i hate posting questions like this but i searched and cannot answer this on my own. probably due to the newer updates that have taken over the spotlight
i have a xt907 i got from my dad to use temporarily and cannot figure out how to root it. it has the 98.18.94.xt907.verizon.en.us under system version
if anyone could point me in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it

There are a few ways I've read about. The following link was reported to work on the last 4.1.2 update.

You could update to the current 4.4.2 software, unlock the bootloader, and then return to 4.1.2 and use SuperSU with a custom recovery like TWRP, which is mostly covered in:

I thought I read that towelroot may work on prior Android versions, but I have not read about people using it on 4.1.2 here.
