1. BACKUP YOUR DEVICE

2. Launch Cydia and install Mobile Terminal and Open SSH

3. Launch Mobile Terminal and type the following followed by a return: su root

4. Now type in the default password, if you haven’t changed it: alpine

5. Copy and paste the following script into Mobile Terminal:

#!/bin/bash

chmod -x /usr/libexec/mobile_installation_proxy

killall -9 mobile_installation_proxy

rm /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.plist /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-045.csstore

launchctl stop com.apple.mobile.installd

launchctl start com.apple.mobile.installd

while [ ! -f /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.plist ];

do

sleep 1

done

while [ ! -f /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-045.csstore ];

do

sleep 1

done

sleep 10

chmod +x /usr/libexec/mobile_installation_proxy


sync


reboot

6. Your device should reboot at this point and all will supposedly be well. [Funky Space Monkey via Cult of Mac]
