Cydia problems Fix

If you've used Cydia for a while, you know that it sometimes just messes up... Most of the time, if you're installing, or updating an app, and Cydia crashes, you'll end up with an issue of it being unable to open... Generally, this is easily resolved... Sometimes, it can be tricky... But the following will fix your Cydia refusing to open MOST of the time. There are some issues that require a different method, but before you go re-jailbreaking, try this first...

This particular issue is caused by corrupt files in /var/lib/dpkg/updates. 
Deleting them fixes this Cydia issue. I can't guarantee that will fix ALL Cydia crashes but it has worked for many people, including myself.

There are a few methods to delete them.

Quote:
Open MobileTerminal on the phone and type "rm /var/lib/dpkg/updates/*" (without quotes) and hit enter. (Make sure you include the "*")

Use the apps iFile or Discover from Cydia to browse to /var/lib/dpkg/updates/ and swipe the files then select delete, or in iFile select edit, check all the files, then tap the trash can at the bottom.

SSH into the phone and type "rm /var/lib/dpkg/updates/*" (without quotes) and hit enter. (Make sure you include the "*")

Immediately following this, try and restart Cydia (it might take 2 tries, once to clear a temp file, and the second to open)... It should then open just fine. If the problem still exists, reinstall cydia   Cydia v1.1.3.deb

THE TRUE HISTORY OF THE IPHONE JAILBREAK (all noobs please read)

Image
When he was 17,  George Hotz  poured hundreds of hours of his summer vacation into a special project: learning the iPhone’s secrets [working with the  Dev-Team ]. His unpaid labor eventually paid off. With the help of a soldering iron, he was the first to unlock the iPhone [publicly, and against the agreement made with the  Dev-Team ] delivering the handset to international networks before Apple had a chance to. He got some perks, too. His unlock catapulted him to internet stardom, catching the eye of an entrepreneur who traded his Nissan 350Z car for Hotz’s restriction-free iPhone. Hotz, now 20, makes a living as a “hacker for hire” of sorts — getting paid to break into different types of gadgets. He gets to spend his free time unofficially attending a college [Google University], where he pretends to be a student just to socialize.  What’s best, Hotz didn’t think unlocking the iPhone was even hard. “It did take 500 hours, but thinking back to some of the s...
