Default How to get firmware version?
This is probably a noob question but search didn't come up with anything. How can I find out the firmware version I am running on?

Using OpenSensation fwiw.

If you do not have the Android SDK installed on your computer you need to install it. Then go to the Windows Start menu and select computer. Then open the Android SDK folder then open the tools folder. When in the tools folder hold shift and right click anywhere it is open space in the window. Select open command window here. When the window opens up connect your device via USB cable(make sure you have USB debugging checked in development in Settings) and then type the following into the command window.

Code:
fastboot getvar all
You will be looking for version-main the number beside it is your firmware version

If your talking about the firmware you need for ICS, if you are not on ICS currently (AKA Gingerbread), you're not on the right firmware and it will have to be updated if you want to install ICS.

If you are talking about radio or h-boot, etc.. version, there are different ways to get that info
