I wouldn't restore just yet, Erica's iPhone Utilities shouldn't have had that kind of effect.

For starters I would edit the path. I do this by editing this file:
/etc/profile

I edit profile (a text file) to change this line:
PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin"

To this:
PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/var/root/bin"

Then restart the iPhone (turn off then back on).

The path change is needed because Erica places her stuff in /var/root/bin (so as to not take up room on the OS partition).
