After I updated several Cydia apps and installed dtunes the icon disappeared from the home screen. When I do a search the application was accessible and opened with problems. To make a long story short, I ended up uninstalling Cydia via Terminal and tried several methods suggested on various forums. I have tried the "apt-get install Cydia" command as well as manually downloading the deb. files (both Cydia and essentials) and ran into errors during the install.

Could someone please tell me what I can troubleshoot or whether a clean reinstall of everything is easier at this point? I tried restoring the phone through iTunes but stopped when I saw a message indicating that it will install the "latest" firmware, probably 4.02. FYI-I also have pkg backup loaded with backups.

Thanks in advance.
