Cydia crashes when Hitting Changes tab

[Hamdan510]

I have a iphone 4 jailbreaked it with GP 4.2.1 for windows, it worked fine for a couple of days and now it crashes when i hit the changes tab. Is there a way to delete and reinstall cydia wiithout restoring and re jailbreaking it allover.

I also tried deleteing cydia by removing it through cydia installer and it deleted cydia but when i go to the loader app it say cydia is installed on iphone and i know its been delete. Please help thanks

No just read and be extra careful when installing packages use trusted sources and make sure the package is 4.2.1 compatible. But i think this is a weakness in the rc5 jailbreak. Youll be algud now

No problem! Glad i could help

Just install using ifile. Or paste in var/tmp and open mobileterminal and type

dpkg -i var/tmp/cydiafile.deb

With cydiafile being the new version of cydia downloaded

Not sure if I did anything wrong or not but I just dropped the file into Applications and again in the Cydia app within Applications and it worked lol. My problem was different though, just got my phone replaced today so I rejailbreak with GP but nothing would load on Cydia, it was fail to even 'download' the first screen let alone try to download the stuff in the changes tab. I did this though and everything's working, not sure if it was the reboot or that file but it's cool now.

Sweet as. Sounds like it may have just needed a reboot

Good stuff!

Another thing is there a guide. Say if it crashes again do u recommend deleting file or just install cydia over previous cydia.
