Kindle PaperWhite 3 (2015) - Wifi, G090G1
My Kindle is in 5.8.9.2, it was jailbroken quite a while back i believe in version 5.6.5, the first of jb.html hack. after that i had it in regular use for quite some time, and then after long break i used it and it upgraded to 5.8.9.2 it was fine around that time, only the special offers which was removed earlier before jailbreak had come back partially. no new special offers would be downloaded, but it said it had special offers.
anyway fast forward i think 6-7 months, last week i turned on my kindle again, and the normal books were working fine, but KoReader would not work properly. I tried reinstalling it but it was not working properly again.
I thought this was maybe a jailbreak problem, because special offer was also back, and koreader was not working properly(i hadn't tested it the first time 5.8.9.2 got installed) so i tried to get back the jailbreak. using the hotfix, and several other files. the MRI package would install but there was still problems with KoReader and LinkSS. Koreader would try to open file manager, and then turn off. it could open the last document though. LinkSS would just say something along lines of couldn't load Screensaver after Restart.
So, I tried jailbreaking hotfix, used MRIP to install latest version of Kual, python, linkSS, Jailbreak. Now I did all this after 4-5 hours of research in order to not mess up, but i was so tired, i misread the instruction of Not to Reset as Reset in one of the jailbreak. I had fortunately backed up everything in kindle root directory (/us? the one with documents and mripackages folder). so thats all i have now left of the old Jailbroken kindle.
there was one post of some key.

Only if you had the keys (jailbreak installed) before it updated can you downgrade.

Where are these keys if they are in root directory, though i doubt it? So is there any way other than serial that I could jailbreak this kindle?
here is the print of dir of my backup:
