Source location on iPhone

Hi all,

Is there a file that contains a list of sources you have added on the iPhone? I made the mistake of adding a source that updated my source list with an extra 94 (!) sources and I really dont want to have to remove them manually on the device.

I'm guessing I can SSH into the device and edit a file locally?

Thanks

Oops, that'd be a slow reload!
You can edit the plist file in:
~/Library/Installer/PackageSources.plist

(replace ~ with /var/root or /var/media depending on firmware version)

Thanks for the kind feedback

Thanks for the info

I tried editing, deleting the plists and rebooting the device but those sources still remained. No worries, I did a restore in the end.
