Restore Management Group only from databases backups

Hello,

We tried to upgrade our production management group from SCOM 2012 to 2012 R2 but upgrade failed. Due we had limited time for upgarade we decided to rollback changes and restore 2012 sp1 management servers.

In fact we have all the servers broken (SDK service is unable to connect to database), we have backups of our DB and DWH (sp1, before the upgrade)

Is it possible to restore management group having only database backups? We tried to install new management group with the same name and then restore old databases but after that SDK service was unable to start (account were configured the same way):

Event 26380

The System Center Data Access service failed due to an unhandled exception.  
The service will attempt to restart. 
Exception: 

Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ConfigurationReaderException: Feature of type 'Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceDataLayer.ISecureStorageManagerFeature, Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.DataAccessService.Core, Version=7.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' cannot be added to the container. ---> Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ComponentActivationException: The constructor for the component threw an exception. Please see the inner exception for more details. ---> System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Bad Data.

So could you please suggest if it is possible to restore management group having only database backups? (all the scenarios assume that at least one management server is heathy in MG group, but for now we have no healthy SP1 ms).

I appreciate any suggestions

Thanks
