Corrupt Fit file

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…

Lost ride...

Hello.
I'm hoping maybe there is someone with the knowledge to help me as well.
My garmin promted me for a software update just as I had finished a short race, and somehow threw away the activity record.
I managed to pull the corrupt .fit file, but I can't use it.
Do you think it can be fixed?
Thanks in advance for looking at it :-)
I can't attach the file for some reason, keeps saying "upload failed"

Another corrupt file.

Was wondering if there is a helpful soul out there willing to give my file a go as well?
It would be much appreciated.

Hi Mads,

FFRT can't open the file so I would hazard a guess that it's totally corrupt and nothing can be done to recover the data.

Thanks for trying.
I tried it with the trial version, and that was able to open the file.
So I was hoping that was the way to go, but alas... No luck
Thanks anyway though.

hi Mads,

interesting that you were able to get it to open with the trial version of FFRT - might be time for me to drop a line to the developer and see if we can't work out what is happening.

cheers

Hi Mike.
Maybe :-)
I was thinking you might have an out dated version of the software.
Anyway, I bought the license my self, and was able to get everything but the last few hundred meters back.
So I'm certainly a happy camper now.
Uploads doesn't work for me right now, but if you want to try it with the repaired file and your ffrt, I'll give a whirl later :-)

Totals.fit problems.

I seem to be unable to make it work.
It's looks like the unit overwrites my new totals.fit every time I upload it.
Any suggestions?

hi Mads,

Thanks for that, I have uninstalled and reinstalled FFRT and now it seems to be working as it should. Mental note to self to occasionally download the updates manually and then install them!

I was able to upload the file to Strava without any issues but Garmin Connect thru up an error - happens on a regular basis whenever something in the background of GC is changed, Mathias gets it resolved pretty quickly normally.

cheers
Mike
