*important note for using redsnow on 3.0*

hi guys, as you may know, 3.0 jailbreak is available in redsn0w 0.7+. HOWEVER, you cannot have installer, and now, only have the option to have cydia and/or icy*. now, whatever you do, do NOT install icy, as this will muck up cydia and icy. when installing anything from cydia or icy that uses debian packager, grep, or bzip2 - most things! - it will say something about a dependency cycle. this basically means that cydia and icy cannot run alongside each other like this - but you can install icy from cydia seperately - and that seems to work for me! please rep + karma if this post stopped you from doing something stupid! :)







* relatively new app by bigboss that doesn't use apt repos - current version: 1.4

Wow thanks. My Cydia wouldn't update and I couldn't install a lot of packages til I restored and rejailbroke without installing Icy. Would've been lost without your post. Thanks again.

I didn't have any trouble with installing both. I only use Icy .. Cydia is too slow for my liking. I just wish winterboard would work!

Yeah, i had the same problem.

It seems installing Icy when jailbreaking does not work properly. I think i know why:

When jailbroken, you first open Icy and NOT Cydia. Now Icy is going to redo that directory thing.

I think Icy doesn't do that like it should... Maybe because Cydia is on the jailbroken device and hasn't been configured yet.

But anyways, from a new jailbreak, Cydia and Icy do not work together well...

Just install Cydia, and then Icy.
Easy.
