Just to check, you tried to install update_KT2_5.6.0_initial on the PW3. I'm double checkign that that is not a copy/paste error.

The new firmware right out of the box can be jailbroken - if you use the right one.... But you used the one for a different device.

You may have "bricked" it, or maybe not.

The update will take 10-20 minutes even if it works, so put it on the wall charger and be patient for a little while...

But most likely it is bricked, we have similar threads of this, and the only way to repair is very complicated.
