Help with corrupt fit file

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?

Hi Mike, I competed in K2 today. My fit file failed to sync with "Invalid File Format .fit file not recognised" or similar.

Would you please be able to take a look and see if it has a problem…

Only two thing in this world have caused me to shout unending obscenities at the top of my lungs. I have now found a third.

Thankfully, I stumbled across this lovely thread. After my 520 ride would not upload to my phone, I attempted a manual upload over USB and was given an error message. If one of you fine people could attempt a fix, I would be greatly indebted.

Thank you,

TF

Excellent, it worked perfectly...except for those KOMs I had in my mind. Thank you for the courtesy, Mike.

Is there any consensus as to why the 520 has this issue? I've had it for nearly two years and never had this issue arise until this evening. Would a factory reset be a wise move at this point?

Thanks

Can some please help fix my FIT file from today?

Everything was fine during the road, went to sync with Garmin Connect and had no luck. Then tried manually uploading and continued getting errors (both on Garmin Connect and Strava). My first ride back on the road after two months, interested to see how it compares to previous rides.

File is attached (I think). Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
