I don't know exactly why the exploit does what it does, could it be that it makes the system think it's a 1.0, like the wab version changer, and that's how it allows you to run the update? If I remember correctly, after the version changer came out, someone attepted to re-upgrade their psp to 1.5 , and it got to 99% and then 'almost bricked' the PSP. Perhaps he actually did sucessfully reflash it with 1.5 and didn't know it, since there was no change, and that's also what we see with the downgrade, failure at 99%. Anyways, That could be the reason it would say you have a 1.0 firmware.
