The PW1 is indeed in a bit of a weird spot, but it *is* doable, it's just mildly annoying.

You basically have to *force* a downgrade it to a version vulnerable to the *legacy* 5.4 JB (still listed in the Snapshots thread) via the "dirty unplug" method.

I *think* someone actually wrote it all down somewhat recently, but I may be misremembering that :s.
