A virus?

'Nuff said. If you go around downloading stuff from Cydia willy nilly you are bound to encounter an issue at some point.

Yea, that part was obvious. What I asked was wether or not it could have been malicious.

Probably wasn't malicious, was most likely just something that was badly programmed and/or hasn't been recently updated. Most certainly could have been malicious, though again, probably not.

If you download repos and/or apps directly from Cydia itself, Cydia does a pretty good job of warning you if the proposed dl is incompatible with your device or ios version. However, if you go to one of the "hack" sites, you are on your own, and need to know what you are doing and what you are dl.

Learning the ropes

Ok, so I added some repo and downloaded some app. I forget what it was...It made my phone go to the activation screen and wouldn't let me activate it. I had to restore my phone in DFU mode.

Before it went to this screen, the apple logo appeared and had a strange shimmer animation to it.

Happened to me once, learned my lesson, it's not the app, it's the user and lack of knowledge on the subject.

Learn from it

Go to "some" random repo and download "some" random app and you're surprised it wrecked your phone?

You were probably downloading dirty, and not ridin.
