*) Why in the world did you try to install a firmware for the KT2 onto a PW3?

Note:
5.6.0 is a firmware older than the version the PW3 was released with, which was 5.6.1.1.
If it was intended to work on a PW3, the PW3 would have shipped with it.

*) Back up to Step #1 and tell us what the first six characters of your device's serial number is.

*) Also post the link to the firmware package you tried to install please.

*) Is there any time, even very briefly, when your PC can recognize USB storage?
It might be for only 5 to 10 seconds, you have to watch closely.

This may require either returning the device to the seller for exchange or using the serial port to debrick it.
It might also be possible to de-brick it using fastboot and some special commands.
But before making a decision on what to do next, please provide the information requested (*) above.
