When I open Cydia it says the regular "Updating Database" and "Downloading Release" but it looks as if it really doesn't since the last update/change I got was from December 14! I read about a new update to Winterboard but cannot update since it is not appearing!:(

Anybody have a clue about fixing this? Please help

Ah ok, at least I'm not alone with this bug. Let me know about any findings/fixes as will I
 
In the same boat until I decided to restore

You know, I was having the exact same problem, until I finally gave up and restored my phone! :( Now it works though! :) LOL

I hope you hang in there and see if there is a "fix" for this. (Mine hadn't updated since the 12th...)

I'll stay posted to see if anyone comes up with a fix... I'd like to note it for future reference in case it happens again.

Dang, I'm hanging in there. I really want these updates and changes that have been made

might be a lot of updates, get on a wifi connection and hit refresh

Thats the thing, I am on wifi network (Yes, the internet is working fine). I've also tried it on Edge and 3G:(
 
Dont restore your iphone. I was having this problem and i decided to restore my phone yesterday.. well it worked for awhile but after i got done added all my sources back the same exact thing happened...

i dont know whats wrong but im going to take a wild guess and say it has to do with certain sources you add.


Oh and another thing i found very intersting ..ok you know when you add new sources you get a source error or error sub procces. but the source works fine.

well when i was adding sources i did not get this message once UNTIL i added the steffwiz source then after that EVERY source i added said source error or sub process error or something like that.. but the sources and packages downloaded fine... just lettin people know.

i tried reading up about how to fix the whole not updating thing and its hard to find any info on it.. people just say hit refresh.. well that does not work no matter how many times you hit refresh or restart your phone
 
Ah, good to know, was wondering why the last update I found was the 15th.
