Below is another way one of my friend sent to me for resolving lockdown error-5:

• Back up your  iPhone

• Run the Absinthe jailbreak following the instructions.
• Restore from backup using iTunes.
• So far I had to do that with mine along with two friends and it worked flawlessly.
• The error appeared on all three iPhones. So I am under the assumption that the jailbreak works best when the iPhone is at “factory” state.
