Things you will need to have installed before installing Cydia:

2. SSH the file from your computer to anywhere in your iPhone filesystem.
3. Open iFile and open the location where you saved the .deb file.
4. Tap the .deb file and press Install.

How to : Save and Reinstall A List of Your Cydia Apps

In case you upgraded your device to a newer version of iOS and want to keep your Cydia apps, themes, tweaks, package and etc from losing, here's a few simple steps to save your Cydia apps list and reinstall it again to your device.

Save your Cydia apps:

• Open Mobile Terminal (you can get it from Cydia)
• Enter this command: "dpkg --get-selections> cydia-apps.txt"
• Now we have created the Cydia app list file which called "cydia-apps.txt" in " / var / mobile "
• You are done, use your favorite SFTP client (Cyberduck (Mac OS X) or WinSCP (Windows) to SHH into your device).

Reinstalling your Cydia apps again:
Now I will submit the file called "cydia-apps.txt" to "/ var / mobile", after reinstalling Cydia and Terminal, type this commands:

• "su"
• Type your password (default password: alpine)
• "dpkg-set-selections "
• "apt-get dselect-upgrade"
• If you found problems type this command: "apt-get dselect-fix-missing-upgrade"
• Now Cydia will automatically reinstall all your packages.

Apple Put a Baseband Requirement on iOS 4.2.1 [WARNING]

Apple has iOS4.2.1 but not alone, it has merged some traps with this version for jailbreakers and unlockers with the introduction of a baseband requirement for iOS 4.2.1. Precisely, if you are using Saurik’s server or tiny umbrella and trying to restore 4.2.1 on an iPhone 4, you will end up in recovery mode and tiny umbrella will not be able to pull you out of recovery.

TheBigBoss: It seems that Apple has decided to put a baseband requirement on iOS. So at this point, if you are using Saurik’s server or tiny umbrella and trying to restore 4.2.1 on an iPhone 4, you will end up in recovery mode and tiny umbrella will not be able to pull you out of recovery. In this case, you will have to restore 4.1 again or you will have to restore 4.2.1 stock and be tether jailbroken. (Of course, I recommend 4.1 and not bothering with 4.2.1 at all). If you are an unlocker, this is a no brainier. Do not update to 4.2.1 even to test it at this point.

So we highly recommend to stay on iOS 4.1 and wait until the situation became stable, specially who want preserve their unlock. Stay tuned.
