Cydia Not Working After iOS 5.1.1 Untethered Jailbreak? [HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error]

May 25, 2012 by Jaden Easton-Ellett 45 Comments

When any new major Jailbreak is released a lot of people seem to end up having problems with Cydia. When this happens they think something went wrong with their Jailbreak and there is a problem to do with Cydia itself. In reality however, there are so many people trying to access Cydia after Jailbreaking their iOS device that the servers are actually being bogged down to the point where they do not function.

Cydia HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

The most common error that people receive when downloading Cydia packages is “HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error“. If you are experiencing this error or another error completely, chances are it is just because so many people are trying to access Cydia at the same time. Which makes sense considering Absinthe 2.0 was just released to Jailbreak all iOS devices running the iOS 5.1.1 firmware Untethered.

At this time there is no solution to the problem besides waiting till things die down. In the mean time make sure you stay tuned for further updates as things develop. Please leave any questions or further thoughts in the comments.

    i knew this will happen I’m glad i woke up early today. i got the chance to jailbreak my iphone 4s and my ipad 2 in less than 10 min

    Exactly right. I got the same thing when I jail broke my 3rd generation “new iPad” on 5.1.1. I don’t think it has anything to do with the jailbreak tool and even if it does, we’ll see a fix very shortly. No need to worry about anything.

    If you’re getting this error think of it as a busy signal. Just keep retrying and it will work eventually (Though I did it a few hours ago, a lot of people were still asleep..as the day goes on and more people discover the JB it might get worse before it gets better)

    I think it’s just server overloaded.

  6. MoD says

    May 25, 2012 at 3:16 pm

    backup your device then do restore from Itunes, do the jailbreak, restore backup , enjoy!
    that’s worked for me

  7. Tlentati says

    It’s just a server overload, Cydia will probably work again in like 2 or 3 days.

    haha same here.  Last night I went out for my birthday, whenever I drink I know I wake up super early.

    So…  In reality, I was being very responsible :)

    I haven’t updated my iPhone to 5.1.1 yet and I’ve seen similar errors. Keep calm and carry on. :)

    May 25, 2012 at 6:16 pm

    so there is no way to fix it other than wait?

  16. Michael says

    May 25, 2012 at 6:45 pm

    you can upgrade then use absinthe 2.0 to re-jailbreak cydia will still intermittently show the http 500 error as its cydia’s servers that are busy not anything any one can do about that until the traffic to those servers comes down to a normalized level

    May 25, 2012 at 10:43 pm

    My god people are idiots, please reread the article above a couple more times before you post a comment asking how to fix it. Have some patience, its not the end of the world.

    cydia doesnt open at all. closes immediately after opening.
    jailbroke the new ipad  using absinthe 2.0.1 and jailbreak was successful.

    I’m not sure this is directly related, but after jb 4S (cydia seems to be working btw) any customisation tweeks like barrel and springtomize can’t be installed. Anyone else having this problem and does someone know what causes this?

  22. Javiten5 says

    May 26, 2012 at 8:51 pm

    server overload???? does it only happens on JBroken 5.1.1 ??? because i have 4 on 5.0.1 and sbsettings for example is downloading just fine, but on my 4S 5.1.1 jailbroken with absinthe 2.0.1 cannot download ANYTHING, starts downloading and the error shows up. cannot add some repos though.

    don’t think its only overload uhg…

  23. Ashrakay says

    May 26, 2012 at 9:37 pm

    I’m not sure how Cydia expects to be taken seriously as a business if it has these kinds of server issues.

  30. Slimpr86 says

    May 30, 2012 at 11:43 pm

     Im Having the Same Problem It Wont Even Open…

  31. Rob Sepulveda says

    June 6, 2012 at 12:37 pm

     some people aren’t reading it, your right, the server is busy…
    BUT…some people cant open the app whatsoever, it shuts down literally right after  you click the icon.
    therefore, they(we) are not seeing the error code from cydia…its just not opening.
    to add to this problem, my safari is doing same thing, it closes before it has a chance to open a window.
