    Default Reinstall Cydia only? Possible?

    Is this possible?
    Without a restore?

    Yes this is possible. Go into cydia, go to search, and type in cydia. Once you locate the cydia application, click on it. Click on modify on the top right, And you can choose to 'remove' or 're-install' the application. Or any app. Good luck

    In Cydia, go to Manage then Packages then Cydia Installer. Tap Modify and you can Reinstall.

    You can SSH into your iphone. your apps are located in a folder called STASH/Applications. you can delete the folder from here. But then you will need quikpawn to reinstall cydia/installer. you won't have to re-jail break

    I know how to SSH into my iPhone
    So I just delete Cydia under /Applications
    Then open QuickPwn and download the stock iPhone 2.1 firmware(I'm also unlocked) and and then what?

    2. Double-click on status-old and copy ALL script in there.
    3. Create new file called: status
    4. Paste all script into the file status
    5. save and then now ON YOUR IPHONE go into terminal

    My Cydia closes as soon as it opens (blank window for 0.5-1 second).

    What can I do to fix it?

    I have 1.1.4 JailBroken and Unlocked with iLiberty.
