PW3 on 5.8.9... JB before now problem...

Hi all

First post here, so i am trying to do all correct... But please bear with me

So... I had a Kindle 3 Keyboard which i broke the screen. OK... Lets buy the new one and got a PW3.
Tried to load the collections from my Calibre and... Nada.
Quickly learned, that with PW, it is not so easy to get collections... And almost all methods call for a Jailbreak.
OK. So i downgraded and jailbroke it.
Even installed the hotfix afterwards.
All went smooth and no hickups.

Still had problems with Collections... KUAL and co worked only partially (KUAL started but i wasnt able to do anything with it)
Anyway... I then read that AFTER JB we can update as the JB is viral and carries over to new FW-Versions.
So i did what was maybe my downfall:
I updated to 5.8.9
Because now i have a new, big problem: All the .bin-Files just vanish and therefore a downgrade is no longer possible and also tools like Kindlian which rely on "Update your Kindle" from a bin-file are out the window...

Now the questions:
1.: How can i verify now with 5.8.9 that my PW3 is still Jailbroken?
2.: How to create collections from Calibre (prefered) or other means from my 1500+ epubs i have on my PC?


Thanks for insights and ideas!


Edit: Maybe an important info: I did a Reset after updating to 5.8.9 and no luck with .bin-install
