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?

    File got corrupted

    Hi,

    I did an FTP test and the data was saved, I could see the data post-ride on the device. Then I tried to upload the data to strava/garminconnect, by plugging the device to the computer. I guess garmin choose to push some updates and I did a hard reset after a few minutes (because it seemed hung up) and now the file is corrupted and I can't even go to the ride on the device. Attached is the fit file. Any way to salvage this ride?

    hi MAHESH_IYER,

    Your file contains only 10secs worth of recorded data. The rest of your ride data just isn't there.

    cheers

    Thanks Mike. Looks like the data is corrupted/gone, pity as I was able to save the ride and saw the stats. I did a hard reboot of the device after I thought it had hung up and I think that seems to have corrupted the data.

    Hi,

    My friend's Garmin Edge 520 froze as he was saving a ride. The Garmin eventually rebooted and the ride didn't save successfully. We did find the fit file on the Garmin, but it appears corrupted. Can someone please help take a look?



    Thanks!

    I have opened your .fit file and I had a warning message sounding like "the recording ended abrouptly and without expected summary"...anyway I've tried to export your file so, try to upload the one attached below and tell me if it does work.
