I bought a second hand crazflie 2.0 and updated the crazflie firmware to cf2-2015.08.1. I don't know what was the original version.
Now in order for everything to work, what else should I update?
I also don't have ps controller or android phone to test flying. any other recommendations? libcflie didn't work with the new fw.
At github repo, I see many firmwares and bootloaders such as;
crazyflie-bootloader
crazyflie2-nrf-bootloader
crazyflie2-nrf-firmware
crazyflie2-nrf-mbs
crazyflie2-stm-bootloader
crazyradio-firmware
lps-node-firmware
I try hard but can't make sense of everything

Hi nurp,
Don't over-complicate your life by looking at everything at once. The Crazyflie "universe" as it were is all open-source so people can read, understand, and modify
virtually everything. Folks who want to simply fly and maybe tinker a little bit only need to deal with essentially two things: crazyflie-firmware and crazyflie-clients-python. You should use the latest "released" versions of those things and not worry about all the repositories until you understand the systems and sub-systems better. So, to answer your question:
1) Update the firmware on the Crazyflie (
crazyflie-firmware) to
the latest firmware release here.
*** You've already done this! 
2) If you're using the Bitcraze 0.6 VM, just double-click the "Update all projects" file on the Desktop. Then run the client.
If you've installed on another OS, update your CFClient (
crazyflie-clients-python) to
the latest here. Make sure you have all the dependencies installed to run that (Look at the README.md file in the section about whatever OS you're running it on - this one requires Python 3).
That's it! Go fly.
