HTC Messaging (Sense 2.5) and Text Backups

[Arterion]

Hey all,

I have been unsuccessfully trying to restore my texts onto a new ROM that has 1922 of Sense 2.5. The contacts that I have restores messages for never show up in the All Messages screen, nor do the messages show up when I open the thread, even though the total message count is accurate.

Not only that, but it makes the phone really unstable to boot. I basically have to hard reset to get the phone stable enough to use again after trying to restore my texts.

Anyone have any experience with this? I did some searching, but came up empty-handed.

My old trick was to disable threading, restore texts, enable threading, then let it build the threads again (otherwise the messages were out of order). I have tried to do this by installing Zenyee's CAB to revert back to 2.1 style HTC Messaging, but couldn't make that work either.

Using MyPhone instead of PIMBackup produces the same results.
