Hello guys,

one friend of mine accidentally deleted cydia from his iphone 4s (5.1.1). I connected to jailbreakme.com but doesn't support 4s. I do not know what the hell jailbreak method he used because he doesn't have installed openssh and aptitude so I cannot connect remotely to install cydia via apt-get install cydia.

I tried to use absinthe 2.0.4 and the latest redsnow to install cydia but they said that the iphone is already jailbroken and cannot proceed.

Then I tried to restore to 5.1.1 but I cannot because I am getting all sort of errors ; 11, 21, 1600, the selected iphone is not eligible for selected built. I tried to restore via stock firmware, firmware with stiched blobs and also to use the
re-restore feature of redsnow but it fails because he updated to 5.1.1 OTA.

Any ideas guys of how I can to any of the two options;

1) Install cydia via iFile or
2) restore iphone to 5.1.1
