Cydia not working after jailbreak #652
Description
I have an Iphone 5 with iOS 9.3.2 (13F69), I tried to jailbreak it with jbme4, but that only crashed safari and did not work - so I jailbroke it with the restore.sh script. Everything seemed to work, so I closed the terminal and did not save the logs...
After opening cydia i got the following error: "Could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/status - open (2: No such file or directory)".
After some searching, I found some old reddit posts on how to fix this, but nothing seems to work because I cant connect to openssh or get a terminal working.
What i tried so far:
- moved the lib folder to /var/mobile/Media/Books with iFunBox
- Sideloaded Filza with Sideloadly, that can't move the folder to /var because it has no permission
- Sideloaded mterminal (different versions), crashes immediately
- Sideloaded newterm, the only version that not crashes immediately is 1.0b1, but there I get the error "ForkException: Not allowed to fork from inside Sandbox"
- Tried to connect with iPhoneTunnel and iProxy
- Tried to move the folder with a ramdisk, but I was not sure to which /var to move (there were more than one)
Ideas that I can try:
- Sideload openssh like this
- recompile filza or newterm with custom entitlements with full file access (unlikely that it works)
Questions:
- can i just retry jbme4 or jailbreak with the script or will that brick my phone?
- should openssh be installed and work after the jailbreak?
- are there other options to restore cydia or install openssh.
My goal is to get openssh working, without resetting the phone (resetting and losing data is no option).
