5.0.1 Untethered (sort of) Out

Author: BigBoss  //  Category: Jailbreak, News

There is now an untethered jailbreak for everyone not on an iPhone 4s or ipad 2 for 5.0.1. If you are on 5.0.1, you can apply it via Cydia by installing “Corona 5.0.1 Untether”. Alternatively, you can install it with the latest redsn0w. If you are on 5.0, you will have to restore to 5.0.1 first, then you can jailbreak untethered via redsn0w.

The traffic for cydia repositories is huge right now. So if you get any errors related to installation of package, I suggest you try later (or a few days later).

iPhone 4s / iPad 2 jailbreak to follow in a bit. No one has an answer as to when so don’t bother asking.

Finally, if you have semitethered installed, you should probably uninstall it via cydia once you are untethered. It is no longer necessary.

  2. Shine Says:

    Plz help, I can’t add thebigboss source :(

  3. AltF4 Says:

    Just wondering, why is this a “sort of” untether?
    I am curious before I do it (as in if there is some caveat I haven’t seen)

  4. Matt Says:

    “sort of” I think is because the cydia repo is being hammered, so u might get errors.

  5. Bali Says:

    -

  6. Tyler Says:

    None of my repos were loading after I jailbreak, so I deleted thebigboss source and tried to add it again and I could not add it either :/

  7. Tyler Says:

    I believe the “sort of” is there because it does not work for the A5 devices, so its not a true “iOS 5″ unteathered jailbreak

  8. Zsolt Says:

    I’m not able to install ANY cydia packages, is says iOS Firmware>=3.1 or 4.0 etc, while I1m on 5.0.1
    What the f*ck is wrong?
    I have restored, but now bigboss repo is unavailable.
    I’m f*cking freaked out now!

  9. untether501 Says:

    bigboss source not working and wont let me add back to cydia

  10. Uri Says:

    It seems many encounter issues getting BigBoss repo working after jailbreaking is done. It would be nice if someone from BigBoss could explain if it is a temp issue due to repo overload or perhaps there is a problem with the jailbreak itself.

  11. carbontrash Says:

    confirmed – repo bigboss and some others are completly offline

    crap

  12. tomricci Says:

    I now getting an error with ibooks with new unteathered jailbreak iPhone4. Thought this had been fixed with earlier redsn0w

  13. WholeSaleSwaggin Says:

    my repos dont work!!! AHHHH!! i want SBSETTINGS!!!

  14. Leghtim Says:

    The traffic for cydia repositories is huge right now. So if you get any errors related to installation of package, I suggest you try later (or a few days later).
    I hope that helps

  15. bob Says:

    BigBoss repo is not working for me!!! is this because of overload on the server or did i do something wrong?

  16. interfan23 Says:

    I was afraid that only I had such a problem…
    My bigboss repo is not working also, but as you wrote, I will wait.

  17. Ferran Says:

    SSH toggle in SBsettings installed on ios 5.0.1 does not work. The button looks like activate but ssh service is not running.
    Does anybody has the same problem?

  18. Shine Says:

    Me, too

  19. Julio Says:

    I think it’s because of an overload… I’ve got the exact same problem… Probably everybody jailbreaking their iPhones :)

  20. Rawrxs Says:

    Not working over here either. Glad its not just me though. ive waited 3 months, i can wait a few more days no problem, as long as its fixed relativity soon =D thanks bb

  21. Rawrxs Says:

    Working on my end. iPhone 4, 5.0.1

  22. Ferran Says:

    Mine is Iphone 3gs.
    Did you do something to get it working?

  23. jeshka Says:

    You can add sources from cydia first page in app. There is button More Package Sources.

  24. ipipip Says:

    cannot locate package err in cydia.
    whats up?

  25. Darkmonkey Says:

    The source is there but none of the packages such as Prefernceloader can be found in the bigboss source

  26. jsjb100 Says:

    Not quite sure where to post this. I updated my iOS from jailbroken 4.3.3 to 5.0.1 today and used the untethered redsn0w to jailbreak it. Went well, took about 2 hours in total for my iP4, 32 GB unlocked at factory phone.

    However, in “testing” all the apps out later….found that the photos app crashed the phone and mobile substrate put it into “safe mode”. Ran “crash reporter” but it give SO much information, hard to tell what went wrong. So…I uninstalled the ONE cydia app that was related to the camera/photo app…”STEALTH CAM” and voila…this was the problem. Apparently it isn’t compatible with iOS 5.0.1

    So, if anyone has this issue…here you go…take off stealth cam

  27. FaultyFlipFlap Says:

    I am having the same issue with the BB repo not loading up. Does anyone know another repo to add so I can install AptBackup?

  28. tholoz Says:

    had same prob but fixed.
    u need to restore, and after a clean restore use apple store to download ibook, before you use redsnow.

  29. tholoz Says:

    I dont get any errors, just that bigboss repo is empthy ^^

  30. ciera Says:

    is anyone else having problems getting openssh to work after upgrading? i can’t seem to connect anymore, even from the device itself using iSSH to 127.0.0.1 – doesn’t ask for password, it immediately says connect refused. i also notice when i press the openssh toggle in sbssettings it will switch once (on/off) but immediately after that the button becomes stuck (can’t switch it back).

  31. ciera Says:

    i’m using an iphone4 and ipad 5.0.1 and it’s not working on either device. i updated my iphone second and first thing i tried after completing jailbreak & restore is downloading openssh & sbssettings and it behaved same way.
    wondering if anyone knows a fix

  32. thevmax Says:

    FYI >>>
    Some jailbroken applications don’t work yet and you should stay away from them for now.

    ANIMATE using bootlogos will cause your iphone to go into safe mode. I had to reboot tethered to get out of safe mode and then delete animate.

    RETINAAPPICONS will cause your iphone to go into safe mode also.

  33. zvi Says:

    there is any other way to get SBSettings, Five icon dock etc.?

  34. riftek Says:

    People just be patient, everyone is updating their phones with jailbreak and it is slowing the repo’s down from appearing on your phone. Let your phone rest after the jailbreak for a few hours and the repos will populate.

  35. Sirbab Says:

    Hey, i can access Bigboss, but i do not see any corona, not even just searching for it… I WANT UNTETHERED DAMNIT!!! sorry about the caps rage there.

  36. Kevin Says:

    Mine just started working ;)

  37. Sorata Daidouji Says:

    don’t panic guys they will work eventually. The repos are overloaded at the moment, I’ve been able to install some apps and others are not available… since they are the most popular ones. Hang on and give them some time to allocate all that traffic =)

  38. cubano2031 Says:

    DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!! the bigboss not work,,, i need the killbargroung……..

    Me too

  42. Diarmaid Says:

    i can not see any parkages in the bigboss repo but i can manually install them through ssh

  43. Dave Says:

    Patiently waiting. Was able to load completely with Corona one phone, now the other 4 arent able as they went from 4.3.3 to 5.01.

  44. HELP Says:

    WTFFFFFFFFFFFF i installed an app that restared springboard, and it erased all my Apps? help please

  45. Anonymous Says:

    just restart and all apps will reappear

  46. Richard Says:

    can’t type in cydia after ios 5 jailbreak

  47. Mike Says:

    Bigboss source show’s no packages and Cydia “cannot locate packages”.

  48. master2738 Says:

    did you do anything to get it to starting working agian or did it just suddenly start working again? cause both me and my friend jb our devices today and neither of our big boss repos our working.

  49. master2738 Says:

    ^same problem as mine. anybody have a solution?

  50. Random Says:

    i need to download preferenceloader And libhide >= 2.0.4 but i cant find them :/ is it because of all the people using it?

  51. Different Matt Says:

    My ipod 4th gen crashed after downloading installous leaving just the news stand app. I restarted and it was fine, 5.0.1 jailbreak hasnt been so good for me so far. I guess it’s worth waiting for big boss to start working so I can get the freaking prefrenceloader to install

  52. Jason Says:

    bigboss empty here need preference loader before i can do anything UGHH

  53. fergus0n Says:

    I still cant add the bigboss source. I heard that some other people got the same problem too. They even found problem on the modmyi source. When i tried to install bigboss source again, it said “operation timed out’ or ‘failed to patch’.
    Will it be better to jailbreak 5.0.1 tethered jailbreak then directly install corona from cydia to become untethered?

  54. stryker_tc Says:

    Now you can go into Cydia and install Winterboard.

  55. from Chile Says:

    Still can’t install winterboard , it’s seema that are still problems…

  56. Lordkain Says:

    Apt backup is glitchy and doesn’t always save all packages/sources just load one by one

  57. Manu Pagoaga Says:

    repo???

  58. Lordkain Says:

    Cydia is backed up as the description states. Everyone take a chill pill. And if ure sources r not showing any packages go into ure packages and reinstall bigboss in the modify button.

  59. BOSS Says:

    the bigboss sources nothing to display is black !

  60. Anonymous Says:

    install openssh separately from cydia will do :)

  61. david Says:

    same, it’s empty for me.

  62. Me Says:

    Hey Guys,

    A few hours ago, only bigboss was down for me. But now modmyi zodttd are up and down as well. I am getting mostly “POSIX: Connection refused” or “POSIX: Operation timed out” or “Cached Failure” errors…except for Big Boss, which has been giving me “Hash Sum mismatch” errors all day. Just an FYI in case that helps.

  63. iOS Addict Says:

    Error: cached failure is all am getting – just got to be patient i guess till servers ease up.

  64. RAHEEL Says:

    those who have a problem with big boss repo or any other repo on iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak i found the way how you guys can fixed it
    1: open cydia and click search
    2: search a package “Steffwiz” and download it
    3: download an other package “All Sources”
    4: after its finish downloading go to manage and check your sources now they are working it works for me i hope it works for you too

  65. Anonymous Says:

    @Raheel

    Worked for me. Thanks a bundle!

  66. Anonymous Says:

    Doesnt work, only allows you to see the packages but you cannot install them, due to an http 505 error.:/

  67. Anonymous Says:

    Meaning it cannot connect. :/

  68. Paul Says:

    Oh shit Raheel that works.!! ^^^^^^

  69. Anonymous Says:

    No, it doesnt, you’ll be able to see the packages, but not be able to install them due to a http 500 error.

    Try it.

  70. LikeABoss Says:

    The workaround to the BigBoss being down is right here on this site: Go to the apps section and find the debian package for the app you’re looking for and download it to your computer. Install iFile on your phone and run its web server. Use a web browser to upload the app to the /var/mobile folder (easiest spot).

    Open mobile terminal and do the following:

    1. $su
    2. (enter password)
    3. #dpkg -i
    (it will install)
    4. respring or restart the phone.

    If you don’t know much about terminal, I wouldn’t even bother, but if you do, and you want your apps back, this works. All big boss apps are available here on the web, it’s only the repo that’s down.

    Hope this helps.

  71. Eric Says:

    So mine is blank and when the servers are back up will everything be there?

  72. Robert Says:

    I can add BigBoss & ModMyi from the Cydia page, but when I try to browse them in Manage:Sources, they are empty.

    If I delete them then go to Cydia:More Sources and add BigBoss, it downloads Releases and Packages (13 lines total) then sits there for a long time then says:

    POSIX: Operation timed out
    POSIX: Operation timed out

    I can install stuff including from bigboss now but when I first jb my phone today couldn’t down load nothing. Wierd

  78. Jared Says:

    What I really want to know is how did you figure this out? Also this forum has alot of people with this problem and people are being mislead to believe that the servers are busy, just seems there was a problem with cydia getting the repo files. as soon as a downloaded both packages raheel said to it showed the list of the big boss repo no problem and clicking on the big boss repo in the manage sources showed all the apps. I then was able to install my jailbreak apps such as activator. So for this untethered jailbreak for 5.0.1 on my iphone4 is working great! Thanks to all who worked on this jailbreak!!

    None of the sources in Cydia is working for me.
    Anyone has a different experiences?

  86. aberakkrombie Says:

    i get the same problem too – can’t install SBSettings.

  87. Ramses Says:

    @Raheel

    Worked for me. Thanks a bundle!

  88. Roland Says:

    I am experience the same problem. The interesting thing is that on iPad everything works fine and I have full access to the bigboss repo. After I deleted and reinsralled the bigboss Sorce I got an Error ‘… Hash mismatch …’ and the source is still empty

  89. Jack4u Says:

    Yes I think it’s overload.

  90. SinnerSaint Says:

    I managed to install Winterboard in my 5.0.1 untethered jailbroken iPhone 4 by reinstalling “Cydia Installer” first. The reason for this is because the default Cydia installation after jailbreaking does have empty repositories for BigBoss and ModMyi.com. After reinstalling “Cydia Installer” package, BigBoss and ModMyi.com now have entries (although cydia.zodttd.com and Dev Team repositories are still empty and will require a proper fix from the developers) . Install Winterboard again and you should be able to complete the installation this time.

  91. - Says:

    Guys he said there would be some error and just wait a few days “The traffic for cydia repositories is huge right now. So if you get any errors related to installation of package, I suggest you try later (or a few days later).” i can see you guys didn’t even read it

  92. Ren Says:

    me too … – - hash mismatch always appear in the end of installation

  93. Erwin Says:

    Ah, my BigBoss is no longer empty. Even managed to install winterboard.

  94. raggs023 Says:

    Hey guys, some help here? I just Jailbroken my iPhone4 with the untethered 5.0.1 version. But the Cydia app crashed when I try to search or add sources… HELP PLEASE!!!! THANKS!!

  95. Lirdi Says:

    wierd enough I just wrote the name of the package “steffwiz”, entered the feature page of the package, went back, search for “all sources”, went inside the first package shown and the entered BigBoss to see that it’s fully working… In other words, I did practically nothing and then it worked – just try your luck a hundred times until the packages appear in BigBoss source… :-\

  96. jt_69.V Says:

    SSH toggle can be used to stop ssh but not to restart it :(
    Is there a big drawback in letting ssh always on ?
    After changing the default passwords of course…

    Worked for me, THX :)

    Mine still wont reload! I tried installing “steffwiz” but that did not work. Please Help!

  100. RKG Says:

    this is unbelievable…most of the good stuff are in this repo and it’s not working at all…f*ck…

  101. Lordkain Says:

    @ Jared the bigboss repo is heavily populated right now and the other package probably isn’t as populated as bigboss.

  102. Saif Says:

    @ RAHEEL:
    U rock man it worked for me… thanks :-D

  103. Lordkain Says:

    What until next week that would probably be the best bet. Thats what I’m doing.

  104. Saif Says:

    After trying to install “Steffwiz” it didn’t install properly and showed sone sort of freaking error but upon checking Bigboss all packages were restored ! Hope it works for u guys…

  105. Scope Says:

    Big Boss wasnt working until 30 minutes ago, then it all came back and I was able to install SBSetettings (although it took 2 attempts)..

  106. jorge Says:

    thank you steffwiz worked!!!
    been breaking my head over this one.
    even did a complete restore and jailbreak.

  107. POSIX Says:

    Who the heck is POSIX????!!!! :’( Please be so kind and stop timing out :)

  108. Z!G Says:

    It is not the servers, or the repo’s or Cydia……………………………………………..It is the new unther……………The only way is to restore and jailbroke with the most recent “Tethered” jailbreak……………Don’t inatll the “Corona 5.0.1 Untether” intil it is updated to higher than
    “1.0-3″. Like “1.0-4″…………..Yeah………….Wait for that version………….That is the only way to make everything work before another update gets pushed out…………….Sorry. Way it is

  109. buddha Says:

    Steffwiz worked like a charm, thanks so much!

  110. megamanfre Says:

    Trying to download raheels fix now. Steffwiz is taking a while to load, but Im hoping itll fix the errors I keep getting. I cant even restore my cydia apps from most of the repos i had. the only one working for me is xsellize and i think the standard one.

    Anyone getting 504 Gateway Timeout messages?

  111. Z!G Says:

    It’s not Cydia or thr repo’s…………………IKt’s the untether……………..have tested and confirmed…………………….Only devices with the new untether have problems..Devices that are still tethered jailbroken load all sources just fine.

  112. Z!G Says:

    Nope………..the only thing that caused your repo problems is the new untether. Has absolutely 100% nothing to do with repo getting slammed, or busy servers………You got 2 coices:

    Wait it out til an update is released
    or
    Restore setip as new and tether jailbreak it
    DO NOT INSTALL CORONA TIL 1.0-4 IS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

    1.0-3 is junk……Needs fixed just like redsn0w 0.9.19b2 does………….DO NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    They both bring nothing but problems.

  113. POSIX Says:

    I got my two most important packages installed, 1. Lockdown Pro, and 2. Winterboard. After Steffwiz and All Sources have been installed (installation of both Steffwiz and All Sources was not flawless, POSIX was still timing out. Anyhow. After my iPhone 4 reboot, I went back to Cydia to install Lockdown Pro and Winterboard. It failed 5 times for both and on the 6th time, it worked. So I guess you have to be patient since many people are using the servers since yesterday.

    Thanks a bunch!

  114. Z!G Says:

    Like I said. Ya gots 2 choices…………….

    Wait…………..or restore and tether jailbreak.

  115. Anonymous Says:

    thats not true mine was tethered and still gave me problems im gettin fed up of iphone its supposed to be all simple but their just gay phones too many headaches for nothing

  116. Steve Says:

    Steffwiz installation restored my BB repos!!!

  117. POSIX Says:

    Looks like Lockdown Pro is not ready for 5.0.1 it kept me at safe mode. I had to remove it for now. I hope there’s an upgrade soon.

  118. KC Says:

    Just do hard reset. I did on my iPad 1 and working fine. Home and power button till apple logo appeared

  119. megamanfre Says:

    After doing the SteffWiz and All Sources install, I can see all the packages available on all my repos, but cant actually DL any of them. When I try it says it cant be found or I get a timeout error.

  120. Doode Says:

    Do you have lockdown pro working?

  121. David Green Says:

    All the sources were empty so I did a hard reset as mentioned above. Now Cydia wont even open it just returns to desktop

  122. from Chile Says:

    hi, need some help, i accidentally delete thebigboss repo in cydia sources, how can i get it back, im running iphone 4 ios 5.0.1 Untethered, thanks.

  123. master2738 Says:

    allright here we go. first off no one listen to this “ZIG” guy, he has no idea what hes talking about. the jb’s wouldnt have been released if they had a repository error.

    heres my story, So i did an untethered jaiblreak on my Iphone 4 (with redsnow not corona). everything went well, no probs. then, i found out that bigboss repo was empty when i brought it up. never had this problem before…..ever (at least not for a default source). so i did some research and found this site. upon scrolling i found “Raheel”‘s solution. at that point i was willing to try anything, so i downloaded steffwiz and all sources (and despite some POSIX errors they were downloaded). i rebooted my device. and was delighted to find that BB repo was no longer empty. but then i was wary, will the stuff in it download? so i gave some apps a go, and i got a couple http errors. but i just kept trying to download the app. and it eventually worked! i now have winterboard, activator, and sbsettings :D

    so my advice is, follow Raheel’s solution, and just keep trying to download the apps if u get any errors on the download :D

    PS: thank you so much Raheel, i have no idea why this works or how it works but im just glad it does….in fact….work XD

  124. Jared Says:

    Try again right after you get that error, that error is becuase the servers are full and couldn’t fetch the data, when I get that error I just try and download it again right away and it usually works within a couple tries, hopenthis helps.

  125. Jared Says:

    Yes I would def agree, but the error I was getting when trying to add the big boss repo wasn’t a error that was caused for congestion, it flat out couldn’t build it due to some error on how to handle new repos, I wish I would of got a screen shot of the error, but I did the fix reheel said to do and did a hard reboot and it worked, people who are still having problems could just try reinstalling cydia. Worth a shot. But I assure u that Evan thou the big boss repos are heavily utilized that unshould still be able to get a app or to from it here and there, vs not Evan seeing th items in the repo to download.

  126. Jared Says:

    Same goes for me, The http errors are due to the congestion on the server so just keep trying and it will work. All is working well with the new untethered jailbreak :)). I have found that I cannot use PDAnet 5.30 thou, when trying to turn on the wifi for tethering it basically doesn’t enable, anyone eles having this issue?

  127. Jared Says:

    U should read the forum buddy

  128. Si1ic0 Says:

    If you were having that many problems, you either did something wrong with your jailbreak, or just didn’t know what you were doing and were in way over your head. You could try researching more rather than throwing a temper tantrum (with poor grammar) on a forum. And using “gay” to imply stupid? What are you, 10? Grow up, kid.

  129. Neferupitto Says:

    Cydia’s currently not working properly. Hope they’ll fix it soon.

  130. Jughead Says:

    Totally works! If you are having POSIX errors, turn off wifi.

    Rock and roll bitches!!!

  131. @Lurekn Says:

    Jailbreak tethered with redsn0w 9.9.8
    This will install Cydia and all working repos

    Run New JB over this – installs untether and all repos still work NP

  132. rbrock Says:

    Here’s how I did it:
    Download the latest redsn0w 0.9.10b1
    Download the correct 5.0.1 firmware for you phone.
    Run resn0w and choose “extras” and then “Custom IPSW” – Preserve baseband with a custom IPSW.
    It will build the custom firmware and save it, you then restore that firmware to your phone in iTunes (option + click restore to choose). (backup first!)
    Once you’ve successfully restored your custom 5.0.1 firmware, run redsn0w again and choose “jailbreak.”
    And that’s it. The untethered jailbreak is built-in to this version of redsn0w.
    You can get your Gevey working the same as you did before.

    What are you talking about? Cydia is working just fine for me.

    Followed raheel’s steffwiz and allsource installs and all BB apps are loaded. Haven’t checked the Dev Team apps as they were empty as well, but I’m sure they have been restored as well. (Thanks Raheel, don’t even want to know how you figured that one out)

    Still getting HTTP errors when installing SBSettings, but at least the repo is full and I know I will eventually get my apps downloaded.

  134. Ian Says:

    I’m not getting the packages from BigBoss I have redownloaded plenty of times and Im just not getting them. what should I Do?

  135. freethemind Says:

    Go through raheems steps. Ignore the POSIX errors and just continue installing both Steffwiz and AllSources. It will take some time. Once done, go back to Cydia and check your BB repo. It should be full now. I didn’t reboot and it worked, some said they had to reboot. Try both.

    You may still have trouble installing, but keep trying is what is recommended. Eventually you will be successful.

  136. Dylan Ford Says:

    Just keep trying, it will work eventually! I tried installing SBSettings 10 times and it just finally worked! :D

  137. lafuente52 Says:

    Hi guys… my issue is that anytime i try to install Sbsetting the cydia says “The requested modifications cannot be applies due to required dependencies or conflicts that cannot be automatically found or fixed”…I´ve tried everything and it doesn´t work. Any idea?
    Thanks…

    I can not install SBSettings. I have an iPod Touch 4G running iOS 5.0.1 with an untethered jailbreak. I jailbroke, then rejailbroke and restored, then jailbroke once again. Every time I try to install SBSettings I get “HASH SUM MISMATCH”. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!

  139. Felix Says:

    I cannot get the Big Boss Repository going right.

    When I first jailbreaked it, there was no packages in it, so I removed it.

    I then manually SSH’d the repository into the iPhone but there’s still no packages showing up.

    Any suggestions?

  140. etiseekr Says:

    Everyone is having this same issue because of the huge load. It took me a dozen attempts at refreshing to get it to finally download the repository packages so bigboss showed apps in it. Only then could I succeed in doing searches.

    Also, if you’re using aptbackup or openbackup, expect them to fail to install some apps (silently) because the servers are so bogged down.

    I’ve run openbackup restore 3 times and each time it gets a few more. For others, I just go to cydia and install until it goes in.

    But make sure you see apps in the repository before trying any aptbackup/openbackup/etc… recoveries.

  141. Jim B. Says:

    I’m wondering if anyone else is having issues with Mobile Safari crashing after the update and jailbreak to 5.0.1 and redsn0w. It’s not even letting me get to the point of entering a URL before simply crashing back to the springboard… I have SDM and HomePage in Safari installed, but disabling them has not yet had an effect on the issue.

    From a programmers standing poing GO FUCK YOUR SELF. They are not free paid apps. they are apps that someone craked. I hope that repo won’t go up again.

    Any chance itunes wifi sync can be added to the available options in activator? Seems like there should be a better way then trolling through settings.

    I had the same issue…removed SDM, problem solved.

  150. Samuel Says:

    Hi everyone, i’m a relatively new jailbreaker and i got the same problem as the rest of you guys. However my friend whose twitter name is @yeremia.ang suggested i do this

    Error Cydia source FIX

    Use either iFile or SSH into your iPhone. Go to /etc/apt/sources.list.d and open cydia.list using Text Viewer. Now delete the source that you have emtered wrongly then save it.

    Next go to /var/lib/apt/lists/ and delete ALL files inside that folder except te folder “partial”. Now open the folder “partial” and delete all the files there. Last step, go to /var/lib/cydia/ and delete “metadata.plist”. Exit SSH (or iFile) and respring. Now you can see a difference on your Cydia. :)

    After which, the big boss problem was solved!

    Wish you guys all the best!

  151. Wiras Says:

    After doing Raheels method and it worked and i installed Winterboard my settingsicon and winterboard icon is white…I tried to “Just boot” in redsn0w (redsn0w_win_0.9.10b2), respring and normal reboot my ipod 4g but that didnt work either.

    Anyone have a solution?

  152. luke Says:

    i also had this problem but fixed it by removing safari download manager, i dont think its yet compatible with ios 5 as i cant get it working on ios 5.0.1 or just ios 5

  153. luke Says:

    i have followed your insrutions carfully and i am still unable to fix it!!! i think it is just too many users online as i can get some apps but not the good ones i want back

  154. Tommy Says:

    Nope… even my iPhone 4 running 4.3.3 will not download the latest packages from BigBoss… i think it’s completely offline.

  155. Moe Says:

    In my case, just deleting (or renaming) /var/lib/cydia/metadata.plist and restarting my iphone solve the problem.

  158. Ramzi Khalife Says:

    You guys are idiots franckly -_- . first if the winterboard’s screen is white , just redownload it that worked for me . if you can’t download preference loader and libhide , erase the big boss source from manage and then go the the cydia homepage , more package sources and then the first source will be the big boss . download it and it will be fixed . i’ll answer to all the other bugs cause i had more than 100 bugs with my iphone 4 ( version 5.0.1 ) and i downloaded the jailbreak ( unthatered or something like that but it still worked . ) if you have more bugs just write and i’ll try to answer

  159. Ramzi Khalife Says:

    ok for the persons who have safari that crashes the first 5 secs , just look at all the things that work with springboard in cydia. erase them all and reinstall them . that worked for me

  160. Ramzi Khalife Says:

    if someone downloaded installous and all his apps dissapeared , just shut your iphone completely then restart and they will reappear

  161. Ramzi Khalife Says:

    oh and btw for the persons who want infinidock and infiniboard for free, don’t download it from big boss . add the source sinfuliphonerepo.com

    Unlock worked fine for me on my Iphone4. But xBackup failed to restore cause it couldn’t find a backup, even when I restored my files in Itunes.

    Also the biggest problem with my Iphone is that the majority of the Apps (Angry Birds, Facebook, etc) fail to load. They close straight away.

    So you suggest full restore and rejailbreak??
    Can I ask if Cydia is working for you??

    Thanks again Ramzi

  202. Darkblade3891 Says:

    Hi everyone. Please help. I forgot to preserve my baseband before updating to iOS5.0.1 .. I was able to do the jailbreak untethered no problem, but can’t get the gevey unlock to work. The phone tells me I need a SIM from a supported carrier. Do I need to wait for ultrasn0w to find an unlock AFTER it’s been jailbroken? Or is there a way to do this now? Any help at will be appreciated. Thanks!

  203. Ramzi Khalife Says:

    hmmm . well the most problems on the devioces are caused by SBSetings . i suggest that you remove it and don’t put it back or you can always search in the support of apple.com

  204. Ramzi Khalife Says:

    well , if you want , download everything you need when you delete SBSetings and when you have all you need , put it back . i hope that helped you

  205. Ramzi Khalife Says:

    grrr just get over SBSettings it is the thing that makes 75 % of all the problems people are having with their devices

  206. Ramzi Khalife Says:

    the jailbreak and facetime aren’t related at all . it’s a whole other problem you’re having and i don’t think it’s because you jailbroke your ipod . ( try to rejailbreak )

  207. Ramzi Khalife Says:

    at least one person thinks of saying thx for the hard work the persons who make the jailbreak are making . + they’re doing it for free

  208. Ramzi Khalife Says:

    wait a sec . do you have SBSetings ?? if you have it just give up cause SBSetings is what”s making 75% of the problems and if you don’t want to delete it you’ll just need to live with it .

  209. Ramzi Khalife Says:

    just don’t install SBSetings cause it will cause you at least 20 more problems with your device

  210. Ramzi Khalife Says:

    just when it’s not into the computer , click on the power button for 3 secs , then click on the home button but don’t remove your finger from the power button for 15 secs and finally , remove your finger from the power button but don’t remove it from the home button and wait .

    Hello!

    I actually got the bigboss repo to work for me, after three days of agony.

    What I did was remove the bigboss repo (which was empty first) and then added it through the cydia mainpage, “More Package Sources.”
    Installed and then for some reason the bigboss repo was up and working for me.

    I’m untetered with the redsnow JB.

    I just came to say I jb my iPhone 4 2 days ago using redsnow after updating to ios 5 , everything works fine ;) all repos in Cydia work for me perfect as per usual, installous works fine, sbssettings works a charm altho certain toggles will not work and sbsettings push toggle caused a respring every time, and so did graviboard

  225. Magix Says:

    Also animated boot logos do not work as they were using greenpoisons dependency for 4.x.x, there is meant to be a fix to install animate fix for 4.x.x from Cydia it’s meant to work on 5.0.1 which simply is not the case as it will clash with other wares like sbsetting & , activator etc, any how these are the only complications which I have came across and I’m sure devs will be working to fix them/ update them in time but for now a big thankyou to all the devs n teams that make all the above possible ^^ xD they do deserve some appreciation from the whole hacking/jb scene n users ;)
