Can someone please help me out here
By the way i cant even restore to 4.2.1 cuz i get error 3194 also

thanks

Error 3194 occurs when trying to install an old firmware and Apple's server disallows the installation. If previously saved via Cydia, TinyUmbrealla can retrieve from Cydia and serve them to iTunes when needed bypassing the error.

Just FYI you don't need to restore. Go to SBSettings and go to more, select mobilesubstrate addons and then turn off dreamboard.

Go to Cydia, uninstall and reinstall DB. then it should be fine. Just remove the theme and don't try to use it again. It will give you the black screen again.

o wow Annie u saved me
your freaking awesome thanks it worked haha
but i just turned off Dreamboard and went back to normal

i cant download anything form cydia i get a 403 forbidden error
HTTP/1.1 403 forbidden error is what i get

Ok um... Did you uninstall the theme that was being problematic? You want to manually uninstall dreamboard then install again rather than use the reinstall option. But do that after you delete the theme causing the problem.

As for your Cydia error I want to say it's just a server being down right now. Or your Internet connection maybe?

[Wendee1982]

yes i dont have the theme no more i deleted the whole dreamboard app using ifile
how can i uninstall it manually?

nothing i do in Cydia seems to work
i get a error for everything
i think is just my iphone cuz i tried on my itouch4g and seems to work fine
if i have to restore Annie i can but only to 4.2.1 not upgrade to 4.3
was just saying if i have to

@I.Annie,
What if she reinstalled Cydia? That might fix it...right?

is that possible? i know i can rejailbreak but i dont know if that will fix it tho

[thazsar]

It's not rejailbreaking...ur phone is already jailbroken. Cydia is just an App to access 'other' apps/tweaks for ur phone. Cydia can be uninstalled and reinstalled just like any other app you have on your phone.....it just takes a little mote effort to reinstall it

[i.Annie]

Cydia shouldn't have become a problem. You could try to reinstall Cydia but if you have to restore you'd want to check if you have SHSHs for 4.2.1

I figured that it's somewhere else I'm the phone BUT at least she might get Cydia working again...idk!

@Wendee1982
-go into iFile and get to the Root (/) directory.
-scroll to the top so you see the 'Search' function.
-tap Heirarchy
-type in Dreamboard
-DELETE anything related to Dreamboard
-Respring

See if that works!

[Wendee1982]

i have my 4.2.1 shh saved but for reason i keep getting error 3194
thazsar will try that now

@thazsar did that and still getting error on cydia
i should just restore cuz this is becoming a pain right now

[Wendee1982]

If someone can tell me how to bypass the error 3194 I'll restore but I'm havin some issue with it
Tinyumbrella won't let me click start TSS server

Do this first:

Sorry for the delay in responding...

Tools needed:
Safari Download Manager
iFile

1. Get the cydia 1.1.1 deb file via Safari Download Manager: http://www11.multiupload.com:81/file...ia%201.1.1.zip

2. Use iFile and UNARCHIVE the folder

3. Open the Cydia 1.1.1 Folder and COPY the 'cydia_1.1.1_iphoneos-arm.deb' file

4. Go to: /var/root/Media and PASTE the cydia deb file here

5. Now go to: /var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall and PASTE the Cydia deb file here, too.

***you might have to create the Cydia and AutoInstall folders. If so, pay attention to the capitalization! You might even need to create the Media folder if it isn't inside the /var/root/ folder***

6. Go back to the /var/root/Media folder and TAP on the Cydia deb file

7. INSTALL the Cydia deb file

8. Now REBOOT your phone.

My instructions were to get Cydia working again. Not for restoring.

Follow the steps I gave you BUT first, w/ iFile, go to /Applications and delete Cydia.app

Then do the steps above

[thazsar]

If u really need to restore, follow these instructions:

iTunes Restore Errors 3194, 1600, 1015, 1013, etc.: iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch

[Wendee1982]

I followed your instruction to fix Cydia but I'm still getting the error
I figured there's nothing else but yo restore so thats why I said it
