The firmware upgrade guides are available and pretty well written:
https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf/wiki/Updating-Firmware

This goes for everyone, if you are a complete linux noob and
uncomfortable with doing this upgrade, I'll have a new pentoo livedvd
out in a few days that will make following these directions much easier.
 Everything needed to update (and recover if needed) your hackrf will be
in the iso.  Gnuradio is tagging a new release today, I'm testing and
building a new livedvd over the weekend.

Thanks,
