YOU MUST HAVE OPENSSH INSTALLED, AND YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO ACCESS YOUR IPHONE OR IPODS DATABASE THROUGH AN SFTP CLIENT.

If you added a source that causes Cydia to crash, this is the thread for you. This will help you remove the buggy source you added.

You will need an ftp/sftp client. [WinSCP for Windows/Cyberduck for Mac]

1. SSH into your iPhone/iPod, hopefully you know how to do that.

2. Go to the root of your iPhone/iPod [/].

3. Navigate to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cydia.list

4. Download the Cydia.list to your computer and open it using any text editor.

5. Delete the source you added. For example, "deb http://www.iphone.org.hk/apt/ ./" if this is the source you want to delete, simply delete that one line. NOT THE WHOLE DOCUMENT. Make sure you save the document as is. We are NOT adding any extensions.

6. Drag the saved document into the sources.list.d folder and replace the file.

7. Respring.

ALL DONE!

@metaljay

Happens to me too - did you find a solution?

I looked into doing this, but the directory mentioned didn't have that file. Instead, it had a bunch of .list files... presumably one for each source. Tried deleting the source .list file that was slowing down my Cydia (MacCiti), but no luck (permissions).

Searched some more and found that you just go into the search section and find the original package (source) by searching for it... it should have a green check beside it and you just select it and remove it. Voila'... very simple.

hi guys..

i'm getting an error evrytime i go into Cyida now.. it won;t update the packages and throws a wobbly everytime..

the error i get is:


Error: Refreshing Data



the method driver
/usr/lib/apt/methods/Http could not
be found

the method driver
/usr/lib/apt/methods/Http could not
be found

and then times out.. the last update i had was on the 18th of jan..

anybody else have this problem or know how to fix this..

[s70n3y]

im not sure where to post and i didnt want to make another thread, but a problem i am having (as well as the one mentioned by everyone else), is that whenever i got to install anything from cydia it automatically adds install0us to the list of things being downloaded. i already have install0us so this causes my ipod to loose its mind trying to overwirte install0us. in short its getting really irritating and i have tried everything to resolve it myself

[Brandon Neft]

Thanks a Million!!! I was getting so ticked off!!!
