Do you still have the original backup of the database and the contents 
of the original /etc/pki/ovirt-engine directory? With those two things 
it is possible to recover.

I would suggest the following procedure:

1. Make a clean installation of 3.1, exactly the same version that you 
had before trying to update (make a backup of the database and of the 
/etc/pki/ovirt-engine directory before, just in case). During this 
installation use the answers that you used during the initial 
installation (specially the passwords).

2. Stop the engine, then drop and recover the database as you already did.

3. Restore the contents of the /etc/pki/ovirt-engine directory.

4. Start the engine.

You should be able to log in with the same credentials that you used in 
the original installation.
