TuT [Tutorial] How to install Cydia on iOS 8.x.x using the Pangu8 Jailbreak!

Rook · October 23, 2014

Just look on iphonehacks the amount of people having problems, various from the start all the way through, dare say saurik will update cydia quickly as most wont try commands etc.. lol

Yeah, people are lazy. They shouldn't even be Jailbreaking though. This Jailbreak release was meant only for Developers to update their tweaks for iOS 8...

Can you open the Pangu app -> Manager -> Remove and see if Cydia Installer Package is there?

Yep they were both there from the start, tried uninstalling them and trying to right click on properties (in my iphone with winscp ) and manually changing the octal from 0644 to 0777 but none of that was needed when i decided to type in the command word "reboot" when i started from scratch!

I wanted to strip the apps from cydia as most i didnt even use and wanted to start a fresh and add as and when!

i just got the cydia app on my ipad 4, but this time it was a bit different

I installed the Pangu app then checked the Pangu manager file and this time there wasn't a cydia installer and cydia translations files there which was strange as the iphone 4s there was from the get go, so i got the winSCP up and running and i got the 2 deb files (and i forgot to mention this last time) i clicked on the properties of each on my laptop (windows 7) and both files were blocked as they came from another computer, i unlocked these and then transfered both files over to the /var/root folder, i then checked and found that this time in the media folder on the ipad i had the /var/root/Media/AutoInstall/ so i put these in the folder and got the winSCP Terminal/Console up and typed "reboot" and cydia didn't show up.

So then i decided to put them back in var/root and typed in: dpkg -i *.deb and hit the Execute button, waited 30 seconds then typed reboot and it worked cydia folder showed up

All i can think of is as apple software grows and things change this is the reason the /var/root/Media/AutoInstall/ folders were on the ipad but not the iphone 4s

Iphone 4s is version 8.1 (12B411)

Ipad 4 is version 8.1 (12B410)

Now i am going to fiddle and see what apps work with ios 8

That's strange.

No tweaks work in iOS 8 at the moment due to Cydia Substrate not being updated. Apps do work. Apps like MovieBox and other that do not require CS work.

Reboot your iDevice, and if it's not installed, try running the command on PuTTy Terminal.

Also check the above replies for fixes.

Okay, do this.

Open the Pangu app on your Home Screen, go to Manager -> Remove and uninstall "Cydia Installer" package then power down your device.

Next, power up your iDevice and using WinSCP, copy the Cydia.deb and the lproj.deb to /var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall/ (If the folders do not exist, just create them). Set permissions to 777 to the Cydia Folder and the 2 .deb files using WinSCP.

Now open up WinSCP console by pressing CTRL+T and type in there "reboot" (without quotations). You phone will now reboot and you should have Cydia on your HomeScreen if you did everything right.
