I successfully copied the image you provided onto an 8gb card.
Still had the issue whereby connecting to Kobo desktop gives the false "Internet issue" failure, so I downloaded and unzipped the last known usable firmware and copied to the .Kobo directory.
When I remove the Mini from my pc, nothing noticeable is happening/updating and I still get the same "internet" issue when connected to Kobo desktop.
Do I need to press the reset button on the back of the mini to get the new firmware to load?
Which firmware version did you use? The last official release for the Mini was 3.19.5761, but, later versions will work.

And what files did you copy? It should be the files "KoboRoot.tgz" and "manifest.md5sum" and the directory "upgrade". It should handle this as soon as you eject the device.

The Kobo desktop should be able to do it. Have you updated it? It is at version 4.30.16653. But, any recent version should work. If that isn't connecting, it suggests another issue. It needs to be able to reach https://api.kobobooks.com to get check the firmware version. And then get the actual download from an Akamai cache
