****This issue was fixed!! thanks again to the user that posted the fix.****


Thanks for looking...

i have an iphone 4, running 4.1, jailbroke with greenpoison when it first came out. Until today I have not had any issues.

When I go in to cydia, it doesn’t show my shsh's, under sources there is nothing, under installed packages nothing, changes shows nothing. If I go to sections it shows the folder "All Packages" but no other folders, and nothing is in the all packages folder.

I have restarted the phone, respringed... etc.

I also went in to mobile terminal, logged in, and ran "apt-get update", nothing fixes the issue.

Is something going on with cydia right now, or is my phone messed up? Does anyone have any ideas on how to get my stuff back? Also I have not installed or deleted anything from the phone in a week or so, and I check cydia a few times a day (changes), and this is the first time I have come across this issue. Thank you ahead of time.

ok i did some more research and found a post that said uninstall cydia and reinstall it... they said to type in mobileterminal "apt-get remove cydia"
then "apt-get install cydia"


can someone confirm that this works to reinstall cydia, i dont want to mess up my phone any more than it already is.
 
Not sure if this will help or not but I had the same problem earlier today. For me to solve the problem was to go into private/etc/apt/sources.list.d then open cydia.list in ifile and deleted ihackstore.com/repo. The only reason I did this was cause when I entered that repo into my cousin phone it went into that blank screen. I then opened up Cydia and tried my phone and noticed everything went blank also. Hopefully this helps...sorry if it didn't.
 
The last response worked for me, I was having the same problem as the op, till I deleted that hackstore entry. Thanks !
 
this is happeneing to me again too. When it happened before {a month ago or so} i just opened up ifile, went to the "new cydia" file, reinstalled it, then rebooted the phone. everything worked again.

but it just happened again today out of nowhere, and no matter if i reinstall and respring, reboot {from power options}, power off and back on, hard reboot, etc......nothing is helping.....and i don't have that bad source either
 
I did some Googling and it seems this is happening to a LOT of people. It may show up fine for a bit, but then disappears again. The consensus seems to be to just wait it out, that it's a problem on the server-end of things and should be fixed before long.

Same here. WTF is this?
I wonder if it's a Cydia prob. I didn't install or change anything for a while and all of a sudden nothing is listed there any more.

I am in the same boat as you AJ. I had a few updates in Cydia that I had not installed yet and decided to go ahead and install them. It still showed the updates in red, but as soon as I opened Cydia.....POOF! Everything was gone, no sources, packages, NOTHING! I havent installed anything in at least a month and have been JB on 4.0.1 with no issues until now.Also, I do not have the Hackstore repo thats previously been mentioned. Where do you see what version of Cydia you are running?? I updated mine about a month ago. I couldve swore I knew where to find the version number but I just dont see it.


EDIT: Well, I just opened Cydia, hit refresh and everything is back now??

yep it's back up maybe Saurik was playing I was figuring the same thing. I haven't added any new sources or anything recently/ So I figured I wait abet! :D
 
The same happened to me today and it was not a pleasant surprise - until it automatically fixed itself an hour later. All is well now.
 
what....the....fock....working again for me........

the last time it happened, it was not working for about a week and a half. thats when i reinstalled it and it worked again. this is starting to freak me out LoL
 
not working for me all repos that came with cydia is gone now. all i have is bigboss repo, does anyone know how i can get all the other repos back?

what exactly did you do here? i might have to try this method.
 
Weird, it had worked for me (deleting that hackstore source), then out of the blue it started happening again yesterday. I decided to turn wifi off, and just open Cydia with 3g. All of a sudden, it worked. i dont know if it was a coincidence, and maybe whatever server issues may have been happening were fixed, or what, but it may be worth a shot to try.
 
what response

OK, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO AND THIS WORKED FOR ME :

1.TURN YOUR IPHONE and wifi OFF
2.TURN ON (WITHOUT CONECTING TO COMPUTER)
3.GO INTO CYDIA (AT THIS POINT CYDIA SHOULD NOT WORK)
4.TURN IPHONE OFF
5. TETHER BOOT THE IPHONE
6. turn on wifi and OPEN CYDIA AND UPGRADE ESSENTIALS

thats all, it worked for me. easy
 
Thanks, that fixed my 5.0.1 jailbreak

Thanks! I had the same problem after installing the new untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak, and this fixed it for me.
 
if you cant find ihackstore/repo then it means you have something else like ihackrepo.com or anything that has a I infront of it you have to delete that :D
