The only thing the same between the PW1 and the PW2 is the name on the case.

Thank you so much for helping me out, just a few seconds before I saw your reply, I was about to throw my PW2 out.

Your way worked just fine, I extracted the kernel from a 5.4.3.2 update bin file (called uImage), and flashed it into my PW2 in fastboot mode, then I was finnally able to reach the recovery menu, and recovery the full system image.

The most amazing thing is that my PW2 was an advertisement version, now all ads are gone, a nice extra suprise
