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…

Hi, does anyone know how to fix this? Did approx a 80 mile ride but shows up with very little gps and no segments. Many thanks in advance.

Hello Leightsp,
Sorry....that file is very small. It has the first minute and the last minute. Everything in between is missing. I did not try to repair the file.

Hello!

I have a corrupt .fit file and have unsuccessfully tried various tools except Fit File Repair Tool (as I can't install it). Could anybody please give it a try? Here is the file:

Hi folks,

Could someone please kindly help me out with a problem.

My 520 seems to have only recorded the first half of my ride says Strava. I recall I have stopped my ride at exactly 74Km

Side note: I got this fit file straight from the 520 because it would not sync via Bluetooth to the connect app.
I then uploaded it to Strava.

Hello Doodsz,
There was a corrupt trackpoint recorded during a 1 hour stop that prevented Strava from using the last half of your file.
An easy fix so here ya go....fixed with the Fit File Repair Tool.



Thank you very much!

Guys,

I tried everything that I could to repair this FIT File but I really can't find a way to do that.
That day I started indoor but after few minutes I couldn't stand it and I decided I would have accepted bad weather (very windy) so I switched bike and screen mode (to turn on GPS basically).

I believe that the problem is with the time stamps as the data over distance are fine, the problem is with the data plotted over time. and in addition I also managed to export this in csv and noticed that at a certain point (not the switch moment...) the timestamp passed to 2019 for unknown reasons..

please help an unlucky guy, that day I did the best sprint ever of all my life, I'd really love to get this little ride into the plot...

thanks
Luca
