Hi, after a whole night of every possible tactic under the sun i finally have my ipad working again.. heres the story

Ipad 2 Wi-Fi : 6.1(10B141) : MC770B/A

i was trying out some new themes on cydia and installed AceR, which after a respring completely killed my Ipad and left it on the apple logo boot repeatedly. I tried all night to restore, citing problems with my hosts file i changed everything, swapped computers and didnt get anwyhere, i tried removing the buggy theme by SSH and still no joy, i eventually uninstalled cydia in SSH using the get command and still nothing.

As a last resort before i would throw in the towel and go to 6.1.3 i tried running evasi0n which booted the ipad straight away so i unplugged it before it started the process, i am now at my home screen, running perfectly and all my jb apps are running fine, but no cydia..

so my problem is i am obviously jailbroke, but i now do not have Cydia due to the uninstall over SSH, before i go and try and run Evasi0n fully and possibly cause more complications i thought i would ask is there a simple process of reinstalling cydia? over SSH or any other preffered method now i have access to the ipad.


Thanks!
