Completely Remove and Re-Install Cydia

koolguyluis · 07-05-2010, 06:13 PM

Hello, I am having issues with cydia and I have tried absolutely EVERYTHING to get rid of them.

At this point i am pissed and just want to remove cydia completely and do a fresh install.

I am a windows vista user using WinSCP in order to SSH.

I've already installed a deb but all that did was reinstall cydia with the same errors as before.

Does anyone here know how to COMPLETELY remove cydia with the sources and the cache, EVERYTHING.

so that I can install it fresh?

thanks.

Im sure theres an easier way but one way is to do a full restore and rejailbreak your device

Well, since apple stopped signing 3.1.3 firmware

Can someone help me out with this problem?

It would be great if somebody could really give the info how to handle this issue.

Uninstall Cydia ... and use the .deb-file for reinstall.

Thanx in advance and time and effort for givin that info

Yeah, I have the same problem. I was hoping for an easier answer as 5000 songs takes a long time to restore
