Help with corrupt fit file

Former Member

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 Micahl,

    Not sure where you got that file from but it isn't the one I uploaded to Dropbox - it should end in 'fixed.fit'.

    cheers

    Hello!

    I went riding on July 4th and got several "Memory is full" messages. There is a FIT file that was uploaded (apparently) but GC is not updating my dashboard with this activity.

    Hoping someone can take a look and recover the ride stats. File is attached.

    Thank you.

    I am in need of some expertise as well. I have a file here from today. Garmin 520. It's somehow corrupted and although it's in the history on the device it will not upload to strava or garmin connect. I've tried the common online tools but they are giving me error messages I cannot figure out how to use them with a Mac. Can someone fix this .fit file for me please?? Thanks a bunch.

    Mike,
    Thanks so much! That worked like a charm. Not sure how you did that so easily but I'm amazed.
