Tutorial How to remove Cydia Tweaks from your iDevice using your Computer/SSH

1. A pc (duh..)
2. WinSCP (get it here https://winscp.net/eng/index.php)

Refer to part 2 of this tut to know how to use WinSCP and or read the whole tut to see how to install tweaks without the use of cydia

 

I recently installed a harmful tweak that broke cydia and would respring every time i opened it, so today i will show you how to remove tweaks without cydia (you can aslo do this with terminal and Filza/iFile if you have it installed on your device)

let's get started. In WinSCP go to var then lib then dpkg and once in dpkg you'll see status. I want you to double click it

This notepad should pop up. click the thing that i circled to search for a specific tweak

I will be using mikoto as an example and you only need the Package (the thing i circled) i suggest copying it so you don't forget it

Now exit out of the notepad and click on the thing i cricled

this is what you should see

type in dpkg -r packagename. Of course put your own package name in there not "packagename" exapmle: dpkg -r net.anglexwind.mikoto then press Execute

you should be finished now

mikoto is no longer there in my tweaks and again if you have both Terminal and Filza/iFile installed you can do this process on your device

Put your device in safemode, open Cydia and remove the harmful tweak. Restart/respring and you are all good. Easy right?
