I have a ipod4 ios 6.1.6 with a tethered jailbreak and it was working fine got alot of addons then i tried to get winterboard, it said it was installed and REBOOT IPOD. I did, thinking it wouldnt do anything and i unlocked my phone and everything was like it was before i downloaded addons and changed things and cydia was still there. I though oh just go back on and enable them well nope when i. Cydia Stuck On Downloading Packages Some people waited up to 20 mins until they could proceed to the next step. If your time isn’t anywhere close to that, keep waiting. Closing the software and re-launching, it seems to fix the issue just fine. So my iphone 5S is jailbroken on 7.0.6. I jailbroke it with evasi0n 1.0.6. Everytime I go to cydia, the packages try to load but it gets stuck everytime I go into cydia. The packages tries to load first saying: 'done: packages' (but it sticks there for long time).
The most frustrated thing in life is nothing but Cydia won’t open after you have spent hours to download and install it. You have spent hours to read how to install Cydia to your iDevices; you have followed the steps by steps clearly; you make sure that each detail in the instructions is done but it just does not work on your device. What the hell? What could be wrong and what should you do? Just like anybody else, the first time I try to install Cydia to my iPhone 4S, it was failed due to several reasons. I have also followed exactly the steps shared in some websites but my Cydia just won’t open after I tap on the brown icon. Here I am going to share you several experiences why Cydia won’t open although the installation process seems to be perfect.
A very common problem that anyone may experience is when you tap on the Cydia icon after you have jailbreak your iDevice, the screen flashes a few times but Cydia doesn’t open. Frustrated huh? If you experience this, your Cydia won’t work no matter how many times you tap on it. First of all, check if there is something went wrong during the jailbreaking process. Everything may look perfect during the installation but sometimes Cydia server could be down when there are too many connections to it. If you make sure there is no problem with the jailbreak, it could be Cydia is not properly installed or it is not completely installed to your iDevice. Check on Cydia not working for more error details during the installation.
Incomplete installation is a common issue. However, if you have tried to rejailbreak or reinstall Cydia several times, it is something else. I used to tethered jailbreak (jailbreak your iDevices using a computer connection with jailbreak application such as sn0wbreeze or redsn0w) my iPhone and the same thing always happen to me – when I click on the Cydia logo it just don’t open but flashes a few times. This is because I did not boot tethered my iPhone and cause the device living in “unjailbreak” or semi-tethered status. The symptom of semi-tethered is when you tap on the Cydia icon, it flashes few times and closes back up or the screen goes black or white and then jump back to homescreen or it just won’t open and crash. If you come across these symptoms, your Cydia won’t open no matter how many times you restart or reboot your iDevices. To solve this, simply connect or tether your iDevice back to your computer and boot it with the aid of the jailbreak application you use. If you are using redsn0w, try to run it again and check on the “just boot tethered” box. This method works perfectly for me every time my Cydia is not able to open after jailbreaking process.
Cydia.app includes many error messages that might not be easy to understand at first, including error messages that come directly from Debian APT.
Here are explanations for them and how to fix the problems!

Cydia temporarily can't refresh data because another program is already using a system component that Cydia needs. This error commonly happens if you're also using another program that refreshes package data, such as Curiosa. To fix it, try rebooting. If that doesn't help, you may need to uninstall Curiosa (and any other packages that do this).

Cydia ran into some kind of network problem. The usual cause of this error message is using packages that add tons of ad-blocking lines to your hosts file; uninstalling those packages should fix this error.

One or more of your installed sources is set up incorrectly. You should be able to remove the problematic source by going to Sources and tapping 'Edit' at top right. If you are not sure which one to remove, try removing all of them except the defaults (BigBoss, Cydia/Telesphoreo, Dev Team, ModMyi, and ZodTTD/MacCiti).

There is not enough disk space (on the system or user partitions or both) for Cydia to install this package. Try removing some files first, such as large bootlogo or theme files; you may need to use iFile, OpenSSH, or some other way to access the filesystem. You can also check iFile's trash folder (/var/mobile/Library/iFile/Trash). You can go to the Cydia homepage and tap 'Storage Information' to check available space on both the system and user partitions.

One or more of your installed sources is temporarily or permanently unavailable. You may have typed in the wrong URL, the source may have shut down, the source may be broken, or the source may be denying your connection for some other reason. Try again later. If this problem keeps happening over many days, you can remove the problematic source by going to Sources and tapping 'Edit' at top right.

The downloaded file does not match the file on the source's server. This is often caused by a download getting interrupted before it finished, sometimes due to network problems and sometimes due to server problems.
If you get this for many packages, try a more reliable internet connection or try again later. If your internet connection is fine for downloading other packages, including from other repositories, there may be a problem with the package or the repository. It may be helpful to report this to the repository manager.

This may mean that your internet connection is not working, a source is not working, or something else is not working (such as the Cydia Store system). This is probably a temporary problem, so try again later.

If you are trying to download a paid package you have not purchased, buy it and then try downloading it again.

This is a generic error that means something went wrong. This may happen if you try to install a package while fresh data is downloading from your repositories (the stage right before 'Reloading Data'). Try going to the Changes tab, tapping 'Refresh' at top left, waiting for data to finish downloading, waiting for Reloading Data to complete, and then installing this package again.

Problem with MergeList [file]
The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
This happens if you are using an old Cydia version (before 1.1.10) and have too many packages available from your installed sources. You will need to refresh your sources and update all relevant packages, so that you get the latest versions of Cydia and associated packages - but in order to do that, you'll first need to fix this error. The error means that you have more than 65,535 packages available from your installed sources, and your old version of Cydia cannot handle that many. Go to Manage, tap Sources, tap 'Edit' at top right, and remove some sources. Make sure to keep the default repositories (BigBoss, Cydia/Telesphoreo, ModMyi, and ZodTTD/MacCiti). If some sources don't have a 'remove' button when you try to remove them, that usually means they were installed as packages. Go to Manage, tap Packages, find the package with the source's name, and uninstall that package. After removing a few extra sources, you should be able to refresh data without this error.
