I got the firmware from the same site that you mentioned.
I have never used an SD card in this Kobo Glo, so there is no "original SD"; I can only use any old SD card, unfortunately. This may be why the Kobo does not recognise the firmware.
Is there any way of making a kind of "fake" SD card copy to try to trick the Kobo to recognise it?
Many Kobos (including the Glo) use a microSD card for their onboard storage. It's mounted on the device's mainboard. You'll need to (carefully!) lever the Glo's back off before you can see it.

This YouTube video shows how to do it for a Glo HD; I assume that it'll be the same for the older Glos as well.

No worries - easily done!
(In any case, it just so happens that my surname begins with a "T", anyway.)
