If you’ve got a more than average knowledge of Cydia, and you’re able to solve the odd issue, please, please read on. As some of you will know, yesterday for the first time I used the Dev-Team’s new PwnageTool for the Mac to jailbreak the 3.0 firmware on my iPhone 3G. Everything was as sweet as a nut, until yesterday evening, when I started installing a few apps.

Frstly, I installed Cycorder, which by the way works perfectly on the 3.0 firmware, and had no problems. Then I installed Winterboard and a couple add-ons: pre 2.1 3g & Edge logos, LiveClock (for some reason doesn’t work on 3.0), and a carrier logo. Again, still no issues up until now. I then attempted to install the “All Sources” package from the “Repositories” section. I had this on my 2.2.1 firmware and basically it just gives you a great deal more sources and therefore a much greater choice of apps.

Whilst installing the All Sources app, it seemed to just stop halfway through and started to “Reload Data” as if it was complete. I thought little of it until I tried to install another app. I now get this error every time (screenshot below):

/var/cache/apt/archives/ifoneguide.nl_0-9_iphoneos-arm.deb

trying to overwrite `/Applications/Cydia.app/Sources/cydia/ifoneguide.nl.png’, which is also in package Cydia.

Error in Cydia (left) and error in Icy (right).

I believe “ifoneguide.nl” must have been one of the sources included in the All Sources package I tried to install. It seems maybe there was an error installing that particular and that’s why this is happening. Now, every time I try to install another application, it tries to install “iFoneGuide” with it and I get the error all over again.

I’ve tried reinstalling the All Sources package, I’ve tried manually adding the ifoneguide.nl source, I’ve tried removing this source, plus many other things and nothing seems to be working. Interestingly, when I go in to Cydia –> Sections –> Repositories, the iFoneGuide source is highlighted in green. I’m not sure what this means, but I’ve never come across it before. As you can see from the screenshots above, it’s not as if I can just live with it and continue to use the Icy app, because I also get it there.

Anyway, my last resort, which turned out not to be a good one, was to go in to Icy, remove Cydia, and reinstall it again. Now whenever I try to load up the Cydia app, it just crashed back to the springboard.

It seems I’m going to have to restore my iPhone again with the custom firmware I’ve already built, however, for future referrence, I’d really like to know if there’s a way around this issue, or if anyone has come across it before. I did do a Google search, however there was very little information on it and certainly no fix I could find.

Please leave a comment if you have the answer!

Desde hace tiempo he querido escribir este post, y se trata de tener en el Installer de tu iPhone o iTouch, todas (o casi todas) las sources que existen.

Y es muy sencillo y lo explicaré paso por paso para quienes son nuevos y no saben como agregarlas:

1. Ve a “Ajustes>General>Bloqueo automatico” y selecciona “Nunca” esto es por que se tarda mucho en acualizar todas las sources al momento de instalarlas.

2. Abre en Installer.

3. Si ya sabes como agregar las sources, ve al paso 4, si no, en la parte de abajo hay un “icono” de un “mundo” que abajo dice “Sources”.

4. Ya estando en Sources, en la parte de arriba hay 2 “Botones”, presiona el que dice “Edit” y luego el del otro lado dirá “Add”, presionalo.

5. Escribe esta Source: “http://blazecompany.googlepages.com/blaze.xml” y da click en OK

6. Presiona el boton de “Refresh” está arriba a la izquierda y espera a que se actualicen.

7. Abajo dice “Install” con un icono de un + (mas), da click en el y ve a la carpeta de Blaze e instala el que se llama Blaze Ultimate.

8. Ahora espera a que actualice, ten paciencia que es mucho tiempo.

9. Listo ya tienes todas o la mayoria de las sources.
