Source Issues with Cydia

**HudsonMC** · 03-02-2011, 07:56 AM

I jailbroke yesterday with GreenPois0n and everything seemed fine at first. I installed one app from Cydia (biteSMS) and was in the process of installing another, but received a call in the middle of the install. I don't know if that means anything, but my Cydia is broken now. My installed packages do not show up, neither do my sources, and the search function does not work. All of the featured apps, themes, etc are navigable, but when I try to go to the page for one I receive this error:

Because cydia is broken, I can't install an SSH tool, so I don't know how to reinstall Cydia. I do, however, have a copy of i-funbox if that will help.

I would like to avoid restoring if at all possible. I don't have a recent backup (I know, stupid) unless there is somewhere I'm not aware of that a backup is stored every time I Sync? I just don't want to avoid loosing saved data, saved games, etc.

Any ideas? Thanks guys, have a good one.

Go to the changes tab and hit the refresh button up on top. It should load up all your sources again.

I apologize. I should've included in my original post that I've already tried this. No Dice.

Try this: SSH or use a usb file explorer program and go to var/lib/dpkg/updates and delete all the updates.

Ok, I'm sorry for wasting y'all's time with this question. I'm going to post my solution so others having a similar problem and searching to forums may learn from me.

on a recommendation from another friend, I simply backed up my iphone in itunes, restored to factory original settings, then restored from the back up. It restored all my contacts, data, saved games, even call log and text message history. I will re-jailbreak later this afternoon and everything should be good this time. I did not realize a back up saved all of that information. Thanks for looking and answering guys. Have a good one.
