iPhone 4, 5.1.1: Camera Not Working After Jailbreak

Okay so my dilemma is that my camera never works after I jailbreak my phone using any method (Absinthe or redsn0w). I have an iPhone 4 GSM running 5.1.1 9B208. I've never had this problem until lately and its not any of my backups or the camera itself because prior to jailbreaking it works just fine. I think it may be a software issue, but I'm not sure where the error is, so if any one can tell me how I can fix it or give me a solution to find backup camera files, it would be much appreciated. Also it is not because of any tweaks, because it doesn't work right after I jailbreak the phone. I go straight to the camera and the shutter stays shut and the toggle for camera & video flickers.

EDIT:

I've also already tried a new computer and pointing redsn0w at a downloaded copy of 9B208 and that didnt work either.

Try a fresh restore without using a back up.
If it works it is infact due to your backup.
If I have helped please press the little thanks button in the right hand corner

Try creating a signed Custom Firmware using sn0wbreeze v2.9.6 and restore your iPhone using it.
