was finally able to get redsn0w 0.9.15b2 to restore and downgrade it to 5.1.1 but it still says searching and won't activate and also its stock now no jailbreak.
Got a tip for us?

After you use redsnow to downgrade you still have to connect the device to the computer and run the redsnow jailbreak.
Because all restores take the device back to stock firmware,
A restore replaces the firmware currently on the device with a new, fresh, stock OS.
That is the whole purpose of a restore.
Downgrade finish successfully.Remove iTunes error:
Run fix recovery from redsh0w.
custom firmware is not the same as jailbroken.
You can make a custom NO_BB firmware for 6.0 and in DFU restore with that in itunes.

Yes, but the cable unplugged wouldn't give you the -1 error in iTunes.
If you try to do a normal restore in iTunes and you get the -1 error and are unable to activate, this is a baseband hardware problem and there is little you can do about it unless you know a very good repair person that can reflow the baseband chip on the logic board.
Surprised everyone here has no idea what they're talking about. -1 is the error you get when you restore via stitched ipsw with shsh blobs attached. You need to restore, get that error and then you need to click recovery fix and put the device back into dfu mode (it should be in recovery) just hold the home button and power button until it turns off from recovery and release the power button but keep holding the home. Then redsn0w will kick it out of recovery and you should be all set. Good luck.
i did that but still have the same problem no IMEI and Modem Firmware and signal always says searching
