iOS 4.3.5 Jailbroken on iPhone 4 with Redsn0w 0.9.9b1 But No Cydia

Hello Jose. Nopes! This is not normal. You should have Cydia icon on the SpringBoard of your device after jailbreaking due to the fact that Cydia app is bundled with most iPhone jailbreak tools (i.e. PwnageTool, JailbreakMe, Redsn0w, Sn0wbreeze, etc). Anyway, you can easily fix this error by restoring your iPhone to stock iOS 4.3.5 and then rejailbreak it (Make sure you backup your iPhone first before restoring or you will lose all your data). However, this time, I would recommend you to use Redsn0w 0.9.8b7 to jailbreak your iPhone 4 tethered. This is primarily because the Redsn0w 0.9.9b1 is at the early stage of beta testing and it is quite buggy. You can follow this guide on how to use Redsn0w 0.9.8b7 to jailbreak iPhone 4 on iOS 4.3.5.

Alternatively, you can also install Cydia on your iPhone without restoring and rejailbreaking your iPhone. You can check out this tutorial posted below to manually reinstall Cydia.

First Method:

Step 1: Ensure that your iPhone is connected into high-speed Internet and check if you have a valid IP address.

Step 3:Now use the following command to first remove the current installation of Cydia.

Second Method:
