Many a times it happens that you type bad errorfilled Repo url while adding Repo in Cydia. And later end up seeing that error everytime you start Cydia. And sometimes these sources don’t appear in the Sources List too.
What you need?
OpenSSH
SSH Client
Download Terminal from Cydia
How to use:
-SSH the cyfix script onto the iDevice and place it in /usr/bin. Edit the file permissions to 0775
-Open Terminal > and login via as admin. Then run the script cyfix which wouldask you the troubling source url. Add the Source url which gives you that error and it would be removed. Still confused? Follow these commands
su root
alpine
cyfix
<url>
The first instance when you run cyfix it would install that script. Once the installation part is done, just respring your device and do it again. This time it would ask you the url.
Some Cyfix Commands
cyfix -h – help
cyfix u – updates (Checks for auto updates and udpates itself)
exitnow – At any time if you goof up typing the url in between, just type this command and hit return. It would exit cyfix.
That should solve your problem.
Still stuck somewhere and clueless ? Drop a comment.
Can’t type in admin password help please?
Hey Bob,
The Admin password is not visible you just need to type it right and hit ‘return’
I guess i forgot to mention that.
Also cyfix was supposed to be launched in Cydia too, Search and check if its available.

Hello,

1. connect iphone 3g 3.1.2 to pc
2. run winscp and connect with iphone
3. copy data cyfix into usr/bin (i can’t run that file)
4. open (on iphone) terminal/mobileterminal and write “root” to register myself and take the password “alpine”
->but when i press return to register “root” i can’t type any more.
Can you help me?
thank you in forward
Thank you so much for posting this up!! ^^
i’m stuck too at the step where you change the permissions to 0775 – where do you do that? also, i’ve installed mobile terminal onto my iphone, but when i launch it, its only up for about 2 seconds and it closes.
Hey Tricia,
Once you SSH the file in the device, right click on the file and you would have the option to change permissions.
There is a new terminal version, i would update the post w/ that info soon.
