Cydia’s latest update explained
Electra developer Coolstar recently released two system updates, namely, Cydia (GUI Only) and Cydia Compatibility Package.
These packages split the jailbreak package manager into two components – user interface and compatibility.
According to Coolstar, this update prepares your device for the Sileo. For those who don’t know, Sileo is an upcoming package manager by Electra Team that aims to replace Cydia.
If you don’t intend to use Sileo in the future, you can safely ignore these updates. However, Cydia will constantly display the annoying “Upgrade Essential” message when you open launch it.
Download Cydia On My Computer
To disable updates, simply add Electra’s iOS Utilities source (electrarepo64.coolstar.org) to your hosts file. With that being said, you can always go back and remove this line from the hosts file to re-enable updates.

Cydia Installer Ios 12
Posted byI have commented on a bunch of posts like cydia installer + pangu untether sent me into a BLoD screw this jailbreak! This jailbreak is actually very innovative ( yet sometimes hated ) but it is like all other jailbreaks. Cydia substrate is a platform made by saurik ( as you all know) that allows code to be injected into processes. Cydia installer is just a GUI for the actual debian installer running in the background. This is what you see before you hit restart springboard in Cydia. Cydia installer like I said is a packager which allows for the installation of .deb files. The Pangu untether is a package installed via cydia ( which you see as the available upgrade) and gets installed. If Cydia installer is upgraded at the same time as pangu's untether the packager itself is being upgraded and in the process will not allow for the proper installation of the untether. This is why the boot loop happens because the phone tries to reboot the bootloader runs and when since iOS 9 has a userland jailbreak it looks for the untether code. If it didn't install correctly your phone wont boot. So there you go the explanation why and the advice to pay attention to in the future. Always do them seperately, not just for Pangu
EDIT: Can we maybe get this stickied to maybe reduce the number of boot loop posts
