Help bootloader

I don't remember seeing a version string when in download mode, which is where I'd expect to see it. A 2.3.4 firmware is likely to have the old bootloader with the USB jig vuln still active, if that helps?
Thanks for your answer. In my case, I flashed an old bootloader in order to be able to use Jig and set counter to 0 and getting rid of the yellow triangle.
But now if I would like to check the bootloader version of my phone or any other I don't know how to do it.

As far as I know, 2.3.4 has the "new" Bootloader as to reset the binary counter after rooting and to rid oneself of the yellow triangle, necessitates the flashing of the old bootloader and the counter patch so as to utilise the benefits of the USB Jig.
Just exactly how to check whether you have the old or new Bootloader installed, I do not know.

Thanks rozel, you are of course correct. Checking Intratech's official firmware thread, it does indeed appear that 2.3.4 onwards comes with the "new improved" bootloader.
I'm also no closer to finding out how to tell without using a jig and seeing if it works or not.

Thanks for your help. Yes, I have bootloader 2.3.4. I know that because I've installed it to use Jig.
If someone gives me his phone and asks me to check the bootloader he has, I don't know how to see that through any option, menu or application.
