i am a bit confused. i used redsnow to jailbreak my iPhone 4. i now have a white cydia icon on the springboard, but cydia crashes instantly on the startup.
on top of that i can reboot my phone without problems. i think its because i wasnt able to install any programs from cydia, right?
anyway, why doesnt cydia work?
This is normal - did you read the release information on the iPhone dev team's blog? To get working Cydia (and Safari) you need to boot using the "just boot tethered right now" option.Quote:

If you have not installed any tweaks that hook into important programs like SpringBoard or CommCenter, your device will actually boot. However, jailbreak programs like Cydia won’t work (and Cydia may still have a white icon). Also, certain built-in apps that had to be moved by Cydia will fail (Safari being the most noticeable example).
# If you’ve installed MobileSubstrate tweaks that hook into SpringBoard or other important programs, your boot will actually fail (you’ll get stuck at the Apple logo). You need to use redsn0w to “Just boot tethered right now”.
that wasnt at the blog the time i tried it first time. now it works, thanks!
