When we updated her Mini, we did it in two steps. First we downloaded the Mark4 4.9.11311 firmware update and applied it to her Mini (unpack the .zip file on my computer and copy both files and the directory into the .kobo directory on her Mini, safely eject it and let the firmware update happen). We then downloaded the Mark6 4.10.11655 firmware, unpacked the .zip file and copied only the KoboRoot.tgz file to the .kobo directory on her Mini. After safely ejecting, it updated and all seemed to be happy. The intermediate step to the 4.9 release was likely not necessary but that was the latest version with Mark4 support.

Thinking about it, it might be more correct to say that she hasn't contacted me to say she's having any issues.

See the Kobo Firmware Releases entry in the MobileRead wiki for the download links.
