So I always wondered what the update.zip file actually does that you apply to the root of your SC card and that you generally find as a "codownload" with the CWRecovery.zip file?  Can you brick your phone if you download and apply the wrong one in recovery mode?  Just wondering...

It was necessary a while ago because developers couldn't roll update zip as a package....in other words, you had to flash it separately in CWM Recovery to get your custom recovery to work.  For the new rooting and flashing CWM Recovery methods, you won't see this in your SD Card.
