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.

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
