For some people the act of jailbreaking is a simple one. Cydia is installed with all its default repos and it works perfectly. For others though, the story is a different one. There have been a number of people who jailbreak who have found that one of the main default repositories is not there and it’s the one they really want.

The BigBoss repository is the biggest source of apps and tweaks in Cydia. It contains just about everything you need to get going and modify your iPhone to work how you want it to. If it isn’t there, it can cause no end of problems for you. It is rare that the BigBoss repository is missed out when Cydia is installed but it does happen. What is more common though is people deleting it by accident. Luckily, there is a way to get it back without too much trouble .

Steps to Add BigBoss Repo on Cydia :

  1. Open Cydia to the main screen
  2. At the bottom there are a few options – tap on More Package Sourcesbigboss repo source
  3. Another screen will appear, listing the sources that can be added. At the bottom of the screen you will see a Disclaimer, advising that you add extra sources completely at your own risk.

Option 2 – Restore and Jailbreak Again

If you still can’t get the BigBoss repository back you may have to restore your device through iTunes and reinstall the jailbreak. Bear in mind that iTunes will restore your device to the latest iOS version, currently iOS 7.1.2.

Fortunately, there is a jailbreak called Pangu that can be used for this and a full guide on how to download and install it can be found here.
