Great, so at least I was trying to upgrade to the latest valid FW.

Anyway, it never completed the boot up. The PW1 got stucked into a boot loop.

- Is it possible to debrick it using a normal USB connection?
(Take into account that it had the JB done, but that it only shows up in Windows as a USB drive for the fraction of a second before continuing the boot process)
- If the answer is yes: What would be the next steps to debrick it?
- If the answer is no: Would it be possible to recover it with a serial connection?

Thank you very much for your help.
