The problem: I jailbroke my iOS device using Yalu Jailbreak. Upon opening Cydia, it’s showing “Could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/status — open (2: No such file or directory). This package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.”
Is there a solution? Yes!
Fix Cydia Could Not Open File /Var/lib/dpkg/status
Some users have tried to use the “Erase All Content and Settings” option in their Settings app, but that didn’t resolve this problem.
Here are the steps:
- Download the NewTerm .deb from here
- Mac users can use iOS App Signer to turn it from .deb to .iPA. Windows users can follow this video or this.
- Download Cydia Impactor from here and sideload the MobileTerminal.ipa to your iOS device
- Go to the official site of i-Funbox and download it.
- Download the “lib.zip” file from Mediafire.
- Open iFunbox and navigate to /var/mobile/Media/Books then import the ‘lib’ folder to that directory
Last but not least, open MobileTerminal on your iPhone or iPad and type in the following commands.
type su
type in your password. default is alpine
type: cp -R /var/mobile/Media/Books/lib /var
Cydia should start working again. For those who have either iFile or Filza and Mobile Terminal installed already, you can start from Step 4 and forward.
How to Fix com.teiron.pphelper error in Cydia
When I finished troubleshooting the “Could Not Open File…” error there is another one that pop out and this one says something like this:
trying to overwrite ‘/Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries’, which is also in package com.teiron.pphelperns
This problem is a bit easier to resolve since it doesn’t require a computer or installing another app. Switch over to the Installed tab and look for an app called PP Helper. Go ahead and uninstall that tweak. Respring your iOS device, and you can start installing Cydia tweaks as usual again.
ForkException Error
I received several messages today from readers asking about a new error in Mobile Terminal that says: “Not allowed to fork from inside Sandbox.” This error message usually appears when your iOS device is not in a jailbroken state. If your iPhone or iPad is running 9.x.x, then use the Pangu app to re-jailbreak it.
Cydia is Showing DPKG_LOCKED
This problem appears when a user is trying to install a package from Cydia, and during the installation, it shows the DPKG_locked error.
If you want to fix this problem, try the following steps:
- Just like the tutorial above, we’re going to need some sort of SSH client to login into our device. I recommend using PuTTY regardless of your computer OS (Windows or Mac).
- Connect your iPhone to the computer
- Open PuTTY and enter the following info t it: Host IP: 127.0.0.1 and Port 22
- Your login credentials will be root / alpine (default password)
- Now type in the following command: dpkg –configure -a
- Press enter and then logout of the screen
After you disconnect your iOS device, try to open the Cydia and install a tweak from the Changes tab. See if the error continues to show up. If it does, comment down below the error code, and we’ll try to help.
It is not worked for me. In Terminal it said ” -sh: type:: command not found ” Please help me
make sure you type “su” no spaces, no caps, nothing
i need to put this near the top for all of the people ahving the problem with the code like i was i did some browsing i found a working code, make sure you follow it right down to the spaces and the dash between cp and r
cp -R /var/mobile/Media/Books/lib /var
then after type- mkdir /var/log/apt
then go to cydia/installed apps/ then find the blue tweak called pp 3.0 and delete it. an there you go happy jailbreaking
thanks man , I want to say in addition : leave a space between
cp -R after this another space so cpspace-Rspace/var/mobile/Media/Books/libspace/var
This is for the people who have 0 experience in this
it so help thx a lot, i miss that spelling space over and over
thanks it worked a charm
It doesnt work command say cp: missing destination file operator after ‘/var/mobile/Media/Books/lib/var’ *allready do all the thing stepbystep( im using filza and already have mcommand, move the lib after download to Books but that error keep poppin
спасибо большое
i cant get mobile terminal
me toooo
please help
where to find mobile terminal?
cydia apps doesent working
where is the mobile terminal???
please helpppppp
realy you are awesome dude it works for me thank you soooo much man, you can drag the lib file on file systeme RAW and then on Books directly it’s the same
If i drag into Raw System File and then Books ,
what is the commands will be that I have to type on Mobile Terminal
Please help me
It is the same. Some people won’t be able to access the Books folder, going through the raw folder (the ones without AFC 2).
The iBooks folder you see on the top level, is basically only a shortcut to the mentioned location. And then you can actually access it.
Long story short: The command is the same.
command? not woking..not getting caps and spaces..
Umm. In mobile terminal on iOS 10. It says fork exemption! Plz help
Can you tell me how to do it
Worked for me!! Thanks so much!!!
Hey quick question, when I open up ifunbox, i can not find the navigation listed above. There is no var/mobile options, looked through all the folders and everything. What am i missing? i dowloaded the terminal and it is installed on my device, downloaded iphonebox, but can find the proper navigation to drop the lib file into
You can drag and drop folder into the iBooks as well. No need to go to the directory if you can’t find it.
how i get the terminal???
please help
Hey it do not worked for me. Please help me! 🙂
Hey it doesn’t work for me. Pls help! 🙂
Please be more specific
Hey I have the exact problem and I followed your steps until using iFunbox moving file step.
I couldn’t do it because according to ifunbox im not jail-broken yet. But according to pangu app, it says your phone is jail-broken.
What happened to me before was I jail broken it and rebooted my phone and tried to reactivate the jailbreak, but it always led me to a dark screen. So I erased all my data and reset my phone from settings thinking I could do the whole thing from zero. But the Cydia app is still there no matter how I reset it.
I didn’t back up because I didn’t have any valuable data in my phone, so I couldn’t restore to back up to remove cydia, but I don’t want to restore my phone from itunes which will update the ios to unjailbreakable new ios version.
What should I do?
I successfully installed terminal though. Just can’t move that file to the path in iphone.
Paste it in the top level iBooks folder. It’s basically only a shortcut from iFunbox to that mentioned location. Then it should work.
Same problem but where is the ibooks folder?
I’m having the same problem please if you fix it help me out I tried everything here and it didn’t work it could find the file which I know it’s there
I just come up with an idea of putting that file into the ipa and then after installation I’ll copy that file to the var location. Wish me luck
Good luck!
It worked lol
it worked, but when i go ahead and install something from cydia, like activator for example. it falls short because there’s an error telling me that it’s trying to overwrite something.. bla bla mobilesubstrate/dynamic bla bla. something like that. any idea?
Same here.. yet i followed the instructions to the ‘T’ .. have you found a work-around to this yet?
When i drab the deb into IOS APP SIGNER it does not let me create IPA. It says i was unable to resolve the issue with codesigning?
any ideas
thank you!
Check the certificate trust setting in Keychain and make sure it’s not marked as “Always”.
Amazing! I got it working. I thought i’d be waiting months for the new jailbreak. thank you and have a great day
for me keychain just says “waiting for approval from other device” what do i do then
Hey I’ve been trying to do these steps but when I type Su into mobile terminal it’s asks for the password , the password I put in is incorrect , which password are we supposed to be putting in ? Also tried alpine. Still saying wrong password
Really? alpine is the default password unless you’ve changed it before.
Hey there, whenever i try to put in the password i type it in the keyboard however it does not write on the screen. i try pressing every key in the keyboard and none of them work when it asks for my password. i can type in “su” fine but when it asks for the password my keyboard does not work and i can only press enter
hi same here.
what is the solution to this?
guys, its just invisible, still works the same
Si sirve un poco complicado por que no se mucho de esto pero todo resulto bien…
100% Working.
Thanks
OMG OMG OMG You SAVED MY Life:) i love you lol
wont work on last part cp: missing destination file operand after /var/mobile/Media/Books/lib/var
i put the folder lib on ibooks because i cant see the var/mobile 🙁
Same here, help us please 🙁
See my previous reply 🙂
hey in i funbox went in raw file storage then var then dragged the lib folder there didn’t need to do anything with the mobile terminal and it worked.
Hey Brandon,
That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing.
unzip the lib file and move it here var/mobile/Media/Books
I don’t have anything under var and i cant move the MobileTerminal.IPA through cydia impactor because it says ipa.cpp:101 cannot find .app/info.plist
Someone please help me
So i typed in the command and it says that the there is no such file or directory. Any advice?
Same here plz help guys
FOR ALL PEOPLE WHO HAVE “missing destination file operand after /var/mobile/Media/Books/lib/var”
Just unzip the lib.zip to have a lib folder and then, copy this folder to var/mobile/Media/Books
Just worked for me, awesome 😀
How can you tell me
AWESSOOOMMEE, Merci
thanks
I have problem with signing ipa with cydia impactor. Problem with certificate. How can i solve that. And also i dont see place to put lib file in ifunbox
I have ifile and other but couldnot open just blink and nothing. Plz help me
Thank you so much for this. It worked perfectly. The only thing that messed me up was that I screwed up the spacing in the terminal command line on my first attempt–very important!!–second attempt went without any problems whatsoever. This is an easy fix just takes a little figuring out.
thats where im having issues whats the spacing?
OMFG, you just saved my day/week
Maybe im typing the command wrong? Could someone give exact representations of where the spaces are and what not?
It worked but I get an error “Trying to overwrite ‘/Lubrary/MobileaSubstrate/DynamicLibraries’,…” How do I fix this?!
Same here
Yes, please help with this!
where do i open mobile terminal? i cant find plz help!!!!
Should be on your iPhone.
i got the terminal but i cant type alpine in for some reason i typed “su” then return then password comes up and i cant type a single thing for some reason plz help!!
Just type the password and enter , for me it was the same issue you can’t see nothing and it seems your not typing but you are good luck
in terminal i typed after i type “su” password comes up and i cant type anything ito the space someone help am i typing it wrong?
I’m having the same problem some help^
So when I try to sign the app with the app signer, I get “error extracting ipa file” how do I fix this? Thanks in advance 🙂
When i type cp-r /var/mobile/media/books/lib/var it always so missing destination
Plz help
Remove var at the end and see what happen.
Great Instruct. Thank You!
Glad to help 🙂
not allowed to fork inside sandbox ……..plz help
What do you mean?
I am having the same problem. cannot access ifunbox sandbox to access var related files
nevermind, I know exactly what he’s saying now. after changing lib.zip to lib (unzip) inside the terminal on my phone it says cannot fork from inside sandbox. I don’t know what it means but it renders the terminal unusable.
same here, i found out it means it wont run because my phone is not jailbroken.
im using a semi-tethered jailbreak of yula on ios 10.1.1 on iphone 9,3
Receiving the same error message –
ForkException
Not allowed to fork from inside Sandbox
Does this mean I’m SOL at this point?
thank you for your great support 🙂 finally in cydia i can get source and repo. but i could not install any of them. there is problem with
Directory ‘/var/log/apt/’ missing
and
sub-process /usr/libexec/cydia/cydo returned an error code (2)
plz help
i google it find solution to fixed but need apple file conduit “2” which is impossible with cydia. so i couldnt find var folder in ifunbox. it show my iphone is jailed.
you need a directory to copy it into, make sure you’re using a space for /var.
Ex: (cp -R /var/mobile/Media/books/lib) /var
Whats in the parentheses has to be copied to the /var destination.
And when seeing returned error codes (1) or (2) its just stating that the script trying to be processed ran into an error. Which can be fixed with Terminal.
So in result you are typing
cp -R /var/mobile/Media/books/lib /var
^make sure there is a space
Ok, I have a solution for all of you having problems;
When you open cydia and you get the error about the missing lib file, LOOK and take NOTE of where cydia is looking for the lib file.
Cydia was not looking in /var/mobile/Media/Books for me, it was only looking in /var/”lib”.
So I just copied lib into var and it worked without using terminal.
Hope this helps.
Where did you make the change? What do you mean about not using terminal?
Please help!
Thank you sooooooooo much ! I’ve tried everything for 3 days and your instructions were the only one that ACTUALLY WORKED ! *side note* I didn’t have to do anything with Mobile Terminal.
can you tell me where the “var” location is to copy the lib file
You’r the man! Worked like a charm. Much appreciated.
No problem 🙂
You sir, are a GOD, thank you for your intelligence i don’t know where i’d be without it in this situation. This is MUCH appreciated 🙂
No worries and thank you for helping others out.

Many thanks TEEAYEAND

same here .. WE NEED HELP PLEASE
Is there anyplace else to get the lib.zip file needed to execute this fix? The link in the tutorial is broken.
“Error (429)
This account’s links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled!”
🙁
Not really good at stuff like this can anyone recommend a video tutorial or step by step as I’m new to this much appreciated if possible
if you have ifile do this
1- delete this file first DynamicLibraries
/Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries
2- creat new folder and rename to apt on here var/log/apt
restart your mobile and okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Thanks you so much. My cydia now works just fine!
is there supposed to be a space after “cp”? and a space after “/lib” i get these two error messages if i put the space after “cp” i get cp: invalid option — ‘ / ‘
if i put no space there i get No such file or directory ive tried copying straight to the iBooks ive tried straight to Books ive even read every single comment to see if i can find a solution but nothing is working.
me too
i dont can to add mobileterminal in cydia impactor because of this problem cannot find .app/info.plist
Can we get help for this^???
I can’t find var on ifunbox, if I drag and drop Lib to iBooks instead what do I have to type into MobileTerminal to fix the database error?
its just books under general storage
What if there is nothing in general storage?
HELLO.
AFTER I DO EVERYTHING WROTE THERE I GOT THIS MESSAGE ,
/var/mobile root ;
what should i do ?? help me please
Deleted cydia application through the ifile (I spotted all had cydia the name and blacked out) and now I can not install through the jailbreak cydia again what to do? I have remade the jailbreak process in ios 9.3.3 I get the msg saying that the phone is jailbreakon but cydia not appear. Some applications are still functional as Filza Gamegen Flex but nothing cydia.
Most are getting stuck in the MobileTerminal portion. if you have everything right up to this point, the main issue is going to be typing the command correctly…. there is a “space” after “cp”, “-R”, and “lib”
cp -R /var/mobile/Media/Books/lib /var
if you have the correct space inserted, this should work.
THANKS for the original post! helped me, and it WORKS!
You helped a lot. It worked. But unfortunately things in cydia are the same. Do not know what else to do. i’m troubled with this over 5 days.
me too
I think i am the only person to get it done but still no packages in Cydia. hahahah
Thank you so much for pointing out all the spaces. I had got 2 but had missed 1 before you pointed it out. Now it is working like a charm. Appreciate that.
It worked! I Love You! Thank u thank u thank u!!! 🙂
Thank you sooo much<3 You saved my life !!! FOR EVERYONE GETTING STUCK AT THE LAST STEP:
There is a space after the cp, the -R, and the lib portion.
This helped me! Hope it helps!
is the var/media/books in the general storage system or is it in the raw file system. my iphone is jailbroken but it wont let me access raw system because it keeps saying its not jailbroken. ifun wont let me put mobile terminal in the cydia impactor either. any help would be awesome. thanks 🙂
same here…
well i got the books to work now the only issue im having is the info.plst folder. wont install mobile terminal on it. is it becaue my device isnt jailbroken? it is but it say its not
thank you! worked for me.. i kept messing up in the mobile terminal entering.. remember there is a space before you start to type in anything
Thanks a lot. I had a lot of trouble finding tutorials on the internet but this tutorial worked flawlessly. Thanks!

Thanks a lot it works for me you saved someone’s happiness .
DUDE YOU SAVED MY LIFE
thanks it helps me
cp -R /var/mobile/Media/Books/lib /var
here is the actual working code, make sure you follow it right to a to including spaces and the – between cp and r , there is one space then a ” – ” .
I cant install MobileTerminal
What’s the problem?
My phone is jailbroken on 9.3.3 using the Pangu jailbreak. I was able to load the mobile terminal by pasting the zip file into the “Books” folder. I signed in using su and alpine and get the promt “iphone:/var/mobile root#”, but when I type in cp -R /var/mobile/Media/Books/lib /var I get an error
“cp: cannot stat ‘/var/mobile/Media/Books/lib’ no such file or directory”
I am using iFunbox and can’t get into the raw file system, only the user file system. Does anyone have a suggestion on a fix?
There’s a space at Books/lib/ var
Between / and var put a space
Working code:
cp -R /var/mobile/Media/Books/lib /var
I’ve been using that code and I still get the same error. I’ve re-entered it again several times and checked for errors but can’t get it to work. Would placing the zip file into the books folder be causing any issues? I wasn’t able to copy the whole folder to put into books, it kept opening the sub folders on me so I out in the zipped file. Any other ideas if that is ok?
Thank you
go to your file on the pc and right click mouse copy then go to fun box to the directory another mouse click and paste that shit
Thanks Paul, swear I tried that several times before but it worked this time.
Now the code didn’t put up an error, but just went back to iphone: /var/mobile root#
I closed terminal and tried cydia again but got the same errors. I went through the steps again and put in mkdir /var/log/apt as suggested but it said that the file already exists.
I tried to then go to cydia/installed apps but couldn’t find it in iFunbox and can’t see any installed apps when I open cydia.
Any suggestions? Thanks
Since the cydia error is “could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/status” I just checked iFunbox for the lib/dpkg/status folder and it’s still not there after adding the lib folder in the fix.
Thank you man after i write exactly this it worked.
Thank you bro
Thanks for the help Paul and Nate, I got it to work! I went to the reddit tutorial and saw an answer to check to see if there was a second “lib” folder inside the first one. Mine had a main “lib” folder and then a second one inside that led to the 4 folders.
OP:
make sure the lib folder you drag in, doesn’t have another lib folder inside of it. It should just be lib, and when you double click in, should bring you straight to the other 4 folders.
Was having the same issue as you, Jim. Thank you for your comment, it helped me a lot.
Oh my god! It worked! I love the guy who created this tutorial <3
the terminal is now showing up..can anyone help?
Can i try this to recover the files in sauriks repo.. For me to use cydia eraser and erase all jb related files so that i can stay on 9.3.3 and rejailbreak?
Im sooo HAPPY! It worked!! My iPhone is currently running cydia eraser to have a clean ios 9.3.3!! It was a bit confusing at first because im not a tech guy too much but it did worked! Sauriks repo came back! Able to install cydia eraser! After this im gonna restore my files and apps and rejailbreak! Thank you so much man. You save my Phone from updating.. God bless.
Im getting cannot create directory permission denied, can anyine help? 🙁
how did you find /var/mobile/Media/Books in ifunbox
if you copy the lib folder and keep backing out of folders you will ge tthe the var folder
IMPORTANT: Hey so everything worked, or so I thought. After I typed in the command, I pressed enter and and It didn’t display an error message at all, it just looked like i was ready to type another command. Before this, I typed in the right command and it said it wasn’t found, cause I origionally had the lib file zipped.. I unzipped it, and now it shows no error, but when I open cydia, I still get the stupid message error thing. Please help, I feel like i’m so close here
OMFG THANK YOU SO MUCH, everyone kept telling me to just restore and update, i was just about to, then I found this. THANKS SO MUCH
Could,’t find the Var directory 🙁 how to do ?
same. How do you find the var?
Thank you soo much
FORK EXCEPTION: NOT ALLOWED TO FORK FROM INSIDE SANBOX ?
receiving same error here too…..
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was so close to just giving up on jailbreaking. I’m on 10.2 btw.
Would you be able to help me out – [email protected]
What is your problem?
it’s showing fork exception not allowed in sandbox i guess. there seems to be no solution to that problem i guess
Fix: http://gyazo.com/2f96bbf62c0230e8524e6efcdbb9bda5
http://disq.us/p/1fvp4yc
damn, same forkexcemption error
how do you put the phone in jailbreak mode?
ForkException
Not allowed to fork from inside Sandbox
did you find a fix for this issue?
how do you find the var in ifunbox?
any new about forkexcption ios 10.2
iFunbox also doesn’t recognize my phone as jailbroken tho yalu insists. FORK EXCEPTION… Bout to give up on this one for the day.
Persistence prevails when all else fails…. SO i still couldn’t get mobile terminal to work…. BUT I got around this FORKEXCEPTION BS by using iFunbox to create a usb tunnel with my phone. Then by using Putty to ssh into my phone. From here follow the command lines above for mobile terminal. PSA for some reason Filezilla and WinSCP gave me errors but putty worked flawlessly.
Was able to download MTerminal in Cydia afterward and its seems to work fine.. MobileTerminal still gives me FORKERROR… maybe side loading MTerminal initially instead would solve this whole problem… Good luck to everyone else.
Repo for newest Cydia beta http://apt.saurik.com/beta/cydia-arm64/
Hey can you do a step by step tutorial I’m kinda confused but I seriously need help. I’m getting the same error fork exception
First you’ll need both iFunbox, and Putty, both free downloads with an easy Google Seach… I used the iFunbox v4.0 Preview.
Open iFunbox and plug in your device into computer.. Under iPhone in iFunbox, open the Toolbox tab. Then Click on USB Tunnel… you should see your phone with iOS port 22 and PC Address as 127.0.0.1:22. This confirms the tunnel is active, if not add new USB Tunnel at Port 22.
Now we have a USB Tunnel, Open Putty.exe and for host put “127.0.0.1” Keep port at 22 and make sure SSH is checked. When the terminal pops up Login as “root” password is “alpine”.
Now you should see “iPhone:~ root#” at this point you have root level access of your phones file directory. You can proceed as if your MobileTerminal was working.
type su
type in your password. default is alpine
type: cp -R /var/mobile/Media/Books/lib /var
Now Cydia shouldn’t give your that horrendous error when you open and if you want a mobile terminal download MTerminal through Cydia after adding the repo source from my previous comment. MoblieTerminal still isn’t’ working for me ATM but MTerminal is comparable.
Hope this helps those suck on FORKEXCEPTION.. Best Wishes
How do I find my password? alpine doesn’t work. also it tells me to type: cp –help
Alpine is the Default password in DropBear the SSH Client packaged with Yalu. Not sure where your having trouble here… All else fails you can try to sideload MTerminal by downloading the .deb converting to .ipa(google) and running the commands there.
I don’t know what I did wrong and I can’t explain, so here is a screenshot of the coding process for me. http://imgur.com/gallery/KE3sr
HELP! I followed all the steps and i see “… root#”, after I typed in “su”, but it doesn’t ask for a password. Then i tried to type in “alpine”, but it just says “sh: alpine: command not found”. Please help!!!
Help! I followed all the steps till I see the “root#”, but after typing in “su”, it doesn’t ask for the password or anything, then if I type in “alpine”, it just says “sh: alpine: command not found”. Please help!
Not sure why, It won’t prompt you for a password, its trickily blank. Did you make sure Yalu confirmed your device is already jailbroken?
It doesn’t work, still FOREXCEPTION
Are you still using Mobile Terminal? I couldn’t get Mobile Terminal to work, You need MTerminal from Cydia(see above). If you followed the steps correctly even though mobile terminal gives you FORKEXCEPTION, Cydia won’t give you the “Could Not Open File /Var/lib/dpkg/status” error and you can update Cydia/Sources.
just wanna thank you i got it working for me to get rid of that stupid error
thanks a trillion!!!!! been breaking my head on this one for the past few days
That would be appreciated – I am running 10.2, this is occurring on 2 devices I have right now
same u I’m stuck on frok
if u have solved plz tell me
I tried but I cant type anything in command prompt in putty
where do I find the var folder? pls help
i found a fix, if you had ifile installed on your idevice then you are abble to copy the lib folder and past it into the var and it should work fine. i hope i helped people 🙂
Thank you mate, this actually worked for me. Those who are getting error ”no such file or directory” make sure to copy the lib folder present inside the main lib folder when you unzip the lib(.)zip file. When you unzip the lib(.)zip there is another lib folder inside the first one, so make sure you copy the inner lib folder via ifunbox.
Second, the code has spaces, make sure to put them correctly
cp(space)-R(space)/var/mobile/Media/Books/lib(space)/var
I hope this will solve your problem.
Thank you for sharing 🙂
i found a solution for the error …instaed of copying on /var/mobile/Media/Books …..just copy the lib folder on /var/lib …using ifile or ifunbox…..ifunbox is easy to use just drag and drop ……enjoy
Thanks for sharing!
hi so when i paste the files in var it says i cant what should i do

Thanks a lot , it worked on iOS 9.3.2 iphone 5s
Now, the Cydia Impactor will not change my deb. to an IPA. file and I have no way on doing this
I am iOS 10 and this app will not delete off my phone at all. Its driving me crazy.
You need to use iOS App Singer to convert first.
Hey guys, it didn’t work for me 🙁 I pasted the dib folder (not zip) in the books folder on ifunbox but still… the command on the terminal doesn’t work. Also I don’t have any var folder, what can I do ? Please help!

i got the cydia error dpkg_locked and don’t know how to fix it. Yes I still do need help none of the methods have helped me. I want my jailbreak back. I’m using an iPhone 5s on iOS 9.3.3 and it’s jail broken but got that error code.
I lost you during the chat. Still looking into this at the moment.
Any solution for this problem? iOS 10.2 jailbreak , unfortunately I deleted lib folder then ifile and tweaks working and can’t install from cydia. Wants to reset my phone and stay on 10.2. I can’t install “Cydia Eraser” cause of this problem .
Any suggestions? IFile and filza can’t work but only terminal works now . I can move delete any file by terminal. Tell me , what can I do now?
Cydia eraser wouldn’t of worked for 10.2 anyway. Reset the device from Settings and hope is pulls through. From there you can use the yalufix IPA to fix the jailbreak file system.
Trying to fix dpkg blocked when im pressing open in PuTTY(already put in 127.0.0.1 and 22) the command open, but theres an error pop up it say “network error: Connection refused” and i cant type anything in the command
Download LIb from https://www.dropbox.com/s/e2opxpmas9y1qn6/lib.zip?dl=0
Go to /Var and delete Lib folder.
Extract the lib.zip to the /Var
This way you put the new lib directory and reboot phone .
So it’s been a week since i’ve been having trouble with Jailbreak on iPhone 5s iOS 9.3.3. One of the problems ( which is the one that worries me the most ) is this, i can’t install or remove or anything… It loads like normal but then it gets stuck on “Loading” forever. If anyone can help me and or/ tell me what’s wrong with it please comment or Inbox me. Thanks
i love you

THANK YOU!!!
I’m late to this article, but I had coolbooter on my 4S, did an “erase all content and settings” so i could give it to someone and neglected to deleted the coolbooter install prior. not the phone has two partitions, cydia is on the home screen by default and does not pull any sources/packages. same error described at the beginning of the article. I followed your procedures here and got to terminal on the phone and I have the cannot fork inside sandbox error. no amount of rebooting and running my phoenix jailbreak is fixing this. Any ideas? Thanks.
How can I download terminal if my cydia is crashed.??????? Please help. Can’t found iPad for iOS 9.3.3

I try with “Cydia is Showing DPKG_LOCKED”but doesn´t help 🙁
thanks so much bro
if anyone who has the “ForkException Error” ,try ssh to your iphone via a PC or MAC in the same LAN ,just like below:
type: ssh root@your-iphone-ip
type: alpine
type: cp -R /var/mobile/Media/Books/lib /var
then cydia will work well.
How do I open mobile terminal?
