How to add Sources in Cydia

For those who are still at the beginning, there are many unknowns, especially regarding cracked applications, unlocking, etc. In the following tutorial I will teach you how to add sources in Cydia, without which you cannot unlock the phone.

Step 1

Connect to a Wireless or make sure that the Internet will work on the phone. If you don't have a wireless nearby and you need unlock, use this tutorial that will show you how to install ultrasn0w without internet.

Open the application and let it connect, then the application will close and have to be opened again.

Here you will be asked to enter the url to the server from which you want to download the applications. Enter the url in the box, then press Add Source. Careful! For some sources, such as that of the guys from appulous, a warning message will appear telling you that that source is illegal. If you still want to add it, press the Add anyway button.
