Custom ROM for XT902?

I have a RAZR M 201M XT902
I'm having a problem with the language in receiving SMS so I want to use a custom ROM to fix it.
Can mod (or anyone) show me a suitable custom ROM for my XT902? CM or PAC?
Thanks very much

There is no root method found yet for the 902.
And if you try 907/905 methods be prepared to rsd one of the xml here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/scorpion_mini_xt902/list.php
More here but he has a unlocked bootloader I assume you do not.

Your sys ver is older than anything around to save you. I cannot advise you to attempt rsd the newer smj- versions, they may break the needs of your carrier. So you have no recourse if you bork your phone while trying to root.
I do not think you can root & that is why we do not get many 902s here.
If you ever root you can unlock with sloosecannon's help on his thread, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226729&highlight=bootloader
or
The unlock apk is in my goodies. It voids you warranty.

Not sure what did not work for you and what error you got.
This is one of the easiest root method. It appears you might have done something wrong.
Do you have custom recovery installed on your phone?
Can you post you Settings > About screen here.

The link doesn't work
The only link I could find is this: https://www.codeaurora.org/projects...arsing-during-boot-image-authentication-leads
But it doesn't state that it's ready for the Note Pro 12.2 Verizon variant yet....

YOu have to be on 4.4.2... or you might be pissed....
Ge the root files from the CF-Autoroot and follow directions. then go to the Original Android forum and grab your recovery, they just completed the P905,...
Do that and your race ready...
If you are on the newest version of the ROM, please do you research before you flash to make sure that you have everything needed.
I only have file for the wifi P900...
Good Luck!

The question is....have they achieved it with the Verizon Variant? The Verizon Note 12.2 seems to be the hardest and I've not yet read confirmation that ANYONE has rooted theirs. The other versions have been rooted.....except the 905V.

Did you read the CF-AutoRoot thread?
They have it rooted...
I searched that thread for P905V and had no search results.

Help downgrading 4.4.4 to a rootable version?

Model number: SM-G900V
Android version: 4.4.4
Baseband version: G900VVRU1ANI2
Build number: KTU84P.G900VVRU1ANI2
If anyone could just link me to a guide, I'd be appreciative. Once I downgrade the android version, I'm assuming that Towelroot is my best option?
Just look in the general forum all the info you need is there. Do a little leg work on your own instead of having someone else point out what is so obviously available.
