Not able to update to 5.1.1 using Redsn0w. [Need to save BB]

Well long story short i was following the steps in order to create a custom firmware in order to set my self up to restore via itunes while preserving my baseband (1.59.00). I rely on the ultrasn0w unlock so it's very important for me to keep the phone on this baseband. At first i tried and got an iTunes error 14?
What i want to do at this point is just leave my iPhone on 5.0.1 (gsm) and go on with my life. Ive tried to kick out of recovery/DFU mode using TinyUmbrella (for which i don't have any of the blobs on this current computer). I tried irecboot and ireb but nothing seems to be working. I am trying to update via iTunes but i keep getting an error right as the status bar is at about 10 percent on my phone.

Is there anyway i can preserve the baseband and updating or leaving my phone at this point?
What if i find the shsh blobs in one of my backups? And according to cydia i have had my blobs backed up since 4.0.1.

Any suggestions?

 

sadly yes. I have done all those steps but i keep on getting an error when trying to update. Ill let you know in a sec which error it is as i try it once more.


Error 3194 when trying to restore using 5.0.1

I'll try once more with 5.1.1

 

is there a difference between 9B206 and 208? Are both of them being signed by apple? I've gotten an error trying to restore a custom firmware (208) but i did not have tiny umbrella running. I just turned on tinyumbrella and the box was already unchecked. Shall i start the tss server and try again? I know that usually we use the tss server to restore/update using a blob we have but i do not have any blobs on tiny umbrella. Basically just looking to update to the most current version of iOS using a custom firmware to preserve baseband. Kicking out of recovery doesn't seem to be doing anything.
Thanks

 

Ah, Well i dont know exactly how i fixed it but luckily i have many computers. I tried using a windows computer and it did not work. Then i tried using a macbook and it still did not work. i tried using another mac book and for some reason it worked. Both of them are macbook pros on the same iOs and i used the same tools.

Weird.

Thanks for all the help
