Default X-Backup data not restorable after upgrade to ROM 1.60
I have (had...) a German lang. T-Mobile MDA II. Upgraded to 1.60, thinking that solves the german language problem smoothly. IT DID!

BUT:

When I want to restore the data from my SD card, the process goes through, and after the reset it says Contacts not available, and everzthing is gone: Start menu has only three lines, no programs available, etc.
I still have my contacts on my desktop (which is a Mac...), but lost all my 135 SMS messages, and all the settings for GPRS, MMS, etc.

Probably the German language settings are not compatible with the new English OS...

Anyone had the same? Any workaround?

it is very seldom that a restore will work that was made from a different rom. it is best to reinstall all your applications manually. keep in mind that when you do a rom upgrade there can be many changes made to your device such as in the registry that are now quite different, so if you were to apply a restore you would be putting your registry back the way it was.....

Yes mate. Back up your .apks and whatnot, but don't try refreshing a GB backup onto an ICS device. This is the number one cause of compatibility issues and random 'bugs' that users run into.

A fresh wipe will always give you the very best performance, and the very least issues

best of luck with it, check back in if you run into issues.
