First post here so be gentle, if my details are incorrect, I'll try and get as much in here as I can and add more info as requested.
Backround info: Phone was only originally used on the Verizon network in the US but now I am based in Ireland. I have a working 4.1.2 ROM which allows the phone to function as normal
I have a Motorola Razr XT912 and I have been trying out numerous ROMs to try and get my phone up and running with Lollipop.
I keep hitting the same issue with being unable to send SMS messages with all the CM 12 (and as of last night I tried the nightly 12.1 ROM) ROMs I am trying to use. I usually go with the spyder ROMs but I am not sure if I using the correct ones (GSM or CDMA?) from the Cyanogenmod site and choosing the Sypder option for Motorola Razr
I have looked around other forums and they all say something about Voice+ and deleting it, which I cannot find.
Basically I guess I am asking if the XT912 has a working Lollipop ROM (I like the CM ones) or am I going down the wrong track completely, is this even possible?
I am on the 3 network here in Ireland if that makes any difference?
Any help appreciated, and great site

I've been searching but haven't found an answer in any of the threads on ROM's. Either I suck at searching or the question just isn't there / answered.
Is there any ROM for the Verizon edition of the Razr (Maxx in my case, but eh) that will still easily allow me to globetrot as I do?
Or is dual booting my best option in such a situation? I've been away from phone hacking for some time, wasn't even aware dual booting was a possibility. I'd certainly flip flop between stock ICS and a custom ROM if that's the case. Is that feasible if the answer to my original question is no?

I have some contradictory view on this :
View point 1 :
The XT910 GSM Razr and the XT912 CDMA Droid Razr are not the same hardware and the radio from one cannot be run on the other. The signatures will not match and allow it to flash.
The XT912 has an additional Motorola LTE radio chip that is running a TI Wrigley embedded linux with its own CPU and RAM. In addition, the OMAP AP flash is partitioned differently with a much smaller preinstall partition.
Viewpoint 2 :
But There was a article released that said Verizon might push a software patch to make your CDMA phone a Global phone:
check this http://www.pcworld.com/article/258233/verizon_gives_motorola_lte_razrs_their_gsm_wings.html
The logic is simple , if your phone has a GSM radio on it , you just need to activate it , it can be dome by flashing a ROM with GSM leak ...
My Suggestion : Just give it a try and find out yourself in less than 1 hour
Root using tool from Eternityproject / Matts Utility , backup data using Titanium Backup
Install Safestrap 3.05 , Backup your Stock ROM using Safestrap
Activate Slot 1 , instal Eclipse 1.5 followed by GSM patch then reeboot .
Give it a try , since its Safestrap dont worry about bricking ..

Do let me know if it worked ..
The XT912 is a GSM/UMTS capable phone. The Verizon ICS update in June made this possible. And the Verizon LTE phones aren't SIM subsidy locked (though they will unlock devices anyway). I've used it both with the Verizon SIM and using 3rd party SIM's in more than a half dozen countries in Europe and Asia.
Here's what I don't know: Will the XT912 Razr/Maxx operate in the US on the AT&T and T-Mobile networks similar to the way Verizon's latest devices (iPhone 5, Razr HD/HD Maxx, et al) do so? I ask this because older devices will not connect to AT&T or T-Mobile (Droid 3, Droid 2 Global, other non-Android phones) so it was difficult to fully validate a ROM without leaving the country.
If I had a T-Mobile or AT&T SIM, I would test, then load a ROM and test again. Though ideally the perfect test is to be loaded up with a ROM and travel abroad - but I don't travel with more than a tablet so if I'm abroad with a ROM that won't play nice with rest-of-world UMTS data I'd have no way to go back to stock nor would I want to waste the time while traveling. Though I understand Safestrap is essentially a dual-boot method so this wouldn't be an issue?
Actually safestrap lets you swap roms with a reboot and a few taps. You should try it out.
I'm from Europe, have Verizon xt912 (stock rom) with working gsm and cdma. Switching between them in *#*#4636#*#*

Hey, just gave it a try with eclipse and gsmPatch. Still no go. Tried with WCDMA Preffered, GSMauto, and GSMonly. Worth a shot though and Thank you for the info and links.
Alright, I did a quick search and nothing popped up and I'm looking for the latest information anyway. Also I'm a complete beginner here
Alright, I installed a new stereo into my car and everything works great. Except that when I'm streaming the stock google music app the tags do not show up on the display. According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560609&page=22 this is a common problem with the receiver and it appears that most/all stock ROMs will not display tags. So according to that thread I need a custom ROM specifically one that runs 4.1. I guess 4.2 does not show tags on any ROM.
So my question for you is. What is the best 4.1 ROM to use? What is the most stable that has all of the features of my stock OS?
Also what tutorials do you guys suggest. I was planning on using the ones found here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155576. What does GSM mean btw?
Sorry for being so clueless on this. Thanks for the help guys!
Well im kind of nooby to, but i can tell you what gsm means. It means a sim card based phone or network (gsm phone, gsm network, etc.). Such as T-Mobile or ATT. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subscriber_identity_module
The opposite of GSM is CDMA (CDMA based network, CDMA based phone), you don't need a sim card for your phone, I guess your phone comes programmed to whatever carrier. Major networks are Verizon and Sprint.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_division_multiple_access
GSM phones are easier to switch carriers with, just unlock your phone and pop in what ever sim card from any carrier you want (although you may face limited functionality, such as only 2g).
If your razr has any Verizon branding (Verizon logo) its the CDMA xt912, or you can tell its CDMA if on the back of the phone it says xt912, and by going into "Settings"> "About Phone" (scroll down)> "Model Number". The GSM variant has no Verizon branding and has an xt910 on the back, and by going into "Settings"> "About Phone" (scroll down)> "Model Number". So when people say xt910 its GSM and xt912 its CDMA. Do not install roms for the other phone (if you have GSM do not install a CDMA rom, vice versa, unless you use patches such as this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805380, make sure the rom you want is supported).
The rom i use is CM10.1 (cyanmod 10.1) its really stable accept for me, camera doesn't work (I usually carry my "un-hacked", other phone with me so it doesn't matter) Its based of of 4.2.2 here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028020

Thanks so much for the response. I was worried for a second. Well I found out earlier today what the difference between CDMA and GSM. Mine is the xt912. Thanks again for clearing that up for me.
As for the ROM I believe that the 10.1 is based off of 4.2 where as 10 is based off of 4.1. I'm looking for a 4.1 ROM that has all the features including the camera and everything I'd expect from my phone. I don't mind it being old or anything. I'd actually prefer it. Can anyone help with that? Suggest a ROM to use? I've been looking around all day today and didn't find anything that looked that great. I wouldn't mind CM9 if it was more stable. Just looking for one that isn't based off of 4.2.
Thanks again for the response though! It was very helpful.

Yup, no problem.
These roms are all CDMA xt912 roms, these require JB kernel (pretty much JB as your phone's stock rom) If you do not have JB official as your stock here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083129
(If you don't have already) Your going to need Safestrap recovery 3.11 before you can install roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391900
Make sure you uninstall any recovery you have installed (such as Bootstrap, and any other Safestrap version) before you install Safestrap 3.11.
Here are some stable roms (with everything working):

If you need help with any thing or run into any problems (I've ran into allot and I've learned how to fix) just message me or post right here.

I know that every method works for each version of your android system, I rooted my phone, I guess the next step is to install the boot Menu Manager, I am new @ motorola phones, I come from Samsung Droid Charge, I would like to install a fully working debloated rom, I currently have the latest update 4.1.2.
I am lost, but I know I have root, I just checked with root checker.
Please help me !!
Hi. Go to your browser and install safestrap 3.11. After that, just find a ROM and follow instructions. There's a guy named Tom on YouTube who has some good 'how-to' videos. Don't use ROM manager or ROM toolbox. They arent very reliable or up to date. Titanium backup is a good purchase that helps. Have fun and whatever you do, keep and backup your stock ROM!

you just check out droidrzr.com they are dedicated to xt 912 cdma and have lots of good support and live chat support as well. incase nobody helps you here
Is ROM Toolbox still a good/safe app for debloating my stock ROM?
I came from an HTC Thunderbolt and this phone is already very different.
Also, does anyone know of an EXTREMELY STABLE ROM that is 4.2.2 Jelly Bean for this XT912?
i wouldnt suggest using rom tool box. motorola have locked bootloaders things are done differently with them while samsung and htc and others have unlocked bootloader. this is where motorola gets tricky the website i referred to you have an active chat and lots of good support if you post there. somebody will respond to you fast.
razr is kind of dead in forums because of how difficult motorola is development. it really is painful.

I kinda figured it was.
Having to use the Smart Actions app during the root process is what made me think... wtf? Lol.
Check out the CM 10.1 and Avatar ROMs is you are going for a Jelly Bean rom. So far i have liked them. FYI, i just rooted my razr a few weeks ago as well. I am loving it. :laugh:
Everything works but 4g. I can't get the apn settings to save. Im guessing it may be due to this or being stuck on nd6 radio. Info on custom roms for this device are scarce but some say they have working 4g on cyanogenmod roms. So far ether downgrade to stock 4.1 touchwiz or stay with the newest stable cyanogenmod and lose 4g. If the straight talk model would have gotten the kitkat update like samsung said it would i wouldn't have the problem of needing nd8 for touchwiz 4.4 but id still be using a cm based rom always been enjoying cm since my g1 . if anyone has any info on how to get working 4g it would be verry helpful. I have apn backup from the stock rom just cant edit them on cm 11

Hello. this is my first thread any help is really appreciate it. am not advance phone user in anyway but i do have some understanding about work around and tweeking a bit.
my phone is the galaxy note 3 sprint version and still with sprint software version is (N900PVPUEOK2) model # is (SM-N900P) last night i installed the TWRP V. 3.1.0.0 bootloader (i think that's what it called) and from it i tried to install the Darkloard ROM this is it exactly the one i tried (DarkLord.Note7.Full.Port.V1.0.edit.Ufo71) it didn't work at all it was stuck at some point and the device restart so i change the TWRP to V. 2.8.5.0 and it did work Darklord installed perfectly then flashed the kernel (DarkLord-Kernel-Note7-hlte-eur-V1.0) the device worked with out netwrok signal and keep giving me the com.android.phone app not responding Erro message over and over i tried to fix and did all the process again and again still same exact problem then i flashed this fix (Updated_DarkLord_Note7_REPACKED) still same exact problem no signal tho the phone work perfectly but even when i go to network search no network appear... i even tried and flashed the Darklord same version i have (not sure if there is another) i flashed it from stock bootloader or the lollipop bootloader without the TWRP and again it did work but no signal. and same error message.
sorry TL,DR maybe but can someone please tell me if there is any version of the Darklord Or any Note 7 or Marshmallow ROM that can work on my Galaxy not 3 sprint without problem would really appreciate it...
when all didn't work i had to get the TWRP boot and flashed the Android 5.0 back to my phone and it work perfectly now. i still want the Not7 features tho if anyone can help.
cheers
Unfortunately, that happens on every s7/note 7 port due to the roms being meant for gsm. The workarounds are a pain and are hit or miss. One sprint user got this one working: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ormaaurora-t3540520/post71187917#post71187917

Hi, @yzar78 Exactly which Araymod did you flash? I have the same phone and service as you (Sprint Note 3) and I flashed the Phronesis v5.1 Note 7/S7 Edge rom and suffered the same problem. No network signal. Wifi worked great. Internet, bluetooth and all, just couldn't call or text. I'm a newbie, so any and all information is appreaciated.

The phone is currently set to gsm, but I'm hoping like in older roms we can switch it to lte/cdma
