Today Cydia keeps crashing for Apple iPod touch and iPhone users. Cydia is the main app that people use on their jailbroken devices. This post will show how you can fix the Cydia crash if you are experiencing it. There is no need to restore your device to fix it. I experienced this problem and following these steps fixed it for me.
1. Jailbreak you iPod touch or iPhone again
iPod touch users, see my jailbreak iPod touch 3.1.2 post. iPhone users see my jailbreak iPhone 3.1.2 post.
2. Fix Cydia Crash using Clear Cydia Cache Tool
Download the Clear Cydia Cache tool from here, and then follow the steps below
- Extract or uncompress the files
- Open the ClearCydiaListCache file
- Connect your iPod touch or iPhone to your computer
- Click the “Connect your device and click here” button
Let us know if this works for you.

thanks to everyones replies on the cydia crashing problem i have just sorted mine by useing rock to remove zodtt repositories, then re spring, sorted. thanks again for the ideas
Interesting. I was worried I might have to reset and rejailbreak, but after reading your comment I used Icy to remove Zodtt and all is now well. Looks like zodtt was the problem.
Tried the CCC tool after Cydia started crashing. CCC tool crashed as well as soon as I click the button. I tried to connect first and than run, run and then connect – no combination seemed to work. I’m running on XP – is this tool for XP?
I deleted the Zodtt repository using Rock as well and Cydia now runs. Will update if it starts crashing again.
nothing working this tool crash it self.
It works and no need for restoring again.
Thnx 4evrthg
this thing crushed itself
all you have to do is delete the zztottd reposotory in the rock app which how i got the rock app is to install blackra1n.
i use windows 7

Thanks anyway
To troubleshoot failures, here iH8sn0w took action by releasing an interesting tool that, in virtually automatic, it should solve any problem that caused the crash of Cydia.
with endless complaints, he thought well to create a simple tool for Windows that allows you to solve the problem in very few steps.
Here, then, below, the guide to use this tool.
it didnt work for me
My iphone just crash and doesn’t seem to have the july 18th bug but I dropped and ever since it hasn’t been the same only way it stays on is if i play the ipod or some other application the moment it thinks its in stand by it crashes
Help if I reinstall or rather upgrade to 3.1 will that solve that problem.
