so wait no one is going to answer me? well **** you guys to... im sure im not the only one with this problem!

Whoa whoa whoa....relax buddy! Just try JBing again...if that doesnt work restore.

[StealthBravo]

haha. Take it easy

When I try JBing again, I don't get any new icons. Am I doing something wrong? The blackra1n splashscreen comes up when rebooting and then it just goes to my lockscreen. Again, I then go through my apps and no new icon.

[Melech518]

No, youre not doing anything wrong. The blackra1n app will not appear again after it has been deleted. You'll have to restore if you cannot ssh

I still don't know what to do. I've hacked my Apple tv and much other stuff but I'm new to it with my iPod touch. I used Blackra1n RC3 to jb my iPod. I have a 3rd gen 64 gb. I can open the black rain app and i was able to install rock, and cydia. But cydia will not open. I have done everything suggested so far. I have used rock to reinstall cydia, I have used disk aid to delete the files and no luck. I tried using rock and went to manage and deleted the files there, then searched cydia and reinstalled. Still, it just goes back to the springboard. This is frustrating.. I also restored once already with no luck! What do i do...

I used diskaid to delete all files except the partial folder per OP's instructions, Cydia still crashes. I never had Rock so without Cydia working, I'm stuck.

I appreciate all the help here, but nothing worked until I deleted all the files in /var/lib/dpkg/updates. I did this using DiskAid. Got this info form this link iPhone 3G- Cydia stop Working + Weird things happening! - Mac Forums

Help! Cydia isn't working for me. It just keeps loading on forever. I tried deleting files except Partial and deleting all repos. Rebooted and It still doesn't work. Any suggestions on what to do besides doing the dreadful RESTORE ?

[Jahooba]

Good thing I deleted that horrible repo a long time ago. There's nothing but a bunch of crap on there. Modmyi is the way to go, or BigBoss.
