The Popcorn Jailbreak worked for my Kindle PW2 on 5.12.2.2 in the end:
1.

2. exchanged the kernel.bin in wario\Profiles\Linux\OS Firmware with the updated payload from beyonik

3. basically followed the tutorial by Vlash

additionally my process:
-I jammed the opened up kindle between something to keep it standing on it's side, kept the usb connected with pc, just ejected it via the option from the taskbar
- then opened the prepared mfgtool (see 1 and 2) and clicked start, so that it was waiting for a device
- then bridged the contacts and held them while confirming the restart in kindle device options.
-I only stopped bridging the contacts when mfgtool loaded the payload.
4. after the successful jailbreak and boot I copied the hotfixes by beyonik
