Cydia
Cydia is a replacement packaging and repository manager for the original Installer.app for the iPhone or iPod touch. It was created by Jay Freeman to replace BSD Subsystem and Installer.app. Cydia is a UI frontend to his Open Source APT for Debian called Telesphoreo. Cydia pomonella is the scientific name for the codling moth, which is what we often think of the as the stereotypical apple worm.
To get Cydia you need to have Installer.app already. Then just add http://apptapp.saurik.com/ as a source to Installer and install the package “Cydia Installer” from the “System” category.
Cydia itself looks similar to Installer.app but add many improvements to organization, functionality and performance of Installer. With Cydia you:
See the number of apps in each category
See details of what installing each app include such as file size and functionality added
Search for apps by name
See changes to your currently installed apps and available upgrades
See details of currently installed app and easily manage them
Currently with the release of the iPhone 3G which comes with OS 2.0 and the related iPhone pwnage tools many of the apps written for the older Installer.app have to be ported over so developers are working on that. In the next few weeks you will start to see more and more apps in Cydia with lots of cool new features, so check back often.
Note: The quick and easy way to get Cydia on your iPhone is to install it using QuickPwn.
Update: For Windows users with the iPhone 2.1 software update, you can get both Cydia and Installer on your iPhone really quickly and easily by installing the QuickPwn software on your Windows PC. The entire process is streamlined and takes only a few minutes.
Update: Ultrasn0w for iPhone 3G or 3GS is ready. You can now jailbreak and unlock your iPhone 3G or 3GS with OS 3.0 firmware.
1. Ensure you have upgraded to iPhone OS 3.0
2. Jailbreak your iPhone 3G using redsn0w or PwnageTool & if you have the 3GS use the purplera1n installer app to jailbreak it instead. (after this step you will have Cydia)
3. Run Cydia
4. Add the repo repo666.ultrasn0w.com to Cydia. (that last o is actually the number zero)
5. Search for ‘ultrasn0w’ in cydia and install ultrasn0w
6. Reboot your iPhone 3G
7. T-Mobile USA users should disable 3G before using ultrasn0w
Update: Purplesn0w can also unlock your iPhone 3GS, so use it instead of Ultrasn0w if you wish. The steps are exactly the same as the above. Only use this repo source in Cydia apt.geohot.com and install Purplesn0w from there.
Update: If you have OS 3.1.2 you can use blackra1n or PwnageTool 3.1.4 to jailbreak and get Cydia installed on your iPhone or iPod touch.
Use iPhone mods and hacks at your own risk! Installing 3rd Party iPhone apps requires you to jailbreak the iPhone before installing the native software and apps. Browse the full list of all iPhone and iPod touch native 3rd party apps filed under the software category.

is this ilegal i mean i have my iphone via contract so do i get any trouble if i use this? like can my iphone become useless or something?
How do u get rid of the app because I go into installer to try and uninstall it but it only let’s me reinstall it so can u plz help me. Thanks.
i think you jailbraek and unluck your phone esaly you can return the native app at any time, all you need to connect it back to itune and your iphone is back as orginal. I already unluck my iphone yestrday and it work same as it was only i have the cydia app icon
Yep, it works perfectly. It takes a while when you originally install it to your phone (but it works) nice work team! Once I installed the Ipwn app it locked up my phone a few times… but after I updated the apps it worked perfect.
Cydia is starting to shape up now
I’m starting to see some new original Apps in there now. Keep up the good work guys!!
i think this is the coolest game ever.
Good job guys, Cydia works….The only prob;lem I’ve now is Syncing my iPhone with my Laptop which has the new version of iTunes!!! every time I connect my iPhone to my Laptop I get the blue screen of Death. need help guys please?
Thx, Gus
how do you get Cydia on a hacked iPhone with 1.1.4 software? I’ve tried to install software 2.0 on it through an iTunes update, but the phone froze after that. (had to get the phone restored to 1.1.4)
Thanks for any help
Cydia is the best, its better than installer. I have a iPhone wit the firmware 1.1.4 and I have gradet up to 2.0.2 wit Quickpwn, it s the best toll to active jailbreak and unlock the iPhone.
how do i download it on my iphone 3G
how do i download Cydia
on my iphone 3G 2.0.2
hello, do you know how to get ringtones imported into iphone w/o having to purchase from itunes
thanks
jose
So far, I see alot of questions and no answers. That seems broken to me. Oh well, looks like I get no help here.
cydia is not for 1.1.4 so if you have 1.1.4 you should be using Installer.app not Cydia. To get Cydia you need to have Installer.app already. Then just add http://apptapp.saurik.com/ as a source to Installer and install the package “Cydia Installer” from the “System” category.
I agree with SGTSims, too many questions with no real answers & a lot of BS…..I’m very disappointed?????
hi, i m using Iphone 3G 2.0.2 Is this work with 3G iphone? thanks in advance
yes you can just get QuickPwn here http://www.appsafari.com/software/6034/quickpwn/
I downloaded this and installed it with very little trouble. The instructions were pretty clear and the process was not difficult.
(Here comes the, “But”)
After 3 days of trying to get it to work with all kinda of third party downloads, I see that it’s only capable of working with apps from it’s own separate database of programs.
I have not been able to get anything from the iTunes website to download with this installer.
After asking for help from the technical dept twice, I have given up from lack of response. I guess all that’s left to do is find out how to reset the iPod back to the factory settings and then find some other way to jailbreak it.
Hope this helps someone out there.
Wow never heard that before. Dood you don’t need Cydia in that case, there should already be the App Store icon there if not you have to upgrade your iphone software in iTunes. Also in iTunes you see a button called Restore or when you are syncing. It will reset your phone, make sure you have backups.
Ahh, good help, friend. That works for me. I will try that. TYVM
Hi,how do i get install cydia to my new 3G iphone?
Okay, reset went alright. And, with a reinstall, something weird happened. (Surprise!) I have three applications downloaded. They all appear in iTunes in the Application section. But, only one of them made it onto the iPod.
In the Applications section, all the items there are greyed out like there’s something keeping them from syncing. Is there some way to get that part un-greyed so that I can check the boxes and get the Apps onto my iPod?
ihpone orginal verison 2.0.2 jailbroken how do i get ringtones with a cydia program?
Guys, While I was attempting to restore my Jail Broken 3G iphone to its original state, a Steve jobs Russian Cartton popped out of my phone screen & will not go away….Any idea on what to do? please need solutions..

hey cydia is only for unlocked(jailbroken) phone………u have a 2 yrs contract
In order to get Cydia or Installer, you have to jailbreak the Iphone using the program called ” Quickpwn ” for Windows or ” Pwnage ” for Macs. Remember the Iphones have different firmwares. The latest are 2.1 and 2.2 . So first download Quickpwn 2.1 or 2.2 version. Then download Iphone 3g 2.1 or 2.2 ipsw (firmware) respectively. If you don’t know where to get Quickpwn or ipsw, google them. Then run the Quickpwn and follow the procedures step by step. At certain point, the Quickpwn will ask you whether you want to add Cydia, Installer, or Replace Boot Logos. Of course, you want to add them. The tricky part is to put Iphone into recovery mode ( DFU mode by holding power and home button ). If you do it right, Quickpwn will jailbreak your Iphone automatically. Tadada. With Cydia, you can install Cycorder ( Camcorder ), Mixtube ( download youtube to your phones ), Winterboard ( Changing your homescreen ) , Pdanet ( using Iphone as modem ) and other incredible apps that Itunes won’t provide. Check the youtube for video instructions.
cydia is super software
actually I have already used this software it is better than installer
me too, this program is great
i have cyida and i updated it and now every-time i click it it disapears and goes back to my regular screen i think i need to reinstall cydia but i dont kno how what should i do any suggestions?
i have installed ILOG on my i phone from cydia installer but my credit card could not be processed by your system so please inform me if you have other means of payment like bank transfer or else
Had the same problem. I had to restore my iphone via itunes. Then reinstalled cydia. Everything seems okay for now. I read some other forums that the Kate app might be the culprit but not sure. I also installed cydia on my wifes phone and it worked the first time.
You can Jailbreak your iphone 3G even if its on a contract just make sure that when your it on a software like Pwnage make sure you unselect “Activate iPhone” before continuing the process. it is illegal and it does violate your warranty jailbreaking. you can always restore it to factory settings if something goes wrong or if you simply change your mind later on.
cydia is a good one or not? i hv little confussion… pls give idea to unlock my 3g iphone without any problem in my future.. thanks in advance to all frnds.
Have not yet gone to a forum where ppl have not encountered problems with jailbreaking their iphone.
Disappointed as I and most would be with some missing functions, ie MMS, Bluetooth file transfer and video, I would prefer Apple to address these issues by way of pressure from customers.
The hot tip is, unless you are an expert at hacking…..
DON’T FCUKING DO IT!!!!
I just got an ipod touch and I was wondering if there was ANY way to get cydia on here?
No, it’s perfectly legal. Apple doesn’t like people doing it, but they can’t do anything about it. As US citizens, by law we have the right to modify something that is our property. If you legally bought your iPhone, there should be no problem. But be warned, Apple will not help you if you break your iPhone Jailbreaking it.
I Quickpwned my iPhone 3G a few days ago, after a couple of months reading about the subject. I was actually terrified of something going wrong.
QuickPwn is a piece of cake. That’s it, my iPhone worked like a charm. I have never been happier!
I realy need help I can’t find out how to get Cydia on my iPod touch cause I realy need it so plese help me
I have Iphone 3g 2.2 and it has the app store but i can’t find any application that changes my theme except for summerboard or winterboard which both requires me to jailbreak my iphone?is there any alterenative choice than jailbreaking my iphone in order to get themes.What is the harm if i jailbreak my iphone except for ending my warnaty with apple.
Hey there! I am also heavily researching jailbreaking my IPhone. O you’re glad that you finally did it, huh? Now after I jailbreak….. is the Apple App Store still there and accesible? And all of my previously donloaded apps from the app store? do they still work on a jailbroken phone? and if so, do i have to download them again? does jailbreaking your phone pretty much “reset” it?

Hey guys I have a quick question. If I jailbreak my phone, will I lose all the apps I have already downloaded? And will I still have the app store? Ty
Ok yesterday i jailbroken my iphone everything works good and the app store is good nothing wrong with it. But your problem about the apps u downloaded before. Yes the hole jailbreaking thing resets your iphone so you must have backed up your i phone before u had jailbroken it so u can easily reconnect your iphone again after jailbreaking it and the itunes will sync the games and the music and the contacts that u had before on the iphone before u jailbroken it.Besides that the iphone works just fine.Need any further help

how do i download cydia plz iv been trying to find out for weeks
Go to the top of this website, and search for an app called QuickPwn, its a piece of cake
“No, it’s perfectly legal.” this is incorrect you are modifying a copyright protected software. You have a license not an ownership. However apple will not stop people because then sales would drop. So it is not legal but i will do it anyway.
hey guys how i get cydia in my iphne icon please tell me cancinocesar@yahoo.com
so you have to jailbreak your iPod to get cydia
I can see quite a few people have the same problem I am getting, which is that we have successfully jailbroken iPhone 3g’s and have been using installer and cydia fine but it has just stopped working for some reason with the error message “cannot open source”. I am guessing their is a problem with the source as I can load other sources okay. I am just waiting to see if this will sort itself out. If anyone knows what the problem is, please post here, thanks! I ran quickpwn again, which worked okay but still can’t download Cydia updates.
I don’t get it. what do you guys mean by backing up your phone?,and I am still thinking if I should jailbreak my iPhone or not. also noticed that some of you guys have problems using it.
plus I’m using the iphone 3G version 2.2 and ive read somewhere that they need the 2.1 version for iPhone 3G ?
Is it really true?,
Problem solved for me, in case anyone needs to know. Backed up all data by syncing with iTunes then restored to latest firmware (2.2.1) then ran quickpwn again. Cydia works fine now! Had to dl all cydia apps again tho
vomito??
Okay guys I just want to help you guys out here, Ive been reading above and a lot of you have a lot of questions. So if you want to alter your springboard (home screen) as in make a user wallpaper appear under your apps, get a new theme, or anything like that, you HAVE to jailbreak! Meaning if you have a Windows computer then you would use QuickPwn or WinPwn (which is normally more favorable to unlock and vice-versa with QuickPwn and Jailbreaking) so to jailbreak you run QuickPwn and the program will walk you right through it unless of course your a total noob. If you don’t trust my word then go to YouTube and let a video follow you through it. The same is with WinPwn but you can go a little more in depth with changing boot logos and the like. If you have Mac then you would use the Pwnage tool, which is much more stable that, of course, windows programs of the same nature. You can also unlock with it. Jailbreaking WILL void your warranty with Apple but in the longrun it’s definately worth it! You can Cut&Paste, MMS, Video record and many other things good old Apple refuses to allow for some moronic reason. And if the iphone ever does brick (freeze And become usless) you can almost always use the restore option in iTunes. After that you can just re-jailbreak and that should go smoothly seeing as I’ve jailbroken the iPhone (2g and 3g) a lot of timesAnd never had a brick.
Do we need to pay any app from cydia or it’s free?
And yeah most apps on Cydia or Installer are free but some aren’t like Swirly MMS cost but most are free. I guess Cydia doesn’t like buying apps, this is the reason most games are in the App Store. Because people want to make a profit.
Ok .. I used cydia to get app called winterboard. Then I got another app from Themes (springboard) and I used it to change the look of my iphone. That worked perfectly, but now I cant dial out. I can only dial by using the contacts, but not if i wanted to dial a number thats not in my contacts what shall i do ?
Okay, I can fix this. First, the problem probably wasnt anything from Cydia, almost certain it wasnt Winterboard. Second do you have Installer? (Did you check the Installer box when using your jailbreak software?) I know your prblem - When you go to the phone APP it sets there with no words and you casn use any of the buttons all it will do is crash. I just had this problem last night. DONT restore YET! I can fix this!
Not true, you dont extend your contract or anything like that all you do is alter the baseband. Apple and AT&T cant ever find out about this and besides, its not illegal.
Ok. I uninstalled the Kate thing .. DIdnt work. I rebooted .. Didnt work… Uninstalled the theme,,, Didnt work .. SO i ended up restoring and well just say I can dial out now .. I just had to add all the apps again ..
Yes it actually is legal to jailbreak just not to unlock. Jailbreaking isnt altering its replcing the software completely n00b.
Im $eca of the DEV-Team.
Same wat as on the 1st GEN iPhone.
Please leisten to me when I say this. The application KATE is the reason this happens most of the time. just make sure KATE is installed through Installer (if not reinstall!) then download RiP Dev Preferences. after all of this is Downloaded go to the Settings on your iPhone then go to “RiP Dev” That will be on the first page (dont click General or anything) Under that go to RiP Dev Products then Kate (No the one that has the “X” but the first one) go under it and uncheck “FaceLift” (just click the word) and then click “APPLY” after that it should respring your phone (if not just go to winterboard and highlight then unhighlight something and that should cause a respring. That should fix it.
Whoever this works for can repay me simply by emailing Kyleshankles@yahoo.com and telling me how it went.
DONT RESTORE! You will be going to 2.2.1 which “closes the whole” for jailbreaking at the moment. If this method doesnt work for you please email me cause I have about 15 other methods for repairing this exact problem but 97% of the time this works. JUST TRY IT.
Thanks,
Kyle
No it is legal you idiot! According to congress it is perfectly legal to unlock a phone with the “sole purpose of using to log on to a cellular network” its perfectly legal re nard fard tard hard gard smhamrd
they have a new QuickPwn version vailable for those who have upgraded to 2.2.1
I downloaded it this morning and its worked for me
No, what’s cool about jailbreaking is that you keep everything (settings, pictures, APPS) everything and yes the app store is still accessible none of that is altered.
Not my prob!
how i install
cydia
Where do I go to download sydia?
And how do u jainbrake
how to down load cydia
I’ve recently upgraded to firmware 2.2.1 via iTunes. If I want to jailbreak, what other software must I install beside quickpwn?
Whoops LOL it seems Apple has in fact declared jailbreaking illegal very recently. There so bitchy.
Just quickpwn but if you upgraded to 2.2.1 you will need QuickPwn version 2.2.1 of course. If you want it go to quickpwn.com and it should be on the homepage of that website
after i install cydia using quikpwn v2.2.1. but i cannot update datbase. the problem is error netDB:opennode. host unreacble and error:cached failure. pls help. thanks
I get the same thing but it usually doesnt cause problems. Can you use Cydia at all?

How do you download cydia or installer on your iPod touch?
Where do you download cydia or installer?
Hey I found a really easy way to do this if you are still looking for answers. do a search for i phone school. Go to their website and download quickpwn.when u install this it will give u the option to install cydia as well. after your phone reboots go to cydia icon on your phone and download winterboard. From then on all of the themes and stuff u download throuh cydia will show up under the winterboard icon on your phone. from there simply click on the file to turn it off or on
I use facebook but till I not get any message of this kind and if I will get any message of this kind I will ignore that.
To get then on your iPhone you use a program called QuickPwn find that on quickpwn.com by scrolling down and just reading a bit. You’ll also need the .ipsw file (IPhoneSoftWare) file. Depending what software version your using on your iphone (2.2.1, 2.2, 2.1 etc.) you’ll need to google that in with it. So- Google “iphone 2.2.1 (or your OS version as I stated before - find out what version your on by going on your iPhone under settings>general>about then scroll down to “version” and it will say a number- that’s your OS version.) download the ipsw file then put it somewhere on your computer you can easily find it. Download quickpwn and email this email address and I will give my cell phone number to call you and completely step you through it and explain everything about this to you. I will emAil you back within 6 hours so pls stay at your computer in this time frame.
My email address is: kyleshankles@yahoo.com
Expectations! Please only call on the weekends (fri 10p-Sun 12a)
That’s it just feel like really helping you guys out so please don’t give my number to anyone
Please anyone that has questions email me and I will give you my phone number for steping you through the WHOLE process! My email is: kyleshankles@yahoo.com remember I’m doing this out of the kindness of my heart so don’t spam me.

I’m thinking about jailbreaking my iPhone 3G, but I have some questions and maybe someone here can answer them.
1) It is indeed able to be undone, right? If I use the Restore capability in iTunes, I can go back?
2) Can I still purchase or download apps from the iTunes store (not a deal breaker, but whatever)
3) Sorta similar to the question above, but will I be able to use apps I already purchased/downloaded?
Please just email me, it will be a lot quicker. My emails kyleshankles @ yahoo. com -I will be available instantly that way.
Just email me, I will fix it. Kyleshankles@yahoo.com
After installing Cydia (jailbroken), you must connect to wifi or have signal to internet. There are still apps that you need to “finish” installing. When you connect to Cydia, its looking for internet, and when it cant find it, it says “cannot open source”.
cool thing
i just wonder. How can i get cydia in to my iphone if i got something called appstore cant find it in there. if some1 can give me a answer email me joachim_askeland@yahoo.com

OK…. im buying an ipodtouch 2g in a couple months… is this worth it?
How can i download cycorder in my i phone,
Plz someone help me out for this . Thank u in advance
I installed Cydia about a week ago and I LOVE IT!!! I am very happy with the new app availability and the new versatility of my phone. My question is, if and when I need a battery replacement, do I need to remove all signs of jailbreaking before sending the phone to apple? (Is that even how it works?) Also, I haven’t upgraded iTunes on my Mac since the jailbreak, and I haven’t hooked my phone to the computer because I don’t know if it will undo what I’ve done with Cydia and Installer. If Apple offers a new version of iPhone software, should I install it? Should I install iTunes 8.1? Help!
thats not very specific. email me and please be more descriptive. my emails posted above.
Well I know you dont want to hear this, but, once you jailbreak (to get Cydia) you kinda void your warranty. Now that’s not to say they will always be able to tell. If you ever need a battery exchange, just restore in iTunes (and, yes, always keep up to date with the newest iTunes [do that now]) and they might not be able to tell. With a battery exchange I don’t think it will be a problem, as it’s a routine procedure for them. They probably wont check the baseband or motherboard, so you probably cool
hey guys, does jailbreak can broke my iphone 3G?

A friend of mine jailbroke my phone a few weeks ago. I had no problems synching it, but now when I go to synch, it says something like “disc not found” and that I need to restore the iphone. I know I will lose the Cydia if I do that. Also, the past few days now, when I receive a call, where it would normally say “1″ by the green phone icon, it says “8″ In other words, if I miss 1 call, it says 8 calls. Maybe I have some glitch in my phone and should just restore it and jailbreak it again?? Any suggestions? I have a 3G, 16 and it’s kind of new. I don’t want to screw up my warranty. I figure I can just restore, if it is still messed up, get a new one from apple under warranty. Either way, I can always jailbreak it again later. Any help on this “disc not found” thing in itunes?

thats brilliant! thank you so much …
Rio21crazy@aol.com I want cydie iPhone
You have to jailbreak it.
Go to YouTube and go on ‘tysiphonehelp’ channel and look up the video that corresponds to your iPod Touch firmware (e.g. 2.2.1 (it will tell you in iTunes)). Then make sure if you have Windows PC the jailbreak video is for Windows, Mac for Mac etc.
I used the QuickFreedom way.
Help when I download something it does nothing and it doesn’t say error or anything it just says complete
hey…..i jailbreak my ipod touch…and i have cydia and installer but i don;t know how to use these….i want to put games and app to my ipod but i don’t know how…please help me…:)..anda_0201@yahoo.co.uk
I am gettin the Iphone 3g, Not sure where to start, Been reading tons of different stuff!! For sure I want to jailbrake,Where can I find the correct link to download for the 3g? what’s next? Cydia? Summerboard or winterboard?? Please help! confused! guidence from a pro iphoner?
The easiest wa i’ve jailbroken my ipod 2g is using quickfreedom. it installs both cydia and istaller app. (optional) and lets you choose the boot logo. the process is very straightforward and the download for is at the same site as quick pwn. quickpwn.com I hope this helps. And if you want winter board look up hackintosh on cydia. its the best theme.
And the best way to gt games is through cydia which has more games than installer. go to sections or type in keywords for games (e.g- mario-sonic-nintendo,etc.) and it’ll give you some results. If your looking for themes, or if you want winterboard go to cydia and search Hackintosh. It will then download and then once you reboot your ipod there will be a winterboard theme. open it then check Hackintosh. Then click the home button and the menu will freeze for a couplre of seconds then the unlock screen will appear. unlock it normally and the theme Hackintosh will be applied. If you wish to unapply it, simply open up winterboard and un check it.
can i download apps from itunes after jailbraking
Maybe yes maybe no, you can do it but maybe you can’t.
Iphone 4G is avalible on 15 May 2009. It has a video camera, bluetooth and a bunch of free apps that are paid on App. store.
So just wait. Jailbreaking is illegal and the result will be prision. In the summer, they”ll do an investagation for who jailbroke his/ her iphon.
Cydia is free but useless.
My brother is a manager in Apple corp.
He said that cydia is completely useless.
Only themes and drawing for wallpapers.
Don’t bother doing something iilllleeeeggggggggaaaaaallll.
Plus, In math we took Areas and volumes.
LOL
Hady
Maybe Hady, i could be somebody else.
LOL
Again
Ha HA
Wait
Patinence
Lol
Who cares if its illegal, who is getting hurt? No one.. Cydia has some cool stuff on it and you can personalise your iphone to make it more you. I like the ‘make it mine’ function that allows you to change the network carrier or clock to your name or whatever you want. Yeah its all wall papers and screen changes but its pretty cool! SO if you have an iphone its totally your call. Software is easy to buy online and the process to Jailbreak it without hacking it is easy!¬
Go to quickfreedom.com and you will be jailbroken with installer and cydia in about 45 seconds
It’s nyc
Go to Quickfreedom.com
Jailbreaking your Ipod or Iphone is not illegal. the software that you install on it is open to the public. However apple will not replace or assist you in any way if they find out what you did. Making your Iphone work on another service provider (T-moblie, Sprint) is illegal.
ok i just got cydia and installer but how do i get apps please help me!!!!
thankz jkcdad@comcast.net
How do u install this
Hi there, I send you an e-mail last Saturday, cause I need for you to help me to jailbreak my Iphone, I want to put themes on them, and my daughters have the Itouch Ipod, and they also want to put themes on their Ipods. Please e-mail me so you can help me do this. Thank you.
that is not true!!! i bought the 3 year warranty on mine and i have exchanged it 3 times at best buy. all you have to do is restre in itunes and no questions will be asked. i figure if i am going to pay an extra 65.00 i will have a new ipod every couple of months, broken or not
*Installer
*Cydia
*Winzip
Can someone who have installed themes on their Iphone and 3g touch Ipod, please walk me thru from beginning to end, I’m not “computer savy”, and do not want to mess up my Iphone. I have been reading all the comments, put it gets confusing, please help!!!!! thank you.
Make sure you back up your device in Itunes and you will get your apps back. backup your music, pics, videos ect. Itunes will reinstall your apps and purchased items on your 1st sync after jailbreak. I tunes cannot tell a jailbroken device from a non jailbroken device. To me jail break was well worth it and if you decide that you don’t like it, or have to bring your device in for repair or replacement you just restore your device in itunes and no one will ever know that it was jailbroken. It’s NOT illegal to jailbreak your iphone or ipod touch. Buty apple doesn’t like it and will void your warenty if they find out, but they never have to find out.. email me if you have anymore questions…. kmclen1565@yahoo.com
Just connect your device to itunes and click sync and it will automatically back up
Apple cannot say what you can do with a device that you own. That would be like the contractor who built your house saying that it is illegal to paint your house. You got some bad information from somewhere. It would take a movement by the house and the senate to accomplish that. Check your facts. Apple can’t make laws. only the goverment can. (sorry typing on ipod)
Just put your phone into restore mode plu it in and let it sit for about 15 minutes and it will go back to where it was. If that doesn’t work just restore in itunes and try again. I had the same problem at first and I found out this method by accident.
yes it is worth it, I don’t leave home without mine. you can go to the app store and download an app named iCall and use your ipod touch like an iphone as long as you have an internet connection. I live and work with wifi everywhere even in my car. (sprint WIFI router)so I got rid of my cell phone adn save about 100 bucks a month. email me with any questions. kmclen1565@yahoo.com
I’m looking into getting the Iphone but I’m not sure if i want to get the contract through ATT or buy it off line and go through T mobile. If i goto ATT to get the phone and contract can I still use Cydia and the apps? can I Jailbreak the phone. all on ATT network. Iv heard mixed story’s about if cydia will work on ATT network or not. Im just looking for the best deal when it comes to this. can anyone give me a straight answer?
I have ATT & have always had it. I jailbroke my phone a month or so ago and I’m glad I did. I have a lot more choices now and have been able to really customize my phone. If you use ATT you don’t have to unlock you phone (which allows you to use other carriers) but you can jailbreak it (which is easier & allows you to use Cydia. Take your time and follow the instructions and you’ll be fine. Email Kyle (see above posts) if you have problems or questions - he really helped me a lot. (Thanks Kyle!)

Hey I found a new website where you can download apps and sync them right to your ipod or iphone, you will have to do a little sshing before you can sync but it is pretty easy. it has every app in the app store only free. check it out: appulo.us I have already downloaded like 25 apps… If you need any help getting set up email me kmclen1565@yahoo.com
U gotta download winterboard off cydia then u hust check the themes etc u want
Yes
Its free, if ou have to pay its not the right one/
i have ipod touch 16 g so i wont to downloads everythings abouth ipod touch programmes or movies or …..?
so i need answer?
how can i downloads cidya?
Thank you so much. I have already downloaded tons of free apps from that website. Btw, you have to download a certain program from Cydia in order to actually get them onto your iTouch or iPhone.
You have to jailbreak your iTouch or iPhone and it will automatically put Cydia as well as Installer (an older version) onto it.
Nice site ! people should read this .
No you cannot!!!! I tried that
This…is…AMAZING! You can install so much cool stuff with it. You really need to jailbreak your iPod/iPhone if you already didn’t. Download QuickPwn for iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, or iPod touch 1G. Download Redsn0w beta for iPod touch 2G. All are untethered (the jailbreak stays after a reboot)!
Hey what’s upp my name is alex and pleas pleas help me I’m not someone that bows how to do any of this but I want to download cydia but I dnt now how 2 pleas help me my email is. Alexban2008@yahho.com or myspace lilhomie@yahho.com yes yahho. LOL thanx zoo let me now

hi there.. i download installous in my iphone already..but i don’t know why i still can’t install the application..do i need to install anything else together with the installous in order to download all the application inside it?
Hey everyone - I know this is probably on most iPhone users’ minds. I want to update to OS 3.0 but don’t want to lose my jailbreak functions and cool apps. Should I just wait until the Devs perfect a solution, or is there one that’s ready now? I have App Back-up from Cydia and am not quite sure how to make it happen, or maybe just a little nervous about trying it. Anyone update and re-jailbreak yet?
@Blaine For now, you can use redsn0w to do this. If you have the iPhone 1st generation iPhone it will BOTH unlock and jailbreak 3.0 on your iPhone, but the iPhone 3G will with redsn0w will NOT unlock it, only jailbreak, so you won’t be able to use a different carrier.
hey guys…i have a problem …..for example i go to cydia and i download one theme for ex and than cydia close automatic…i don;t know, the same for some games in my ipod i go to game and than this is closing…please help me…who know!!:D thx

How can I download cydia to iPod touch 2g on safari help
I recently downloaded a mms app from cydia and my iphone went into reboot about 4 hours ago and hasn’t turned back on yet. the apple logo goes on and off anyone who knows how to get it back on
Eva, I did the same thing. You have to force your phone in to recovery mode and then restore it using ITunes. To do so turn your phone off. Pull up ITunes on your computer. While connecting your phone to Itunes hold the home button and continue to hold it until you see the message that your phone is in recovery mode and it must be restored before using it. Then restore it back to factory settings. I know I explained that kind of fast so here’s a link that will show you step by step. http://mickerlodeon.com/2009/03/iphone-recovery-mode-how-to/
OMG HHEEELLPP!! I downloaded cydia and now i have noooo service! i need help bad i’m freaking out! i have the iphone 8g 3g i dont know why i dont have service but i;m freaking out i need help now!!!

I need help. I have a iphone 3g 16g. Everytime I try to install something from cydia it gives me an error. I jailbroke iphone with redsnow and running 3.0. Help Meae
Hi , I have Iphone 3g, 8gb. but they could not support othere Sim card how i unlock Iphone. ? Need a reply and on my mobile phone no software Cydia how i intall in it.
I jailbroke the new 3.0 software using redsnow and installed cydia during the process. I also installed ultrasnow but cydia was giving me problems when I would download packages. And now when I try opening it up, before it loads it just shuts down. I seriously need help. Without cydia, what’s the point.
I have a jail broken iphone 8g 3g and I was downloading something from cydia and it brought up a a terminal which I can’t get rid of and cydia app will no longer open. Please help I would like the terminal gone off dock and cydia to work, can anyone help me?
I’ve been wanting cedia for quite some time on my 16gb Ipod touch. the reason why i wouldn’t do it on my Iphone is because if the service finds out you’re jail breaking your Iphone you’re in really big trouble, don’t know the exact concequences but just know they’re bad. My friend told me about and he has it. As soon as i get a hold of my buddy i’ll get him to do it on my ipod touch because i really wouldn’t want to mess up

Tanks for the tip, i really tanks.
I need cydia in my iPhone
Is there anywhere else other than cydia (which i find patchy and kinda shit) where you can get decent apps?
i had the same problem you will have to reload the back up in itunes and start over. open itunes then with your phone unplugged hold the home button and then plugg it in. it should show a plug and itunes logo.
and when you down load cydia again be sure to run the update before you do anything. i would stay away from that mms till they get it fixed.

Just got all apprication downloaded to my Windows computer, when I started to install qwckpwn it failed and said I have to install .NET framework v2.0.50727. What does it mean ??? In which folder should I put the downloaded application in my computer ?
For those of you who broke your iPhones go into dfu mode. Dfu mode is a step in the jailbreak process where you turn off iPhone and plug it into the computer then turn it on and press a certain combination of buttons that quickpwn tells you. It’ll fix your iPhone and allow you to restore

Hi.
I’ve recently purchased a 3gs that has 3.0 installed on it.
I keep getting prompted by iTunes to update to 3.1 but not done it.
Has anyone succesfully jailbroken their 3gs on 3.0 and if yes what did you use.
I don’t need to unlock it as I’m happy on o2 and normally all o2 contract phones are already unlocked anyway.
Anyway all I’d like to do is jailbreak.
Any help please as I get confused by the many bloggs, some saying use this others say use something else, some say keep sim in some say don’t, some say have iTunes connected, some say don’t.
As u can see I’m confused, lol.
Thanks for any advice and/or help given. Ron

I’m surching softwer bymistikli delet cidiya and itiune softwer pleas help me to downlod this sotwer
Amit the process is called jail breaking. What firmware you have? If you have 3.0.1 then use redsn0w. Follow steps at http://iphonepackers.info/MythsJailBreaking.htm
If you have older version then use quickpwn.
If you have 3.1 then you cannot put Cydia on it.
If you have v3.01 firmware use redsn0w when you Jailbreak & Unlock your iphone, if you have V3.01 firmware you can update to 3.0 firmware while useing redsn0w, this will allow you to install Cydia. Jailbreaking & Unlocking the New iphone 3GS is a little Risky, you can end up with a duff Handset.
i have iphone 32gb 3gs version 3.1

How i get cydia
hi guys , i have 3gs 32gb it cums with 3.0.1 firmware , but how do i jailbreak it i hav tried diff things downloading cracked firmwares and purpelura nothing works plz i wana install cydia any help any1
For all you people out there who are having difficulty with the 3gs, as I did, all is not lost. Here’s how to do it and don’t worry if you mess up, it is simple to reconnect to iTunes and put it all back to rights.
1. Download iPhone 3G S (3.0/7A341) ipsw and save it to your downloads.
2. Once downloaded check that the file ext is .ipsw. I think this one is already in the right format but if not, right click on it and rename it to make it .ispw. Don’t worry about the warnings. When this has been done the icon will be a small cube with iTunes logo.
3. Download redsn0w to your download file. The 0 in the name is zero and not a uppercase letter O.
4. Go to the downloads click/run redsn0w. A dialog box will ask you to browse for the .ispw. Point it to the download as at 1. above.
5. It will identify the software and then run some software to prepare for the Jailbreak. Follow the on-screen instructions which should read
along the lines of “switch off the iPhone for 5 seconds, hold down the home button and keep it held down. Connect the USB cable whilst still holding and click next” or something along those lines. You can take your finger off when it tells you. NB If it tells you to also hold the power button then you have the wrong software and /or not a 3gs phone.
6. You will see an icon on the iPhone screen representing a hard drive. After a few seconds software will begin to download and soon after a pineapple man icon will appear.
7. When it’s finished the phone will reboot and then you will see the Cydia icon. Your iPhone is now jailbroken. NEXT
8. If you want to unlock it go to Cydia and search for ultrasn0w. Download it to your iPhone. No need to do anything else. Your iPhone will now take any SIM. NEXT
9. To personalise the screens go to Cydia and download Winterboard. Click on that when it’s loaded and you may then play with different screen themes. Download more by going to Cydia / Sections / All Packages (icon at bottom) and have a look for the theme you want. They’re all free.
Hope this helps.
Re my comments above I should have indicated that this is for Windows PC not MAC. I run Vista but it should be ok on other OS.
Re 275. File extension typo error. It should read .ipsw and NOT .ispw!! Fat fingers rule!
This program purpule totally wiped my iphone out, do not download and or install.
I should have said don’t use purplera1n - it didn’t work on my 3gs and I was left with a picture of the developer on the screen and a lifeless phone. After a few minutes of panic and holding down the home and power buttons a few times, for a few seconds at a time, it did come back to life and I was able to restore through iTunes. Another snippet for those of you in the UK if you need free internet tethering - in safari on the iphone itself search for help.benm.at/uk.php - a page called Mobileconfigs UK will appear, touch the O2 Contract and you will have the tethering. V cool for those who need it.

Unlcok m’y iPhone 3G

Apparently Apple have made the 3.1 upgrade to stop us jailbreaking and it’s working so far. Sadly once 3.1 has been installed, at present there is no way to downgrade it back to 3.0. We’ll have to wait for those clever guys at Cydia to figure it all out.
Does anybody know where to find latest cydia version…?
Pease advice

how can i unlock my iphone 3G
dude, what the fuck man…. i did all this and now my iphone wont even work at all…this is really fucked up man…can someone help… idt1993@yahoo.com
Apparently if you installed the updates for your phone…these programs won’t work and your phone is no longer “jailbroken”….new app is suppose to live around the 12th…so i have been told.
I have a question, can I still use my AT&T network when I unlock it thru cydia? I’ve tried it but once I put the sim card it just says searching for a long time then it goes into no service, maybe I did something wrong but idk, can somebody help me?

“blackra1n” at blackra1n.com will apparently unlock the any iPhone in 30 seconds and it’s supposed to be easy to use. Not tried it myself as already unlocked. Dev-team say it will not do the carrier unlock though and that it may stop that happening for some time to come.
