Hi idoit,
First you can upgrade the sd card to bigger size (someone use 32GB in a Mini and it works well).

Maybe by 10-15MB.

Then, I popped the new microSD card in and powered on but it gave me a critical error and asked to do factory reset.
I let it do its things and it successfully booted up, but it was back on v2.* !!!!! It's weird, why is that?! Do Kobo store their firmware somewhere else other than the microSD card?!!!!!!!!
Also, why didn't it just boot up fine? Should I not trust my dd-image and delete it and do imaging again? (dd was done successfully - it reported success)

try to create and write the image again or use the original sd card.
maybe the "new" sd card you use is too slow, use class4 or class10.
You can sideload the firmware see
