A lot of you may have been experiencing Cydia crashing over and over again since the 28th of December. This has happened because of a mal-functioning source which has been added to your Cydia (rumor has it that it is Zodttd that has a problem) but luckily there is a very simply solution to your problem so do not restore your device. Here is how to do fix your device:
There are actually two fixes for this. The first depends on you having installed AP7 on your device. If you have that, you can simply enter these commands into MobileTerminal and you should be OK.
- Su root (Enter)
- *Your password* (Enter – most likely alpine if you haven’t changed it)
- apt-get update
This command will update your lists and therefore opening Cydia should not be a problem any longer.
For the people who have NOT got AP7 installed, check all the instructions on how to fix on this page. Make sure you look at the ones in the comments as well because they seem to work the best.
You must also remove the Zodttd source or else this problem will happen again. Remove it by going into the Manage tab on Cydia, clicking sources, clicking Edit and then deleting the Zodttd source.
