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?

    Hi,

    please look into your file!! (with a text Editor like Notepad++ or so)
    this is not a fit file and contains some astonishing information
    (the original file is still available?)

    I'm Confused as that was the file that was recovered from my garmin, basically the ride saved, then i looked through the summary and then as i was going back up to my flat the garmin shut down, i thought nothing of it, opened it up to sync with my phone and nothing happened, then checked the ride history and it was not there, used a recovery file software and found a file in activities, the same format as the ride should have been showing as date with - between and then time so i 'recovered it' in the hope of fixing it if it was corrupt. looks like something went wrong though i guess...

    is the astonishing info, something i should take off of the web then?

    not sure i'm going to get the ride back

    Me too please?

    My 520 jumped ahead in time nearly 6 months right after I started to ride. Grrrr :mad:

    Hopefully it is fixable. Thx to those who do this willingly and freely. You folks rock!

    ps tried some of the online tools first to no avail.

    I have a corrupt fit file ...

    because so far no one has replied, I've looked into the file
    was this an indoor ride? some data are implausible (e.g. GPS)
    from minute 16 to 24, the data are missing completely
    the repaired file works with WKO, Golden Cheetah and garmin connect
    I hope it helps
