Root Upgraded to ZV5, but still says ZV4?

So, the other day, I made a backup and then returned to full stock. I did the update to ZV5, wiped and restored my backup. Says I'm still on ZV4 though.
Could it be possible that when I restored the backup, I restored ZV4 and Wiped ZV5?
Any insight would be appreciated, if anyone could tell me that the backup and restore in CWM deletes and restores prior ZV updates.

Thanks in advance!

P.S.
Shout out to Chevanlol, for making ROMs happen on our device, hopefully opening new doors for us!

if you restored to complete stock with the flash tool and updated to ZV5 and it was successful you're fine. While you were restoring your backup with all your data after updating to ZV5, did you do advance restore data? or did you just restore the entire nandroid? if you restored the entire nandroid its still fine you are technically on ZV5, at least your partitions are. You're free to flash my ROM over it since you have sucessfully updated to ZV5 and the only way it would show zv4 is if you restored your entire nandroid instead of doing advance restore data.

okay. what im gonna do, is return to full stock just in case with lg tool, and double check everything. better safe than sorry.

thanks, Chev!


Edit: I just checked my updates, and it says ZV5 verified and ready to install...apparently, it reverted. blah. oh well, better safe than sorry.

Lol it says that because your build.porp is not ZV5 version because when you restored the nandroid it also restored ZV4 system along with it. it would be fine to flash my ROM over it since your partitions are on ZV5 even though you can see it. But yeah better safe than sorry.
