In this iPhone step-by-step guide, you will learn how to add source/repo to cydia.

Lets get started.

Step One
Launch Cydia by tapping on Cydia icon from your Springboard.

Step Two

Here’s Welcome screen of Cydia. Tap the Manage tab available at the bottom of the screen.

On the next screen, Tap on Sources section to get the list of Cydia sources.

Step Three

Here you will see the list of Cydia sources “Entered by User” and “Installed by Packages”.

Tap on Edit button on the top right. After that you will see the Add button appears at the top Left of the screen.

Step Four

By Tapping the Add Button as shown above, “Enter Cydia/APT URL” popup will appear. Here you can add your desired Cydia Source/repo.

After entering the Cydia Source press Add Source button. It will start verifying the Source URL.

Step Five

Wait until Cydia download and update the sources list. When done! Press the big Return to Cydia button.

Now you can see, there’s a new Source/Repo added to Cydia Sources.

    Hi,
    Even I have the same problem. I mean I Jailbroke my iphone 3g which is having ios4 with baseband 05.13.04. When i navigate to cydia, the homepage is not being displayed it says “Network Error – Unable to Load (The internet connection appears to be offline) and also if when i tried to add the source repo666.ultrasn0w.com. But it says “Did not find repository”.
    
    I have full internet connection, other applications like gmail and all is working fine.
    
    Does any one else is getting the same issue? If any one has the solution for this issue, please feel free to provide it. As i am eagerly waiting to unlock my iphone 3g.
    
    Many Thanks in Advance

HELP! Whenever I tap add and then type in my URL, it goes onto the “verifying URL” and then after 5 seconds it crashes and I return to the Home Screen. Also, when I search for any packages, all that comes up are system files that are pre-installed! Whenever i try and download something it says “the source for winterboard (example) cannot be found.”
ARGH!
Please help.

    If you disable Wi-Fi in Settings, then try to load cydia, it will not connect(obviously), and then go back into settings and RE-Enable the Wi-Fi. Go back into cydia, and it should load. This has worked for me every time that my cydia has not connected to the internet.

  Ok, I had this error and I spent a long time trying to fix it.
  
  Go to the home screen of your iPod/iPhone and do the following: Settings –> Wi-Fi –> see if “Ask to Join Networks” is turned on. If it is on, switch it off and try to go into cydia. This worked for me, but I don’t know if it will work for you. I have an iPhone 3G.
