Fix: Jailbreak 5.0.1 Untethered breaks iBooks

When iBooks didn’t open after my Jailbreak, I quickly explored what to do about that. There are two options:

  • The GizmoWebs Guide (I didn’t use it and can’t confirm it works)
  • If you have synced your books, installing iBooksFix2 from Cydia will work too. This is a step by step how to do that:
  1. Go to Cydia
  2. Go to Manage
  3. –> Sources
  4. –> Edit
  5. –> Add
  6. –> type repo.insanelyi.com
  7. –> accept, don’t care about an error, wait till it completes
  8. –> in Cydia, go to Search
  9. –> find “iBooksFix2”
  10. –> install
  11. –> after install restart phone
  12. –> open iBooks
  13. –> in the dialog, tell iBooks to sync
  14. –> it syncs back your books, everything is fine, iBooks works

Thanks to @asadwuddin for pointing this out :-)
