if you use pwnage tool to create a custom firmware then use that then you can upgrade to 5.0.1 but stay away from stock .ipsw's (ie restoring/upgrading in itunes)

You can download reRABn0w 0.9.10b3 and ios 5.0.1, and create a custom ipsw through reRABnow (extras section).

Then you use reRABn0w-extras- PWNED DFU to set your device to dfu mode

Then open itunes and hold down shift while you click on restore, and choose the custom ipsw you created in the pop up window.

Once your phone is restored, you run reRABn0w-jailbreak and install cydia, and this will jailbreak and hacktivate your phone (activate it without the official carrier's sim card)
When a window pops up, you tick "install cydia" and "install ipad baseband" (because its better to re-flash it). And when the process is done, you go to cydia and install ultrasn0w and should be good to go.

You could read the post above, or download Sn0wbreeze(Pwnage tool if you have a Mac) and create a custom firmware file. Run Sn0wbreeze(Or Pwnage Tool) and select Preserve BaseBand mode. It'll create custom firmware and place it on your desktop. Download iReb and use it to put your iPhone in DFU mode. Then restore your iPhone with the custom firmware on your desktop.

If you don't understand any of the terms used, Google is your friend.
