If you have Cydia crashes, i.e. does not start, it is repaired like this:

We go into the phone using iFunBox CyberDuck * (Mac, you need Wi-fi) along the way /var/lib/apt/lists and delete everything there: except the partial folder. We reboot the phone.

If it doesn't help:
1. We need following files(all with *.deb extension):
mobileterminal
openssh
togglelessh (optional, but recommended)
They can be downloaded from here (click on Download:.deb)
2. Program iFunBox (Windows) or Diskaid (paid) or CyberDuck * (Mac, requires Wi-fi)
3. If you have Mobileterminal on your phone, go to step 8
4. Launch iFunbox and go here: /private/var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall (if there are no folders, we create them, taking into account the case of letters)
5. Copy the files from step 1 to the AutoInstall folder
6. Reboot iPhone/iPod Touch 2 times! One by one.
7. The Mobileterminal program appears - launch it
8. In Mobileterminal we write:
su (press Enter)
alpine (you won’t see the word alpine itself, press Enter)
apt-get update (take into account the space and press Enter)

Another method:

Download ClearCydiaListCache.zip (Need .NET), unpack it, click on the exe file.

*You can get into the root system of your phone if you have Wi-fi networks, So:
We turn on Wi-fi on the phone, the phone must see the network and be connected to it (for example, at home to your router)
Download the CyberDuck program, launch it and click Bonjour
In the Username field write root
Password: alpine
OR
In the Server field we write the number (ip address), which can be found on the phone: Settings - Wi-fi - to the right of the name of your network, click on the blue arrow, and in the IP Address field - this is your number (looks something like this: 192.168.0.87) . Enter it into the Server field in CyberDuck
port 22
In the Username field write root
Password: alpine
If it doesn't connect the first time, try again. It may take a few minutes at first, but then it will be faster to connect.

Last method:

We do a regular jailbreak (PwnTool, redsn0w...)

Read errors, if any.
* Sometimes simply running such diagnostics solves some of the problems.
** For APT to work, the APT and Aptitude packages from Cydia must be installed.

I'll start with a few typical problems and manuls according to their decision.

1. Cydia crashes immediately after loading or encountered a section with no package header

"error screen"

Decide this problem can be done in two ways:

• Using any file manager, go to the folder //var/lib/apt/lists/ and delete all the files in it, and also delete all the files in the subfolder //var/lib/apt/lists/partial.
  We overload the body and enjoy the result.
  According to unconfirmed information, you can also clean the /var/lib/dpkg/updates/ directory.
• Download the archive, unzip it, connect the body to the PC and run the script.
  After executing the script, we reboot the body, go into the media and update. We are happy with the result.

When adding new repo, errors of dead or temporarily broken repositories may appear, and a Bzip2 error may appear when loading Cydia.

Let's solve this problem:

• If there are problems with repositories that are built in (bigBoss, iSpazio, etc), then with any file manager we go to the folder //etc/apt/sourses.list.d and delete the file with the name of the problematic repository.
  Don’t forget to make a backup on PC/Mac first (preferably the entire sources.list.d folder).
• If there are problems with repositories that were added manually, then you can simply delete them through Cydia (Manage-Sources-edit).
• If there are problems with repo that are installed in batches, then we also remove them via Cydia (Manage-Packages-select repo--modify-remove).

3. The repository is not added.

When adding new repo, errors may appear, for example "not found".

Possible solutions depending on the problem:

• Repository not available (does not work in at the moment). -> Read the forum, maybe someone reported this.
• The address entered is incorrect. -> Check the spelling of the name (many people forget to put " / " at the end of the title)
• No network. -> Check the network connection (for example, istat - ping www.ru)

Reboot the device.

5. The Cydia icon has disappeared:

The Cydia icon disappeared after installing new packages and respring does not return it.
You can solve this problem like this:
1) Copy the Cydia icon.png icon to your computer from /applications/cydia.app
2) Kill her (icon.png) on ​​the body
3) Respring, a white icon should appear on the springboard.
4) Copy the Cydia icon (icon.png) from your computer back to /applications/cydia.app
5) Respring.
6. Problems with connection via wafer (WiFi)

Symptoms:
Connect via waffle - load resources - cache error - one click (switch through tabs) - crash!
Connection via EDGE - everything works fine!
The waffle is 100% working! Both mail and safari work on the body, but Sidia doesn’t want to!

Let's solve this problem

• Oddly enough, after a couple of days everything returns to normal on its own; if you’re not in a hurry, you can wait.
• The problem may appear due to dependencies in Cydia that involve the libgcc library. To solve the problem, you can install a patch.
  Patchik advised geniusan, dug it up somewhere)

Reinstalling Cydia (3 methods):

• In a terminal or via SSH, type the following:
• If installed!
  Download download Cydia v.1.1.3 and place it on the body (/var/mobile).
  Open iFile and go to the /var/mobile folder.
  Click on the thrown dab
  Select Installer
  After the message "Installed with code 0" close iFile and reboot the body

What are the most annoying things about Cydia? You may be experiencing one of any of these problems: Cydia won't open; Cydia won't load after downloading it with your mobile iDevices; Cydia doesn't work at all; Cydia has failed and it won't load. If any of the above things happen, it's not cool at all. We don't want this to happen. If you're experiencing any of these problems with Cydia, here's what you can do to significantly resolve the issues.

Option 1: Cydia failure It is normal to see Cydia failure after the jailbreak process. If there is an error message saying “x HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error” (“x HTTP/1.1 500 Internal error server"), this usually means the installation procedure has not been completed. Something went wrong during installation. Your Cydia will not work even if you try to reboot your device.

Solution: If you are using some of , then you will jailbreak, perhaps you could re-jailbreak your device and reinstall Cydia. This is a quick and easy way to solve this problem.

Option 2: Cydia won't load This is often seen as Cydia won't load with the message “Unable to Load (the internet connection appears to be offline)”("Unable to load (appears to access the Internet in offline mode)."

Solution A: Check your internet connection and see if it is working correctly. In some cases, Cydia is unable to download if you are connected to the Internet using mobile data because the connection is too slow. Other possible reason This problem is due to the time and date settings in your device. You'll have to make sure it's correct and it matches the server time. Although this may not be a problem, but we have experienced it before.

Option 3: Cydia not working or Cydia not opening at all Sometimes, Cydia will not load, will not work, or will not be able to open at all even when you try to reboot your device. This is definitely disappointing, especially when it keeps backing up every time you click on the brown Cydia logo and try to launch it.

Solution A: One of the reasons this could have happened is there are too many connections to the Cydia server when trying to download it. You may not be able to download Cydia completely although the screen shows you it is completely done. This is because the server receives a lot of traffic and no one can download Cydia or any other packages when the server is down. What you can do is reinstall Cydia itself via SSH programs or wait for a couple of hours until the server quits. You can always download latest version Cydia Deb file and install the latest version on your mobile iDevices.

Option 4: Cydia won't load the package you downloaded You just downloaded some packages and installed a few settings from Cydia, but you can't find them under Cydia -> Manage -> Packages -> Installed Tweaks. There are no icons displayed on the home screen either.

Solution: First of all, don't panic. Everything could be simpler than you think. Try rebooting or Respring device and see if the packages appear in the installed recipe. If it doesn't work, check and see how many Cydia sources you have in your device. Cydia may not show all packages if you have too many sources stored in your device's memory. Try deleting some unused Cydia sources and reloading the installed settings list. This will work for sure.

For untethered jailbreak iOS 9 was not without its bugs. In the process of hacking their device, some users managed to stumble upon bugs: some did not fulfill all the requirements before starting the hack, others were simply unlucky. In this article, we will talk about the most common problems and errors in iOS 9.

Cydia did not appear after jailbreak

It also happens that after successfully hacking iOS 9, the coveted Cydia icon never appeared on home screen. In this case, open the Photos app on your iOS device, then the Pangu app and allow access to photos. Having completed these simple steps, you will see the Cydia icon on the springboard.

Cydia crashes and won't launch

The Cydia store icon appears, but the store does not launch. Only one method will help - resetting all settings. First, back up all your data. After that, go to the Settings application - General - Reset - Erase content and settings. Next, perform a clean iOS installation 9.0.2.

Tweaks do not appear in Settings

In this case you need to wait new version tweak PreferenceLoader, which has not yet received compatibility with iOS 9. It is he who is responsible for configuring tweaks in the settings.

Last week. Jailbreak works quite well, although, as always, it is not without problems.

Some users are complaining that they are unable to launch Cydia after successfully jailbreaking their device through Pangu. Cydia does not open or immediately crashes, and it is impossible to work with it and install tweaks.

If you encounter this, try repeating the following steps to make the problem go away:

Comment. Please be patient as you will need to restore your device to factory settings and restore it from an iTunes backup.

• If you have encryption configured backup copies, disable this setting and make a full, unencrypted backup of your device via iTunes.

• Place the device in DFU-mod.
  • Connect it to your computer.
  • Turn off the device by pressing Power button and swiping across the slide.
  • Hold Power for 3 seconds.
  • Without releasing Power, press and hold Home for 10 seconds.
  • Release Power while continuing to hold Home until a pop-up from iTunes appears, notifying you that you have entered recovery mode.

• iTunes will tell you that the device is in recovery mode. Click on Restore iPhone... to start the restoration process to iOS 9.0.2.

• Once the process starts, select the option to restore your device as new. Don't use backup yet.

• Download the latest version of Pangu from here.

• Jailbreak your device using Pangu.

• This is very important step. Before launching Cydia Make sure that “Airplane mode” is disabled and that your iOS device is connected to the Internet.

• Launch Cydia and let it load completely. Don't click Home. When Cydia loads, your device will automatically restart.

• Now log into iTunes on your device and restore from the backup.

All. Cydia should now work without errors.

Cydia crash after installing tweak

There are reports of problems with Cydia after installing the tweak. If you can't open Cydia after installing a tweak, try the Volume Up key trick. Namely:

• Press and hold Power until the power off slider appears.
• Swipe the slide to turn off the device.
• Now press and hold the Volume Up key.
• Start the device by pressing Power.

As a result, all Substrate tweaks will be disabled, including the one that caused the problem, and Cydia should start normally. Uninstall the problematic tweak (or recently installed tweaks) to avoid repeating the error. After the tweak is removed, do not forget to restart your device so that you can use the tweaks again.
