Does this mean it can not work on PW1? I will try it anyway.
A PW1 does not have a "magic key" (The HOME key on a K5/Touch). I never opened my PW1 and prodded around looking for a magic key -- the existing K5 jailbreak just worked on it out of the box:

And my PW1 grew legs and went walkabout during a trip to California, so I no longer HAVE a PW1. I left it registered to my amazon account, but I changed its name to "Reward if returned: xxx-xxx-xxxx" (my phone number). It seems to have had no activity though, so perhaps it was just factory reset and never registered to another amazon account.

So who knows? Perhaps there is a "magic key" testpoint inside the PW1 somewhere, but no buttons on the outside...
