Hey guys 😉

Ok i have a iphone 5s (6,2) -IOS - 8.4.1
Build- 12H321
ICLOUD LOCKED *

Then theres a custom ipsw recovery i have that has no ICLOUD activation on it because i removed it by decrypting the mac Disk image then altering the files.
IPSW details - IOS - 8.4.1
Build -12H321
but its for iPhone 5 (iPhone5,2)

Question
Can i restore the IPSW firmware with this custom firmware stated above?

Nope,
it's not even for the same version,
and when you alter an IPSW, iTunes won't restore it.

Way more complex than that. It's server sided and you're pretty much fucked.
Give back the phone to the owner.

If we think about it, it is possible to create a custom IPSW and restore it, but then again, you'll have to do it on a Mac and you'll have to find a way to bypass the iTunes server that checks it whetehr it's being signed or not. I am not saying it's impossible, but it's way too hard.
