Looking at your plant, definitely still worth saving . Just keep in mind, although it does react well with re potting, it will be an adjustment period, taking its sweet time. In a few weeks, it will grow new roots and new leaves. Some roots it will grow are aerial, it also does some photosynthesis for the plant.

That is why I often remove all the old sphagnum moss from a newly bought Phal, to help the roots get some more air after being tightly packed during its shipping and vendors selling them. In time, when you are more familiar with the quirks of Phal growing, you can use other forms of media to grow them in. But for now, stick to chunky orchid bark media and if you cannot mount them, use containers with side and bottom holes to add more airflow at the root zone.
