There is a problem with a particular source this morning. Signs point to it being Zodttd’s repo sending data that Cydia has a problem with. This causes Cydia to go into a crashing loop.

You should NOT need to restore your firmware to fix this problem. Please have patience, a fix is being worked on. If the coming solutions do not help there is still the possibility that a restore may be needed.

Update #1: Some good advice and instructions in the comments below. You can also try the FIXES AND SUGGESTIONS HERE, as the problem is the same as it was then. You must remove the zodttd source list that is causing the problem.

Update #2: A quick fix for some (works only if you have apt7 installed)

• Log-in as root using MobileTerminal or SSH and run this command:
• apt-get update
• This will update your lists and then Cydia should work.

Interestingly enough, within one day apart from each other, two developers have released a tethering toggle for SBSettings. Yesterday “Tethering” toggle was released by Filipe Pina. Today, rpetrich released a VPN and Tethering toggle caleld “Tether”. Both tethering toggles work well although they both take a different approach on how to make the actual changes. Rpetrich’s toggle uses the preferences frameworks and calls the functions that the settings app calls. Filipe Pina’s version makes the changes to the files that the preferences framework makes and then restarts the internet service. In both case, you can tether with usb or bluetooth. If you want to tether with bluetooth, you must enable bluetooth in sbsettings separately.

Rpetrich released also a VPN toggle. I believe these two toggles were the most requested. Many thanks to the two mentioned developers.
