Problems with PKHex

[dae428]

I recently used PKHex on my 3DS for Omega Ruby, but unfortunately I think I accidentally corrupted the save file. I can't access the game and when I try to edit the save file I have, the Pokemon still show up, but the Boxes they are in are either blank or have a weird random symbol. Is there anything that can be done? At the very least I'd like to just wipe my Omega Ruby sav file and start over as I was only 45 minutes in.

Depends what actually is corrupted; if you saved a backup (probably not) you can compare files.

It's quite likely that whatever method of writing it back to the save failed; if you transferred it via ftp you might have had some communication issues.

Boxes can be dumped via the Tools dropdown.

So is there a way to fix this by dumping the boxes? If I were to just get rid of all the pokemon I had, would that fix the whole box problem or no? It's really weird. Once I start the game, I get a random screen shot pop up then the opening for the game starts. After that once the opening is over or I skip it, the game just stops working. Also when using the PkHex my battle box as well as whatever is to the left of the battle box has red boxes. Is there a way to just restart the Omega Ruby sav file at all?

You're best off restarting, something got corrupted (likely on transferring).

PKHeX recognizes unreadable pk6 files inside the save, so you're best off dumping the undamaged pkm's and restarting.

So basically just get a new copy of Omega Ruby?

No, restart your game.

Try using homebrew to write another save file (find another main file around the net), then you should be able to get to the continue screen.
