Hi everyone. I'm having a problem with my Pokémon Ultra Sun save on Azahar Android (version 2125.1.3-GooglePlay).
I was using a cheat that makes a specific Pokémon appear as a wild encounter. I used it to try to get a Gengar. The cheat code was:
005B9FC0 E1D500B0
005B9FC4 E59F000C
005B9FC8 E5C40004
005B9FCC E59F0000
005B9FD0 E12FFF1E
005B9FD4 0000005E
005B9FD8 000000YY
003A7294 EB084B49
003A72A4 EB084B45
003A72C0 EB084B3E
I initially used YY = 25, then changed it to YY = 10.
After that, when I tried to load my save, the game started showing a gray/black screen after the initial loading screen and never finishes loading.
Things I have already tried:
Restarting my phone.
Clearing Azahar's cache.
Disabling/removing all cheats.
Using the original main save.
Opening the main in PKHeX.
PKHeX recognizes it as a SAV7USUM save.
Verify Checksums says all checksums are valid.
The main is exactly 445,440 bytes.
I made a backup of the original main.
Exporting the save through PKHeX and putting the exported main back into Azahar also results in a black screen.
Even when I temporarily remove the main, Ultra Sun gives “The saved game data is corrupted”.
Save states also result in a black/gray screen.
I disabled New 3DS Mode, but it didn't help.
There is also an Alakazam in my party that PKHeX marks as Invalid Encounter. This Pokémon was created using a similar wild encounter cheat: it appeared in the grass at level 1, and I caught it. I later leveled it up and used it normally throughout my playthrough without any problems.
I never actually caught the Gengar before the problem happened.
My main goal is to recover my original save/progress if possible. I still have the original main backed up and I don't want to start a new game.
Does anyone know what could be causing this, or how I can repair/recover the save?
If someone knows the correct structure/contents of the main file for Ultra Sun, or has a legitimate way to help me repair the save, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
OBS: I also used a cheat to obtain evolution stones and other items, such as Leaf, Water and Thunder Stones. I was able to use those items normally, sell them, and continue playing without any problems. The same applies to the Alakazam: it was created through a cheat, but I was able to use it normally during my playthrough before the save stopped loading.

Can I still recover a the corrupted save, or do I need to start the game over?
