Cydia freezes On 'Loading Data' Screen

Having problems with Cydia saying "Loading Data" or "Reload Data" on screen for a long time?

Method 1.

• Turn SSH and Wi-Fi on in your iPhone/iPod.
• Open the SSH program of your choice on your computer.
• Goto folder /var/lib/apt/lists.
• Delete all of the files except for the partial folder AFTER backing them up.
  
• Disconnect the SSH connection in your program.
• Re-open Cydia.

If that fails then try method 2.

• Shell access (terminal or ssh)
• Type "Su" and your password.
• Navigate to the root directory and type the following.
  
• dpkg -configure -a
• apt-get update
• apt-get install cydia (if it fails add –fix-missing)
• apt-get upgrade (to install mobilesubstrate correctly)
• reboot

DISCLAIMER - Beware when doing anything to your iPhone/iPod, make sure you back it up and it's all at YOUR OWN RISK!!!
