LG GSM firmware naming

This page intends to break down the version naming scheme of LG GSM firmwares.

Finding the firmware version
The firmware version can be accessed from the phone's service menu.

For earlier LG phones (up to 2008?) this menu can be accessed using the code 2945#*#.

For later LG phones where this code doesn't work, the menu can be accessed with the code 1809#*{model}#, where the number in the phone's model is substituted for {model}. For an LG A340, for example, the code would be 1809#*340#.

Where the firmware version is located is slightly different depending on what type of baseband the phone is using.

On phones with a Texas Instruments baseband, the menu item is {model} Vers.

On phones with an Analog Devices baseband, the menu item is S/W Version.

On phones with a Qualcomm baseband, the version is located at Version Info -> Factory Version.

More to be added I can't write any more right now
