Hi there,
I just jailbroke my iphone 4 with greenpois0n but I can not install cydia with loader. I have found heaps of articles on the internet saying that you can just install it with redsn0w, however I dont have a sufficient internet connection to download the ipsw file needed to use redsn0w for my iphone.

Is there any other ways to get cydia to install?

Thanks,
 
it is definitely jailbroken... greenpois0n installs an app called loader which then is ment to download and install cydia. Except the loader app is not working, and I think that it is due to the greenpois0n site being down so cydia can not be downloaded and installed

If you don't have cydia, I don't think your phone is jailbroken. Try again

You've obviously never run Greenpois0n. The OP is correct.

Try SSHing from Terminal into the iPhone then: apt-get install cydia

... on second thought, I don't think you can SSH into your phone yet. Boo.
 
I thought you had to enable something in cydia before you could ssh into an iphone?

OpenSSH that's correct. I don't know what I was thinking (honestly they ought to make it install when you jailbreak but I digress).

You pretty much have to use redsn0w or wait till loader will download Cydia. Will it not even start downloading now?

If you've got a notebook you could always go to Panera or some place with free wifi and download the ipsw.
 
heh so i cant ssh into the iphone then. Yip have tried to use loader about 5 times now since my first post and still no luck. Loader just says "loading sources" for about 2 mins and then says i need an internet connection.... but I have a working wifi connection and all other apps work with the wifi
 
I'd probably just let the ipsw download overnight if your connection is that slow. Even on my 1.5mbps DSL it would only take me an hour at most.
 
its not the speed that is the problem, it is the fact that I am at my parent house for the next few days and they have a 5 download cap for the month. So they wont be to happy if i use up ~ 1gig just like that

Ahhh, yeah then find free wifi and bum off them. lol!
 
SOLVED: just had a thought, and tried to install cydia over 3G instead of Wifi and it worked.
Strange.
