Tutorial – How to back up your tweaks.

Hello iPhoneate friends, today I bring you this tutorial on how to back up your tweaks to your computer. This will be very useful if you want to restore your device and want to save all your tweaks so you can simply reinstall them without having to search for them in Cydia. It can also be useful for saving previous versions of a tweak. This will be helpful if an update has a problem and puts you into "Safe Mode," allowing you to revert to the previous version and continue using the tweak while the problem is being resolved.

Required programs:
Win SCP (user: root, password: alpine)
o
iFunBox (Requires AFC2ADD to be installed, available in Cydia.)

Once you have the programs installed, in the case of Win SCP you will only have to enter your Wi-Fi address that appears in Settings (as shown in the video) and enter the following user data:
user: root
Password: alpine

Steps to follow:

1.- Once inside the program, go to the following path: /private/var/cache/apt/archives. The .deb files of all your tweaks will be downloaded to this path when you download them from Cydia.

2. On your iPhone, go to Cydia and search for the tweak you want to save. If you already have it installed, just reinstall it. You can download as many tweaks as you want at once.

3. Once you have downloaded all the tweaks and they are installed, do not move anything on the iPhone. It will ask you to respring it, but don't do it yet. In the program, go to the path if you are not there, and if you are already there, reload and the tweak files will appear. You will then only need to select them and move them to a folder on your PC.

4. You're finished and you can now press respring on your iPhone.
