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…

thanks, but it did not work very well :( got a lot of false QOMs which I know are not real... see: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hr8qtnziqc0hhcm/FalseQOMs.JPG?dl=0

adrianaangel - I'll have another look but I am not too sure if there is much I can do about the QoMs. All I have done is overlay the GPS track into the file. Isn't there a way for a Strava user to delete QoMs?

cheers
Mike

Hello Mike, Thanks again for helping with this file, I thought that I asked you to be kin enough to help with another 160 km ride file but cannot find my request or your answer. So if you have helped, thanks and I apologise! Here is the link to the file (it was during the 6Points Cycling Challenge Mallorca and it was a tough day - so I really want the stats!) https://www.dropbox.com/s/g7h8z8y1lme8ee4/2019-05-17-07-06-51.fit?dl=0 Thanks in anticipation!

Just finished first-ever Century and file is corrupted (file saved and battery died) Can you help?

Former Member - replied to in the other thread you posted in. Please only make one post when requesting assistance with broken .fit files. There is nothing more frustrating than fixing a file in one thread only to find it was fixed by someone else in another thread.

cheers
Mike
