Have you noticed that since updating to the iOS 5.0.1 firmware and Jailbreaking Untethered using RedSn0w 0.9.10b2, Corona 5.0.1 Untether or PwnageTool 5.0.1 that Cydia is sluggish, timing out or not refreshing? Ever since I Jailbroke my iPhone 4 running the iOS 5.0.1 firmware untethered Cydia became extremely slow. Cydia package source pages would not load and at some points I could not even refresh my sources. If you are experiencing these errors or any of the following:
- Community Sources (BigBoss, ModMyi etc.) are not working
- I cannot refresh Cydia
- Cydia is sluggish, slow and unresponsive
- I cannot download Cydia tweaks
This is simply because the servers powering these essential Jailbreak services like the BigBoss repo, ModMyi repo and even Cydia are under a lot of demand. This is because the first iOS 5 firmware generation Untethered Jailbreak was released and thousands upon thousands of people are trying to use Cydia at the same time. This puts very high strain on Cydia’s servers, Cydia tweak/theme’s servers and all of which is causing Cydia to become slow and unresponsive. Thus, it is not a problem related to Cydia’s software, it is simply a problem of too many people accessing Cydia at the same time.
If Cydia itself was the reason behind the sluggishness I am sure we would have heard from Saurik on the issue. While it is a possibility that these Cydia problems people have been experiencing are due to conflicts with Pod2G’s Untethered exploit, I think it is safe to say this is more of an issue of too many people trying access Cydia at once.

If im encountering a error while installing cydia tweaks like “cannot comply” it is because of this problem?
Hey there. I know this is maybe not the right topic but are you guys going to announce the winners of the giveaway? :)

Do you even know what Cydia is and what it has done for the community? If you don’t, you have no right to insult Cydia. I’d like to see you try and make something as awesome as Cydia.
Agreed. To me, cydia is a life saver
There are quite a few applications that are missing when used on jailbroken ios 5.0.1, i had ios 4.3 and there are so many more apps on cydia in this version, can anyone please tell me why this happens.
I can’t do anything on Cydia after upgrading iOS 5.0.1 and untethered jailbreak.
Just gtfo!
Did you not read the article?

These are problems being experienced. Applications, tweaks, etc are all pulled from the “community sources” point here. When those are being overworked and can’t refresh, you can’t download any of the apps from those sources.
there stupid Cydia! give good service or go to hell
Waiting very inpatient for it. I had over 200 games and I can’t even download installous
use cyder it awsome
Cydia is not openning!!!!!!
is this the untethered which we were waiting for ???!!!
Hello everyone! My name is Vladimir, and I believe I might have a solution to 5.0.1 Untethered Jailbreak Cydia problems:
Manage->Sources->Delete BigBoss repoCydia->More Package Sources->BigBoss(Add it)After this, I stop getting a “cannot comply” message on every tweak/package I hadn’t been able to install before(Winterboard, SBsettings, etc….) This has worked for me, but I can’t guarantee it will work for everyone. Best of luck to all of you, and as always – have a nice day!:-)
yourtube is not istalling on my 5.0.1 version
how could i install this
I used pwnage 5.0.1 to preserve my 01.59.00 baseband. But now cydia won’t work. I click on it and it does nothing. Any suggestions?
Good info. Its working for me
Worked for me too. THANK YOU
Worked for me too… thanks!

As of right now I can’t even get on wtf b*tches get off
Worked 100% thank you so much :)
If it weren’t for Cydia I wouldn’t have gotten my iPhone 4 back when it was stolen. A Cydia app took a picture of the thief and emailed it to me when they failed my passcode. So Cydia has saved me what, they $750 retail that it takes to replace an iPhone without a new plan?
Worked!!!Thank you!!
thanks heaps vladimir
cydia is 1 of the best software inventions,my ipod and ipad would be boring without it
