    I have installer and Cydia, but Cydia wont launch. It gets me as far as asking what user I am, and then goes back to the home page.

    -I tried downloading the Cydia: Manual Restart though Installer, but all I get is the loading wheel and nothing happens.

    -I tried SSH, but this is all I get:

    apt-get install cydia:
    apt-get remove cydia
    apt-get update
    Nothing is working. How I just manually go into the iPhone and replace the file itself?

    IT's a known bug with the big boss repo, it corrupts Cydia, what you can do is run quickpwn and select only Cydia.

    Will that fix it without erasing everything else?

    Which part is that? Is it after you put it into DFU mode? Cause I dont want to pwn the whole thing, just re-write Cydia.

    nah, it's okay, you can put it into to dfu mode, it will kick it out, i promise:) and you won't have to re install everything:) Are you on a mac?

    unment dependencies means that's on big boss's side or the source's side, don't worry about that and no problem, that's why i'm here, to help:)
