Now, once you have successfully unlocked your boot loader, the next step is to ROOT your device so that you can install custom ROMs and MODs.
If you haven't unlocked your boot loader yet then follow this.
There 2 methods to ROOT your device:
Method 1: (Noobs follow this)
This considered the safest and the easiest - Flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery and then flashing the SuperSU.zip through recovery.
You should need Android SDK Installed on your machine or Download Fastboot from here. Create a folder called Fastboot on your C: (C Drive) and extract the files into that folder.

1. Download latest ClockWorkMod recovery.
2. Now download latest SuperSU.zip file.

3. Place both these files on your phone's sdcard.
4. Place the clockwork recovery file in the C:\FASTBOOT folder.

8. Use your volume key to scroll down to "Fastboot" and press your power button to select it.
9. Type in "Fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru". Once this is finished.
10. turn off the phone and restart in boot loader mode.
11. Goto recover and hit the powerbutton. You should have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed :).
12. Use the ClockWorkMod to install the SuperSU.zip.
13. Restart phone normally and ENJOY!!!

Similarly you can install any custom ROM zip using ClockWorkMod Recovery.
