You don't need to be harsh.
I didnt tried myself because if it bricks my pw, I wouldnt know what to do.
Thanks, NiLuje, Knc1.

OK, I will expand on those "it isn't going to happen" responses a bit.
The K5 models prior to the PW2 use a SoC from the Freescale i.MX50 series ;
The PW2 uses a SoC from the Freescale i.MX6 series.
One obvious "show stopper" is that the two SoC series use different GPUs - with a different instruction set.
Also, the SoC device (and its pin/signal relationships) are programmable.
That programing is not the same for an i.MX50 and an I.MX6 .
So a "brute force" - "just load a PW2 image file on a PW1" is **NOT** going to work.
Now back-porting a specific application feature (such as the dictionary service) **MIGHT** be possible, **IF** the system was openly documented.
But it is not.
My best advice - give up on this idea.

some of the "hobbyists" here also do this sort of work as their "day job".
We are also human, we (including myself, often) do make mistakes but this site is a reliable source of technical information.
We all work hard to keep it a reliable resource.
