Step 1: Jailbreak iOS 8

Step 2: Install OpenSSH on your device from the Pangu app

Step 3: Download and install CyberDuck SFTP client

Step 4: Find your iOS device’s Wi-Fi IP address via Settings → Wi-Fi → ‘i‘

Step 5: Launch CyberDuck and connect to your iOS device’s IP address

Step 6: Download the needed Cydia files, and place them on your iOS device via CyberDuck

Step 7: While CyberDuck is open, click Go → Send Command and paste the following command and click Send:

dpkg –install cydia-lproj_1.1.12_iphoneos-arm.deb cydia_1.1.13_iphoneos-arm.deb

Step 8: Click Go → Send Command again, and type restart and click Send. This will reboot your iOS device.

Upon reboot, you should see the Cydia icon on your Home screen. Launch Cydia to initialize and enjoy your new jailbroken iPhone with Cydia!

Just remember guys... Cydia substrate isn't updated yet for iOS 8 so most tweaks / apps wont work until it is.

I ran the script but cydia doesn't show up on the home page for me.

EDIT: This fixed it:

If Cydia is not showing up on springboard after install & multi reboots: Use SSH to connect to device. Then use this command:

ls /User/Library/Caches

This will show all files in the Caches directory, look for a file with the extension .csstore (my 6+ was named com.apple.LaunchServices-102.csstore)

Run the command:

rm /User/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-102.csstore

Then immediately run:

reboot

Finished. Just make sure you have the right file name because I believe different devices use a different number for the plist name.

This method re-runs launchservices on reboot.

When I try to click go and enter a command, I can't. It's greyed out.

Not sure if I did something wrong or if you're messing with us but that just put my phone into a boot loop. Ugh.

Edit: It just had to boot up about a dozen times and then all of a sudden it just booted normal and cydia was there.

Well, you're not alone. "Send command" is grayed out for me too. I've tried everything. Connecting, reconnecting. Rebooting. Reinstalling. Nothing worked. Any ideas out there, you Cyberduck experts???

Corrections:

1) the command to run to install cydia needs TWO dashes in front of the 'install' argument. Ie - "dpkg –-install cydia-lproj_1.1.12_iphoneos-arm.deb cydia_1.1.13_iphoneos-arm.deb"

2) the second command to execute is "reboot", not restart

So, I switched from Cyberduck to Winscp. It would allow me to run the commands in a terminal window, but returned the message that errors were encountered and that Cydia was not installed. I give up.

After installing Pangu, then SSH and trying to get the SFTP commands to install Cydia... I found that Safari was all messed up. It would not browse correctly and gave errors on all sites. Thus, I had to restore from a recent back up. Sucked. I don't know what went wrong, but I'm waiting for a later, more bug free Pangu version that integrates Cydia.

Followed all of the steps, but Cydia didn't install?
