same problem with me
cydia icon missing it come when i tried remove ifile from my 4s

no..no REACTION..notihng..i reboot iphone and teh same..nothing...

i put cydia_1.1.4_iphoneos-arm.deb i autoinstall dir and nothing...:(

u need orignal sim to active by itunes also you will see CYDIA

Already activated with original sim
Still NO cydia

what happens when u try rejailbreak with absinthe?

absinthe with no problem recognizes my iphone 4s (5.0.1) but when i press JAILBREAK
i got msg ERROR: Device already jailboroken. Detected Stash.

I got a few problems with many 4s's regarding jailbreak. The real working solution on most of them was doing a full reset and jailbreak again.

I know it..but full reset works only if u dont have Jailbreak on Your iOS but mu iphone 4s is already jailbroken so...All Reset dont work :(
And I cannot restore to 5.0.1..:( only to 5.1 but there is no Jailbreak yet...
so..no

if you can risk unlock then use redsn0w to rejailbreak. I haven't tried as I told u for me the replacing deb file worked but you can give it a try and rejailbreak. search for latest version and then report back

I will try if I get hands on a 4s with malfunction cydia

use the newest version of redsn0w to jailbreak again

it will give you afc2Add so you can use iphone broswer to create the folders. don't use absinthe. redsn0w will let you rejailbreak it. it will ask you if you know what you are doing just say yes and follow the direction. btw connect the phone while it is on just like absinthe. then click jailbreak it will give you the jailbreak for 4s.
make sure the folders are spelled exactly as it is with the caps
/var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall
also try put one more copy of the cydia deb in
/var/root/Media/
too
