Asked By Jay H Tyson 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/14/2014

Hello,

I haven’t used Cydia in a while, but when I started running it today, I get this error message when trying to install new apps. Last time it worked just fine and I never had an error. Can anyone help me please to fix this error ?

Thank you experts !

You did not mention about your device. Follow the way to solve the problem:

 

1.   Your device is connected to internet with valid IP address

2.   SSH into your iDevice.

·         You need a jailbroken iDevice.

·         Open Cydia > "Search"

·         Write "OpenSSH" in the search field > result!

·         Install "OpenSSH" on your jailbroken device.

·         Download WinSCP.

·         Install and run WinSCP. [Make sure you have an active Wifi connection on your computer and iDevice.]

·         Input your iPhone's IP address [under "Host Name:" field in WinSCP.]

·         Root > User name

·         Alpine > Password

·         Press "Login" button

·         Press terminal button / "CTRL+T"

Click ‘Terminal’ icon in the WinSCP's toolbar to launch the Terminal.

Enter root password: [Enter "alpine" and hit the enter key.]
