Welcome to the forum !

Your real firmware version is not 1000 - check here how to get real version:

HI whim,
I do the following:
#  create a file called ver.req in the root directory of your SD card. If you're using Notepad on Windows, be sure you don't name it "ver.req.txt" by changing "Save as type" to display "all files".
# IMPORTANT: Note that it is spelled ver.req, as in VERsion REQuest, that Q is NOT a G, Type it correctly!!!
# switch on the camera in playback mode and wait for the main screen (don't switch on in rec mode and change to playback later)
# press the func set+disp. buttons together (press set first, hold it down, then press disp.).
and I saw " Firmware Ver. 1.0.0.0" only...is it something wrong???
Thanks

@mug

Glad you figured it out - note that you can also use CardTricks to download or, if you already did that, 
unpack a downloaded archive to your Card ("CHDK->Card")
Once you got it on your card, just lock, put it in your cam and have fun with CHDK.
