    Question reinstalling cydia

    A few months ago, I had problems with cydia crashing every time I launched it. I SSH'd and was able to delete cydia from my phone. I had been running cydia with OS 3.0 with no problems for a month prior to this. I already have every useful app installed from cydia, but I would still like to get new stuff from time to time.

    I used this youtube video to attempt a reinstall

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaS8Pz2Ph2k]YouTube - How To Fix Cydia Crashing on any Firmware! (Reinstall of Cydia without restoring or rejialbraking)[/ame]

    but got into an error numerous times after trying to install the deb file.

    If anyone knows an easy way to do this short of a restore and rejailbreak it would be greatly appreciated.

    I think you need APT 0.7 HTTPS installed.

    Check out other posts on fixing this. Install latest version of cydia over existing with ifile. If you dont have ifile or mobileterminal and cant install them then try ssh and drop new cydia into /cydia/autoinstall

    How do I get and install the newest version of cydia. I really think since I went into applications and deleted cydia from my phone while in SSH or using winSPC. I don't think the file exists anymore. I am running version 3.1.3 7E18 . Since I dont have cydia icon I don't seem to be able to get anywhere. I do have terminal (not mobile terminal) unless its the same program. and I have ifile. I was under the impression that when i used comex to jailbreak my phone since the first statement was SSH your phone so you will always be able to restore it? I just don't know how. NOOB!! Any Help would be appreciated. Also dont understand how to drop New cydia into /cydia/autoinstall nor do i understand I think you need APT 0.7 HTTPS installed. how do i install onto my phone?? Please help

    So does i file work?

    Just download the newest cydia
    http://onlinegamesnz.orconhosting.ne...honeos-arm.deb
    Drop the deb into var/tmp via SSH

    Open ifile navigate to var/tmp and tap the cydia deb file.

    Choose install

    Should say finished with result code 0

    in terminal...

    apt-get remove Cydia

    'yes, do as I say!'

    reboot...

    apt-get install Cydia

    if the above doesn't work, apt-get remove Cydia and then reinstall with greenp0sion, redsn0w etc etc
