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…

Not sure if corrupt or missing

Edge 820 locked up on me while recording this weekend and had to be hard-reset. It looks like it ate about 30 miles of my recording in the process. Any way to get that back, or am I just out of luck?

Here's the file:

hi qrohlf,

Unfortunately that hard-reset has also deleted the data for that 30miles. Without that data, there is nothing that can be done.

Only thing I can suggest is that if it happens again, look at updating to the latest firmware and probably the easier one, from the lock up location, save the file and start a new one as two individual files are easily joined together.

hi DannerJoe,

You had a small amount of corrupted data near the end of your swim and leading into T1 so the distance/time may not be quite correct.

Give this file a try.

Hey kiwimtnbkr, thanks for the effort! But that is not my activity. I live in Kentucky USA and the file you attached is from Nice France.....could my file be that corrupt?

Also, I use a garmin 820

Thanks again kiwimtnbiker! While that is a section of one of my rides, it is not the ride I did on Wednesday, August the 2nd. While saving my ride, like I always do, my Garmin apparently discarded the ride. I was able to recover the ride using "Recuva" but I could not get the "fit file repair" tool to work. I really do appreciate your efforts tho! Thank you for trying!

Hello,

Could someone try a repair on this file? I accidentally discarded a ride on my EDGE 820, but managed to retrieve the FIT file using one of those undelete utilities. It seems like there's a bit of corruption though.

Thanks,

Tom

hi Tom,

Well over 50% of your file was corrupted and unsalvageable.

This file contains what I have been able to recover.

cheers
