My friend and fellow-city-man Mikhail Kondakov with @TRANTOR (moderator of rudtp.ru - Russian InDesign Community) do a new release of a tool for recovery indd-files that can't be opened by some reason.
Here the link to download - Скачать файл
Here the link where you can talk with a creator of this utilitiy - https://forum.rudtp.ru/threads/inddrecovery-programa-dlja-vosstanovlenija-dokumentov-adobe-indesign....
Sorry for machine translation from Russian:
This program allows to recover some documents of Adobe of InDesign which automatic recovery is impossible. The existing version of the program checks integrity of a block structure of the INDD file and try to adjusts it. It allows to recover in certain cases the file which InDesign cannot open with Error code:5. The INDD file represents the database which each record - the block of 0x1000 in size. Blocks can be scattered on base, but each of them has the type, number and checksum. Usually in the file stored two last copies of the document. At violation of integrity one of them InDesign takes the second copy. But some blocks have no duplicates in base therefore if failure is the share of such block, InDesign generates an error of reading 5 and does not try to open the file further even if failure absolutely insignificant and does not conduct to any serious effects for the file. Therefore, many files, hopeless from the point of view of the system of automatic recovery InDesgn, it is possible to repair, having just corrected database structure. Certainly, this program does not eliminate failure completely therefore if damages seriously affect structure of the document, the recovered file all the same will not open. At the same time, even hangup or closing of InDesign by mistake is possible.

Hi,
When i open the link it shows me this:
Could you download it? (I am sceptical to download it)
FYI: CC 2018 of InDesign comes with enhanced recovery workflow and allows to recover some corrupt documents.
