The USB was fine, surprisingly it worked with USB-3 too.

"You should never flash PW-1 images to a PW-2 ."
"Why in the world are you flashing a **Kindle Touch** kernel to a PW-2?"

It was a mistake while I followed this instructions:
https://gist.github.com/TobiasWooldr...ca75190b9a473f
I forgot that this was an instruction for PW-1 so I flashed it.

Then I found http://ixtab.tk/kindle-touch-images/PW2/ these images.
What's wrong with them? Aren't these for the PW-2?

"What was your point in destroying the formatting of the /var/local storage partition?
Did you have reason to force the re-boot process to re-format it?
And if you where going to do that in the very next command, why did you bother to re-set the re-try counter?"

Because http://ixtab.tk/kindle-touch-images/PW2/README.txt refers to http://ixtab.tk/kindle-touch-images/README.txt and there it says, that I should do it.

"Why do you want to let it install 5.6.1.1 ?"

That's the problem - I don't want it to install 5.6.1.1. It did it automatically. Do I have to turn on airplane-mode to prevent this?

"What is your problem with asking for advice and not following it?"

What exactly didn't I follow?

-------

"Note that the:
./fastboot flash system mmcblk0p1.bin
**Should** have failed because it is too large for fastboot (at least the correct fastboot) to handle."

Even that it flashed without a failure message, it didn't work, so I had to copy it via USB to the root folder of the kindle and from within the kindle's prompt I had to run:
Code:
zcat /mnt/us/kt_5.1.2-mmcblk0p1-main+jb+kjb+ssh.img.gz | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=4096
