A big shoutout to @<a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=711482 for the assistance in getting a hacked together recovery booting so we could dump stock images.
This will work all on variants except the 64-bit version. I am currently working on getting 64-bit brought up

Okay guys and gals, <br />
<br />
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 --&gt; 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.
