A few weeks ago we’ve seen a first look at the UI changes in the upcoming Cydia update, and today we’ll show you how to get it even though you didn’t update to iOS 4.2.1 and jailbreak. We’re not sure why Cydia wasn’t officially updated, but to update to 4.2.1 and jailbreak using redsn0w is not the only way to get the new build.
HOW TO:
1. First you will need a jailbroken iPhone/iPod Touch running iOS 4.0/4.0.1/4.0.2/4.1 or iPad running iOS 3.2/3.2.1/3.2.2/.
2. Next you need to download this Cydia deb file.
3. Using a SFPT client ( Cyberduck on Mac, WinSCP on Windows – or any other client ), SSH into your iOS device and upload the deb file in /private/var/mobile/documents/
4. There are a few ways to install the deb file:
4.1. Using Terminal on Mac ( or Putty/Terminal on WinSCP ) type in:
ssh root@your.ip.address
alpine
cd /private/var/mobile/documents/
dpkg -i cydia_1.0.3366-1_iphoneos-arm.deb
4.2. Using MobileTerminal on your iOS device , type in:
su root
alpine
cd /private/var/mobile/documents/
dpkg -i cydia_1.0.3366-1_iphoneos-arm.deb
4.3. Using iFile ( found in Cydia ) browse to /private/var/mobile/documents/ tap on the deb file and choose installer.
After you installed it, just respring your iOS device, and that’s it.
