Now that we have working recovery thx Bin4ry we can root our XZU with chainfires SuperSU.
1. Backup your TA partition
2. Unlock your bootloader
3. Flash via fastboot Bin4rys 510 Kernel with recovery CLICK
4. Download Chainfires SuperSU 1.55 CLICK
5. Boot into recovery and flash SuperSU.zip after flash select NO
6. Reboot and enjoy your rooted XZU with 510 firmware.
Here we come ! It can't be easy than this guys !
So this requires unlocked bootloader..
Currently I'm on rooted 510 using 475 kernel workaround. IF I want to try this method "without" unlocking my bootloader, can I backup TA partition on my current setup, unlock the bootloader (via flashtool, so my unlocked bootloader isn't registered by Sony, I guess?), flash recovery, flash superSU, relock bootloader via backup TA, and live happily ever after?
Just a thought, I'm already rooted anyway
Oh, and considering I'm going to use this method on future firmwares, can I use backup TA on my current 510 setup to relock the bootloader on the newer firmwares?
Should mention a step 0, to backup your TA partition.

Yeah, if you want to lose the XR DRM do this otherwise use a root method which doesn't require unlocking bootloader.

Would be nice to have a root exploit for Locked bootloaders .. waiting for @Bin4ry or @DooMLoRD to create one for us, then it would be win win!

I didnt use any kernal. Just clicked the ROOT button, it rebooted, then again and done. I dont read chinese so no clue what it meant but it was rooted last week.
Thanks.
"unlock the boot loader"
Where is the tool to do that?

I can confirm that I have also rooted with this process. I have unlocked boot loader, then I just enable USB debugging and let the program run and done.
Only one concern, when using some programs, my buttons are now in Chinese. Does anyone know how to change this option?

You need to turn it off either by holding the power button until it shuts off or use the reset button before flashing.

I am very new to this and did something as my friend said, really stupid. I rooted my Evo LTE with the one click root method. This installed TWRP Recovery. After a few days I found a ROM I wanted to install. I installed ROM manager and along with this it installed Clockworkmod. I tried to install the rom from the zip I put on the root but clockwork opens up as my recovery instead of TWRP and does not run any commands. So after trying to get clockwordmod to work and couldn't... I decided to unroot phone and just re-root (yes very stupid). So after unrooting via SuperUser, I tried to install the RUU and it would'nt install as bootloader/recovery not work. I have no clue what to do
Are you running the ruu on your pc? It's not something you flash on your phone.
"We're coming from a pure power source"
cwm recovery dont work on the evo LTE.. u have to flash the twrp 2.2.0 recovery.. yea the ruu is like a tool.. plug ya phone in and run it.. very easy

You have to relock your bootloader to run an ruu.

Try to flash TWRP again. If your able to do this then running a ruu is not nessary. As stated before clockworkmod recovery has problems on the Evo LTE.

Thank you thank you, I was able to relock the bootloader last night. Tonight I will try and reflash TWRP. This has been a good learning experience so far. At least i didn't brick the phone As the phone is no longer rooted do i need to root it as part of my flashing TWRP? The one click root method installs TWRP as part of the whole process.

You do not need to be rooted to flash a recovery but your bootloader needs to be unlocked. If your unlocking your bootloader using htcdev method then you don't need to be rooted. If your unlocking your bootloader using lazypanda method then you need root or temp root before you can run lazypanda.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If you're running into trouble unlocking using regawmod method, try going to HTC dev site and doing the unlock bootloader process that way manually. I was running into the same thing until yesterday when I did that method. If you get unlock, just install twrp recovery using goomanager app (settings, then run/install openscript) and then flash supersu

Yeah I eventually got it. Regawmod wouldn't reboot the phone into bootloader although it said it did. I manually put it in to bootloader,
then it would continue, only to stop at installing root. I copied the root file to sd, then went into recovery and installed that way.
PITA!

Well, if your rom boots normally, then you can download ROM flasher or 4rext recovery flasher from the GP. These apps are able to flash recovery under your android/

I was going to suggest that too, but it sounds like he's at the step after unlocking but before the custom recovery which means su hadn't been installed. I believe those apps need su.
OP: are the drivers installed if you are using a windows machine?

yes,ive reinstalled the drivers a couple times.i dont have su yet.im at the step just after unlocking bootloader.

You could try locking the bootloader and running the ruu.exe to set everything back to stock and then start over.

Although the dev claims it does, Ramjet73 tried it and was having trouble getting it to work with the 3d. I wouldn't count on it working, but I do know that the unknownforce/closeone live CD hboot downgrade method and the JB wire trick do work.
quick instructions...
0. be dev unlocked (obviously) - thanks htc
1. twrp back up your system/data/boot (obviously) - thanks captain
2. in twrp, flash Bad Boys stock rooted rom here - thanks bad boyz
3. in the same twrp session, flash your stock 1.32.651.30 boot partition, or use this one here (unzip, and put the folder in your twrp backups folder)
4. reboot system and download sunshine s-off here - thanks jcase and beanups
5. after sunshine runs completely and system reboots, wait a minute, it will reboot again to finish, then POWER ITSELF OFF
6. reboot back to bootloader after the phone POWERS ITSELF OFF and see that you are s-off. now you can reboot recovery and wipe the stock rooted odex you are on and restore your current rom that you backed up in step 1
that is all.
edit: this guide assumes you have been unlocked, rooted, possibly running a custom rom already, and maybe don't have a stock backup. if you are bone stock: dev unlock, flash twrp, flash supersu, then sunshine s-off.
edit2: also, if you are on a custom rom that has the an untouched boot.img, you may be set to run sunshine already.
Thanks for this. Got a quick question. I'll be upgrading to the m9 soon, so I plan on getting s-off first thing.
Since the phone will be stock out of the box, could I just unlock bootloader, flash twrp, flash supersu to get root, and then do sunshine?
If not, then I'll follow your instructions. Just curious if it will work this way.

yes, this is actually preferred as sunshine likes to be as close to stock as possible. This is how I did it, but I restored my stock backup, flashed supersu, then ran sunshine

OMJ has added insecure boot to rom for control when using adb for theming, etc. Hence the need to flash stock boot to run sunshine.

Because someone didn't wait for SunShine to work its magic before rebooting to check bootloader.
How do I go about trying to achieve root for this device? I have unlocked my bootloader succesfully using the htc dev website.
Do I need to go about trying to port a custom recovery? With this being such a new phone I cannot even find the stock firmware
I picked up this phone for my bride last night. I'd love to root and debloat.
As for the bootloader, I've watched a YouTube video for the htc one, is it fairly easy?
Did you try kingo or kinguser?

I have unlocked the bootloader which was extremely easy via HTC's site. :good:
But, I haven't been able to root the phone via Kingo or Kinguser.... From what I understand if we are able to get the stock recovery.img from the 626s then we can build a CWM recovery zip to flash. Once CWM is the recovery then we can flash SuperSU which will give us root access?
I am fairly newb but I believe the above process would be correct?

I was stuck too, then I found a nice little guide on youtube. Look up "How to unlock the bootloader on the HTC Desire 510 (or any htc phone)" (sorry, I can't post links yet). The guy's a bit more specific than the dev site is. The only difference between the phone used in that guide and the 626s is that you don't need to go into fastboot and can stay in download mode.
Also, make sure to enable OEM unlocking in the developer options. I didn't know I had to do this and it slipped me up at first. Follow the steps and you should be fine :good:

To be quite honest... Im not a HTC fan... I stay with LGs (im on stylo) but I got it for my daughter (Desire626s)... So far she loves it... No complaints @ all so far... Slick, lite,a good phone ... And she's a teen.. You knw what i mean... Now no root yet... Stock.. She haven't asked me for tether yet....So.. Still waiting for a good clean and safe root...

The 626s is a great phone - especially for the price. Paid $80 for it (after rebate) from MetroPCS.
Also - you can use it as a hotspot as-is - no root needed - functionality is included for free - at least with MetroPCS (I have the $40/month plan - unlimited everything - first 2GB of data at full 4G LTE speeds).
Really impressed with this phone. Like mentioned, no root yet, but I honestly haven't missed it - with it's implementation of Android 5.1, it already does everything most people would need to do. Root would be nice to remove some of the bloatware though.

Allow OEM unlocking is checked in developer options also. The Fastboot option is also missing when I boot to bootloader.
