iPhone I have share my experience.

Victorville is next to Barstow, right?
Worlds largest thermometer.

 

No, World's largest thermometer is in Baker CA.
Victorville is right up on top of the Cajon Pass in the same area as Hesperia, Apple Valley and such.

Does the camera still work? If so, how about a pic or two of that oversized thermometer?

 

No, you don't.

 

So you're there, take a photo and drive home.
Half a day. It's worth it as I am pretty sure there are many here who haven't seen what is considered by many in Victorville as "the eighth wonder of the universe".

Road trip!

 

Lol that damn thermometer doesn't even work anymore. It's always broken. But it would read like 115+ degrees right now if it was working, it's already hot as hell out here in the high desert!

And good to know about the little rejailbreaking trick. I haven't installed or removed anything in Cydia in a while now for fear of this kind of stuff happening. I have a feeling you got lucky and this wouldn't work that often for most people, but it's worth a shot before people just go ahead and restore.
