Catergories Help - Cydia/Installer lost after restore!

[thetaxigalt]

being an idiot, I put boss prefs, cydia, installer, etc, all into one category named 'jailbreak' even after hearing the horror stories about lost applications after a restore. After messing up an SSH attempt, the phone was bricked and I had to restore. Well now I've jailbroken it again, and there are no cydia or installer icons.
How do I fix this? Your help is greatly appreciated!!

You need to restore it and set it up as a new phone. Because with all of your other backups the icon locations are in the categories folder that doesn't exist anymore. So if you set it up as a new phone then the icons will be in a default position and you should be able to see them again.

First, you didn't brick it as it seems you were able to load firmware on it again. Secondly, are you sure you used a custom firmware and didn't restore to a stock one? Since you did have these apps previously in a folder however, this may be why you can't see them as jmann suggested.
