Hi. I can normally figure out my problems based on reading other people's questions but I really cannot find anyone else that has described this problem before.

I recently jailbroke an iPhone 4 on iOS 6 using redsnow. I'm on Straight Talk (if that's relevant), and as recently as yesterday afternoon, I was successfully using TetherMe to give my computer internet via USB. Then something happened and all my apps were closing themselves the moment I opened them. Not a new issue, usually I can turn the thing off then on again, and this issue is gone. So I did that, and then rebooted using redsnow, like I had done several times before.

After rebooting, Cydia and other Cydia apps worked fine, but TetherMe was just gone from the Settings menu where it had been before, even though Cydia showed me it was still installed. I can open the 'Personal Hotspot' menu under Settings, and look, there's the password I created under TetherMe. I can turn the personal hotspot 'on', but nothing happens, no wi-fi, no USB internet, and of course, because my invisible TetherMe is not on. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling TetherMe, and re-jailbreaking. Still not there. This was not the first time I had to reboot (it's a tethered jailbreak) but it was only after this one time yesterday that TetherMe vanished.

What happened? What can I do?
