I had cydia installed working properly when today out of the blue I launch it and it kicks me right back to the springboard. I of course, assume this to be a permissions problem and set my permissions to 777 on the necessary files, so I decided to uninstall using
apt-get uninstall cydia
and then I try to reinstall and I get this error

Couldn't register with bootstrap server unknown error code (0x44f); failing...
383: ABORT: Unable to register "UnknownPurpleApp" port, 1103 unknown error code

I tried using installer and I get Main Script Execution Failed


any Ideas?


EDIT: After uninstalling with that code the icon was still there so I pressed it... now it runs again... so odd but Im glad it works

messed up my iphone

I love this app! I actually install right after unlocking my newly restored iPhone instead of the BSD Subsystem. I am still using installer as well so I kinda have the best of both worlds.

SWeET Installing it noww

I just want to point out that I also had the repetitive "Main script execution failed" error when installing things via Installer after trying to use Cydia without installing BSD Subsystem first.

It doesn't work, guys. Everyone should be aware of this. Some kind of permissions-related thing happens when you install BSD Subsystem that Cydia doesn't do. So, while Cydia is awesome and all, you should really install BSD Subsystem and then Cydia ON TOP of that.

Why do I know that something permissions related happens? I launched Installer from the command line from ssh logged in as root and all of my Main script execution errors went away. When I logged in as mobile, I got errors about how the script couldn't write to directories. Caveat emptor.

As an added bonus, Showtime finally started saving videos!

YAY!

Perhaps this can be included in an update to Cydia?...

I have been following your progress with pericam over the past few days.

Im somehow not convinced downloading and installing the BSD subsystem manually is a smart move.

The fix to our problem should be provided by cydia.
Just out of curisoity did you install the complete BSD subsystem or only the files needed to get pericam to work ?

I only installed the files/paths mentioned and not the complete BSD Subsystem.

As an aside, I've actually ditched Pericam all together!...

• Partly because even after my 'fix' I noticed that it was not saving the photos anywhere.
• Partly because I didn't have an actual use for it apart from what 1shot now provides (see my previous post).
• Partly because, after raising this with the Cydia developer and receiving a prompt response that CRON support would be begrudging added, there were some caveats as to why this was not the best solution.
• Partly because I'd had enough of messing around with it!

Is there still no possibility to uninstall Cydia, if needed?

[z3n]

installed it few days ago, and when i refresh the "changes" section by touching that symbol on upper right corner, it just got freezed...
have waited for about 15 mins keep touching the screen periodically for not letting it got timed-out, and still no luck. so i decided to press the home button hoping that it would get close and i'd able to try it again.
but then, everytime i open it, it just got crashed and kicked me back out to the home screen again and again.
had tried to reinstall it again via installer twice with rebooting iphone after, but still no luck.
any solutions please?

I believe you'll find Fake BSD on installer, unless BSD is already instaleed.

I'm seeing a section in Cydia that has 'X Windows' packages. Does this mean I can install an iPhone-compiled version?

[rs6er]

I'm confused by all of these posts. (Newbie) I unlocked my 1.1.4 iphone with ziphone 2.6, installed Cydia. I see the app on my phone. When I hit the install button on the bottom of Cydia, it goes to folder All Packages, but there's nothing in this folder. So how do I use Cydia to install apps, and where do I find the apps for Cydia to install? Do I still use Installer to find the apps? Also, where can I see what Cydia has installed?

First to all developers, I want to say THANK YOU. Because you bring us possibilities and function.

This (Cydia) completely, and I mean completely messed up my iPhone to the point where I can't install anything from Installer. I can't Reinstall BSD. I can't install anything from Cydia, can't uninstall Cydia. I can't open half of my web icons. Safari crashes when trying to go to "More info" in both Cydia and Installer. From what I'm reading, I guess that my permissions were changed.

I'm not really a noob, as I have been Jailbreaking since the first 1.02 jailbreak. But, I'm not a coder or programmer either. I can follow the simplest directions. I don't need to be the first to try out a new app or jailbreak/unlock procedure. I just want to have the options to install and use my 3rd party programs.

I understand the need for open-source packagers, but this program is not for the non-programmer community. I HOPE THAT DEVELOPERS DO NOT ABANDON INSTALLER FOR CYDIA.

Listen: we do not need to have one-click solutions, but we also don't need to spend countless hours researching what just broke my iPhone. But, again, I do want to say thank you for your efforts in bringing this to us. Because you didn't have to.
