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.

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.

I am trying to find a way to root a Samsung Galaxy S4 I-337 (AT&T). Been searching and found towel root, but it did not work with my S4. Did not find any other ways to root or if I did it was for the I-9500.
Andorid Version: 5.0.1
Baseband Version: I337UCUGOK2
Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

According to the instructions in that link, the phone already has to be rooted or am I missing the point?

4. If you are not already rooted (or to unbrick) you must first flash the I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.tar (use Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+), root with Towelroot, then proceed with the above process.
