Bumping this guy as I am in an almost identical situation. I have messed with the system apps as well and so as far as I can tell I also need to unroot/return to stock 98.18.94 somehow, I couldnt find the right file either. I have a LOCKED bootloader and I would prefer not to bother with unlocking if possible, but its starting to look like I might have to unlock on these later android versions just to return to stock?
I had my phone download this and then just copied it off. My phones build was 98.18.94. Not sure what the difference between this and 98.30 is. I'm rooted so I haven't installed it but it's here for anyone that wants it. My phone downloaded a different version than I found online. It was version 182.46.10XT907.Verizon.en.US. I don't know what other phone builds it will work with. Either way use at your own discretion.

I RSD to .30 (you have a choice of .30 or .18 when you download the xml file. I was on .18 before but RSD to .30)
RSD did get rid of root
I will be try to re-root some time today (found a process and I'll see if it works)
hello, i wanna ask some question..
my xt907 is:
- Rooted
- Unlocked bootloader
- Using CWM Recovery
- Removed some bloatware (such as verizon apps) using titanium backup
- my current version is 98.16.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US
- and im living in Jakarta, Indonesia
i bought this phone from online shop and it always has popups telling about Install Update -> "Update (98.16.3.en.US) has been downloaded and is ready to install." and has two option either to install later or install now.
until now i always to ignore the updates by clicking "install later". But since the official kitkat released i feel like i want to try to update to that official kitkat stock rom.
i have some question because i feel confuse how is the right way to update to the official kitkat:
1. How can i update to the official kitkat? should i install the update "Update (98.16.3.en.US)" first? and then after that checking the system updates again and found new kitkat update?
2. Is it true that xt907 phone with removed bloatware always failed on updating the update?
3. Can someone help me give the full elaborated tutorial how am i supposed to do with my phone if i want to install the official kitkat?
4. And the last, if someone here already update to kitkat and backup the rom with recovery. and share the backup here. Can i use the backup and restore it with CWM Recovery?
sorry for too much asking, and thanks in advance to everybody for helping me here
