  18. Kalskroner says:

    For everyone that has the Jailbreak problem where some apps are removed after cydia tries to set itself up (or something simular):
    You should get replacement apps on your computer and then upload them to your device: Example:
    Safari: Opera Mini
    Unfortunately, I currently did not find an app store, and Cydia is gone, so You can’t really use installous for apps.
    I had this problem and could not resolve it via Restores, so that is what I did.

  37. Kaleah says:

    i jailbroke my IPhone 3GS on Absinthe 2.0.4 and first everything went smooth. The app cydia was there and everything seemed alright. all of a sudden it disappeared with my app store camera and some other factory made apps. i tried to back it up but itunees wont let me and i dont want to lose my info by restoring it. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!

  38. Dave says:

    For all who have had their stock apps removed after Cydia initialized …. this is for you!! Hopefully you have made a backup before you started. To get your phone jail broken do the following

    1.Go to iTunes and do a “Restore” (don’t restore from backup yet)
    2.After restore is complete rerun the Absinthe 2.0.4.
    3.After JB is complete let Cydia do it’s thing (make sure all apps are still there
    4.Go back to iTunes and “Restore from Backup” and that should do it.

    So far this has been repeatable in a 3GS and iPad 2. Hope it helps!!!
