Okay guys and gals,
Today I'm gonna be giving you some directions on how to root the HTC Desire 510.
Steps:
1. What your gonna need is your phone, a usb, and a pc. (I used my xperia z as my pc)
2 Your gonna need to download [THIS]. This is the recovery image your gonna need. Just download that and put the file in a folder on your desktop or somewhere you'll remember.
3. Next your gonna want to reboot your phone into fastboot and connect it to your pc.
4. Next on your pc pull up cmd. (search cmd in the start menu) and type "fastboot devices" without the quotes and hit enter. If it shows your device your ready to move on.
5. Now your going to want to change your directory to where the image you downloaded is with a command similar to this "cd C:\users\xxx\desktop\recovery folder". Next rename the image to something simple like flash.img and type this into cmd "fastboot flash recovery flash.img" after doing that you should be able to boot into twrp from the hboot menu on your device.
6. Next on your computer download the su binary zip here. After downloading it reboot your device and copy it to your internal storage and reboot back to your recovery. Then in your recovery go find the supersu-v2.16.zip and flash it then reboot normally. Your device should now be rooted.
Thanks for all your help

I did do that I tried multiple times. Also when I try to run the fastboot from HTC site it keeps telling me something about missingadbapi.dll
2858
Worked like a charm. Much appreciated
Many Thanks! Phone Rooted! but i had 1 question whats the difference between this recovery.img(10,594kb) and the one on twrp website which is 10,480kb in size. just wondering? thanks
This worked great for me, thanks! It was my first root ever, and I had some guidance along the way, but this thread as well as the one to unlock the bootloader were very useful. The only snag was HTC took forever to email me the key.
Thanks again!

is there a way to get s-off yet?
Works for HTC Desire with model # 0PCV1?

Okay guys and gals,
Today I'm gonna be giving you some directions on how to root the HTC Desire 510. Basically what your gonna need is your phone, a usb, and a pc. (I used my xperia z as my pc) Over HERE is the recovery image your gonna need. Just look for the download. So download that file and put it in the root of your hard drive. Next your gonna want to reboot your phone into fastboot and connect it to your pc. Next on your pc pull up cmd. (search cmd in the start menu) and type "fastboot devices" without the quotes and hit enter. If it says its not a command or something like that head (here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790) and follow the directions. After that type fastboot devices again and hit enter. If it shows your device your ready to keep moving on. Your going to want to change your directory to where the image you downloaded is with a command similar to this "cd C:". Next rename the image to something simple like img.img and type this into cmd "fastboot flash recovery img.img" after doing that you should be able to boot into twrp from the hboot menu on your device. Next on your computer download the su binary zip here. After downloading it reboot your device and copy it to your internal storage and reboot back to your recovery. Then in your recovery go find the supersu-v2.16.zip and flash it then reboot normally. Your device should now be rooted.

I am reading that this seems to work on HTC Desire 510 devices however I know that Boost Mobile had its own little version of the HTC Desire 510 with the model number 0PCV1 and ive read a lot of threads stating that it was unable to be rooted. So before I started to touch anything I was wondering if this for sure will work with my HTC Desire 510 with model number 0PCV1. Thanks.
Have Boost HTC 510 OPCV1 and I'm unlocked and rooted. Only downside is the unlock threw it to s-on and it says tampered in hboot.

Okay well its good to know rooting is possible. However the downside sounds iffy to me, I guess since Ive never rooted an android device yet. I have previously jailbreak'd an iPhone 5c on iOS 8.1
Does the s-on effect anything? And what about the hboot flagging as tampered?
The downsides is really nothin. I'm on the 510 right now so hope this explains it pretty well: htcdev.com/bootloader/about_unlock_process

Okay that explains it pretty well to me. My final questions if your hanging around the thread, did you use this original posting to root your device?

Definitely this is not my own idea..i searched the forum and made easy for newbie users to s-off and root their devices!
S-OFF your HTC Incredible S
1. Download Windows version of Revolutionary tool from the website http://revolutionary.io/, keeping the browser windows open
2. Extract the zip file to a new folder
3. Connect your HTC Incredible S to your computer, making sure USB Debugging is enabled on the phone
4. Open the extracted Revolutionary folder right click on ‘revolutionary.exe’, select ‘run as administrator’.
5. Note down the provided key, go back to the original Revolutionary browser window and type the relevant information into the form to get a second key
6. Type the second key into the Terminal
7. Once it says everything was successful and asks if you want to flash Clockwork, type in ‘Y’.
8. Once completed, reboot your HTC Incredible S
9. Download this file from the site http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip
10. Copy the downloaded file to your root of your sd card
11. Start clockworkmod recovery (start it by following the below steps)
1. Unplug USB
2. Turn the device off
3. Hold volume down button (HOLD IT) and press power
4. Hboot will start. Navigate to recovery with the vol down button. Press power to select and enter recovery.
11. In clockworkmod recovery , select "install zip from sdcard"
12. Now select "Choose zip from sdcard"
13. Then select "su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip"
14. Then select "Yes - install su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip" to confirm
15. Then go back
16. Then reboot.
17. Finally you rooted!
Note : Please follow the steps correctly
Mainly follow the revolutionary steps correctly and enter the correct serial no. and beware of the uppercase and lowercase letters in the serial no.
Hey senior members crosscheck my process and let me know if i did anything wrong!
Happy hacking
How is this different from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337105
Both steps look the same, only the one on the other thread is using an official HTC unlocker while yours is using a 'developer preview'.
Which one is safer?
IF you use the unlock bootloader method u cannot claim your warranty because that method register your mobile's IMEI and serial number, so that if HTC see that they might void your warranty even you re-root it...
Is this debranding Incredible S (sim free) or just root it ? Ty

You need to either purchase a SIM Unlock code or use the XTC Clip on your IncS to SIM unlock it.

ya exactly and try this http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/htc-incredible-s-unlock
I would have liked this 2 months ago when I was rooting my phone!
:$
But these are the steps I followed after scouring and not finding it in one place.
This series of steps is quite different than the hboot unlocker method.
First, like poster pointed out, HTC will get your EMEI, as well that the revolutionary method requires the least number or fastboot commands at a prompt and doesn't require you to flash a new ROM in the process.
As well, there's the large difference that revolutionary io is SHIP S-off and the htc boot unlocker leaves the phone S-on, just allowing fast boot to give you custom recovery to install new ROMs, from what I read at the other thread..
What's the similarity except ability to install a new ROM? Looks like different method and slightly different implications...
Useful post!

Hey, just wanna know if this method of rooting will cause me to lose any data? Read in some threads the rooting(S-OFF/cwm) process will wipe your phone, because I've purchased quite a few in-app purchases and I don't think I can transfer the licenses if I were to have my phone wiped.
No, never it wont wipe until you install a custom rom!
hboot?
sir if i use the revolutionary, i will get a s-off and hboot enabled?

If you have HBOOT version 1.16, then you won't be able to use Revolutionary. If you have HBOOT version 1.13 or 1.09, then you can use Revolutionary and it will give you a HBOOT with S-OFF status.
For HBOOT version 1.16, you need to use the HTCDEV Unlock Bootloader procedure which will Enable/Unlock your bootloader but will not give you true S-OFF.

Hey guys, I am trying to get my bootloader unlocked so I can root my HTC One.
I have installed the Android SDK (when the boxes come up to choose what to install, I leave the default ones checked, and click install. Are there other ones I need to install as well?)
I have also installed HTC Sync Manager, the ADB fastboot files, and java.
I turn off the phone, hold volume down + power to get into the bootloader then go to fastboot.
While in fastboot, I connect the phone to my PC through USB.
I then go to the folder I extracted the Fastboot and ADB tools to, hold shift and right click, then choose Open Command Prompt Here.
I then paste fastboot oem get_identifier_token
and hit enter
Then I copy all of the information

Hello everyone,
I bought an HTC one off ebay, having in mind I would flash custom rom on the device which I prefer for obvious reasons. But each time I open Hasson2000 Tool to get ID token I get this error in command prompt below:
*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
*daemon started successfully *
'error: device offline
I have tried searching for solutions but I cant get one to actually fix my own issue, I do know the HTC bootloader has been unlocked and rooted because I can boot to bootloader menu, boot to recovery mode and on top on the screen it says *****TAMPERED***** just below it says ***UNLOCKED*** I figured the previous owner tried locking bootloader before selling it off.
I noticed other commands dont work like reboot device on the tool probably because of that error or my htc is not recognised am not sure. am running Windows 8.1 Pro on my laptop.
What I have done so far
Rebooted phone several times
Rebooted my laptop several times
Unplugged and plugged in usb cable
Used different usb ports it recognises my htc because I can view my SD card or transfer files between laptop and phone.
Please guys I neeed your help with this, thanks.

Depending on the carrier the device was made for and the one you use, OTA updates may not be an option. If it is a carrier device then updates will be pushed OTA from the OG carrier. IF you use a different carrier then you wont get OTA. And to be honest they are over rated and cause more issues then anything else.

What about using the command prompt instead of a toolkit? No disrespect to Hasson2000, but toolkits aren't ideal imo
In most cases, ''device offline'' is caused by an outdated version of the android sdk or a bad usb cable/usb port (btw use usb 2.0 ports).
Also in windows devices manager, your phone must be listed as Android usb device ---> My HTC. If not, you have drivers issue.
If your phone still boot normally, just copy the rom inside the sdcard, reboot in recovery and install it. I will highly suggest you make sure adb and fastboot works correctly before as they will be required if something goes wrong when installing the custom rom. Also make a nandroid backup of your current config before flashing the rom and make a copy of that backup on your computer.

Well actually I used command prompt since the Hasson2000 tool did not work, Yes my HTC displays under device manager when plugged in. I think its my adb that is out of date.
How do I update my adb?

Hi so basically my One M8 for Sprint is COMPLETELY BRICKED! The phone cannot be repaired as far as I know because it is not S-Off and I can only boot into boot loader.
Alright so here's the situation, I am going to setup a repair and my options are:
1. I send the phone in and they repair the phone.
2. I pay $20, ship my phone and after DIAGNOSTICS they send me a replacement phone NOT the original one.
3. I pay $30 BUT they ship me the phone first and can charge me full price if they reject my claim without my approval.
What do you guys think would be the best option? and what should I say is the reason I need the repair? Should I just say something like the speakers are not clear or the headphone jack doesn't work?
When I spoke with the rep it sounded like they are more concerned about any hardware defects rather than software but she did say any unauthorized software usage will result in denied repair.
Also, keep in mind the phone will only boot into BOOTLOADER and has the "Tampered" "Relocked" and "Security Warning" banner.

Hi so basically my One M8 for Sprint is COMPLETELY BRICKED! The phone cannot be repaired as far as I know because it is not S-Off and I can only boot into boot loader.
Alright so here's the situation, I am going to setup a repair and my options are:
1. I send the phone in and they repair the phone.
2. I pay $20, ship my phone and after DIAGNOSTICS they send me a replacement phone NOT the original one.
3. I pay $30 BUT they ship me the phone first and can charge me full price if they reject my claim without my approval.
What do you guys think would be the best option? and what should I say is the reason I need the repair? Should I just say something like the speakers are not clear or the headphone jack doesn't work?
When I spoke with the rep it sounded like they are more concerned about any hardware defects rather than software but she did say any unauthorized software usage will result in denied repair.
Also, keep in mind the phone will only boot into BOOTLOADER and has the "Tampered" "Relocked" and "Security Warning" banner.
Thankyou.

If you can boot into the bootloader your m8 is NOT COMPLETELY BRICKED !..... you can try unlocking the bootloader again, reflashing a custom recovery and a rom.
He will need to pull the boot.img from the Rom since he is not s off.
Your phone is not bricked. By any chance did you do a backup before flashing a new Rom??

OMG You guys just gave me so much hope. If you one of you guys could please me I am willing to compensate for your time. I was an iPhone user previous to this so I am not too knowledgeable but I can definitely follow directions. I had a M7 a year ago and similar thing happened to it but I was able to fix it with the RUU but not this time.
If you guys could just look over my previous thread to give you an idea of whats going on i would much appreciate it.

I believe there is a backup for you to use here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2736048
The problem is you relocked the bootloader (as mentioned in your other post).
Have you try to get unlock_code from HTC ? I don't remember whether you can re-unlock the phone without a proper OS but worth a try.
What's your CID as I can't find it in other post.

Go to this link here and find the link to the 1.54.651.10 RUU (do not do this if you updated to the most recent update that added WiFi calling or if you have a Harman/Kardon version. There are links to the HK RUU's at this same link). Follow the instructions listed at that link to run the RUU. Afterwards your phone should be working fine.

I am really sorry but I can't post right away because XDA hasn't approved me so I only post 5 minutes between.
Don't I have to S-off for the SD card method?
Here's the pic

You shouldn't, no. But you can also run it from your PC. Hit the second link in my sig and scroll down to the RUU section. I have instructions posted there on how to run the RUU from your PC.

Hi i am probably an idiot but is there a RUU for my phone? From the pic I uploaded do you know which ruu version I need? Since I am not S-off it has to be the exact version and the instruction you gave said:
"To run a RUU, simply download the RUU you wish to install to your PC, then connect your phone and PC via USB cable. Once connected, simply double-click the RUU file on your computer to start the installer, then follow the on-screen instructions. Normally, a RUU is run while the phone is booted to the OS but alternatively, can be run while the phone is connected to the computer via Fastboot USB mode. If your device is S-on you will need to relock your bootloader to run a RUU. Use the command "fastboot oem lock" to relock your bootloader (without quotation marks)."
But even after relocking my bootloader and using the 1.54.654.9 RUU .exe I get the error 131 on stage 1/7 Sending Signature. Please see the attached pics. BTW you don't know how much I appreciate your help and you will be compensated.

Use the RUU for the 1.54.651.10 update as I previously mentioned. This update is newer than the current software version you have. You can upgrade while S-on, you just can't go backwards (unless you're S-off). The RUU can be found in this post along with installation instructions. Try the install method that's mentioned in the post and then if that doesn't work try the PC method. If using the PC method make sure you see "Fastboot USB" hightlighted in red above the bootloader menu screen prior to running the RUU. This means that your phone and PC are properly connected.

Glad to help. Use that method and disregard my instructions for using the PC method and you should be good to go.
I had to get some clarification from OMJ regarding that RUU. Just follow his instructions in his thread.

Go on computer then go into your adb and fastboot then open a command window and type fastboot oem lock Make sure your phone is connected to the computer and iin fastboot mode then after you do this just leave the phone there and run the RUU.
