Corrupt Fit file

Former Member over 8 years ago

My son did his first road race ever yesterday and was using an Edge 820. I believe that his 820 crashed right after the race and as a result his .fit file seems to be corrupt. Is there anyone that can repair it for me?

I probably wouldn't care so much about this if this wasn't his first race ever.

On a side note, his 820 seems to be crashing a lot so I suppose I'll be calling Garmin support.

Can we remove this as a sticky?

lets NOT remove this as a sticky - it allows those of us who assist with fixing corrupt .fit files an easy place to find the requests, and it saves cluttering up the forums…

Hi there, I made a terrible mistake and didn't save today's activity. Recovered a .fit file with a data recovery program but it doesn't work. I was expecting that (reading on the internet they said it happens most of the times) but now I don't know what to do. I screwed it up but I hope you could help me. It was a very important activity and I'd like to try everything to recover it. thank you very much,
Simone
I attached the .fit file hoping you could find a solution or suggest me one

hi theduke2906,

Well over 75% of the data in your recovered file was corrupted beyond repair - give this file a try which contains what was salvageable.

cheers

Is some kind soul able to help me repair this file!? Would appreciate it. Not quite sure what happened. Stopped and saved ride as I usually do. Tried to upload the file from Garmin to Strava (as I usually do), but the file wouldn't register as transferred (even though Garmin indicated that it did). I tried to do it manually and discovered that the file was corrupted.

it's a short ride so not the end of the world, but curious to see if it can be repaired.
