There is, but you must pay attention to what the newest one is doing to your device.

Wrong.
The old universal jail break INCLUDES the update bridging code.
That is what makes the jb survive the upgrade to 5.4.5
No need to do anything else.

If by 'generic jailbreak' you mean the most recently posted one -
Read the directions again -
What does step #4 say?
Keyword: downgrade.

After step #4 you are no longer running whatever firmware version you where running, you are now running what you downgraded too.

Which in the case of the PW-2, is version: 5.4.3.2
We hide that information in the file name.

Is version 5.4.3.2 newer or older than 5.4.4.2?
It is (now) older.
So use the older jailbreak.
and then
What part of "skip the next two steps" did I mis-type?

Display the 'Device Info' panel on your device -
Note the current firmware version -
Start over with the appropriate thread.
