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.

iPhoneHeat March 23, 2010, 1:24 am

iPodGuy March 23, 2010, 1:44 am

disable 3g
turn off the wifi
chk in safari browser if wifi is working fine
otherwise reset network settings
jst make sure internet in working fine before opening the cydia

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.

cydia says did not find respository help mi

itzPartyDude November 9, 2010, 4:14 am

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.
