone of you fix this for me? :-)

    Thanks a lot!

    Hello Lars,

    The times and dates were jumping back and forth. Very strange. Have not seen corruption like that before.
    There were several power spikes like 750 then 1 sec later 1110 then back to 690. I evened those out by changing 1110 to 720.
    There were several cadence spikes 148 to as high as 188 in 1 sec. I evened those out as well.
    So....here ya go. Fixed with the Fit File Repair Tool.

    Please help, corrupt .fit

    My 520 decided to update itself mid-ride today and I've been unable to fix the file. I was able to recover it from my garmin via an undelete program. Strava is complaining about time issues and uploading to garmin connect fails. Can anybody help??

    thanks in advance!, I really don't want to lose my ride battling headwinds to the baldy ski lifts today

    Sorry Jwin,

    That file is totally corrupt.
    You might try this recovery program and attach the recovered file again.

    Sorry Matt,

    That file is totally corrupt. Try a different recovery program.
