For root, you will need to install the latest SuperSu from SuperSu Beta flash in recovery.

Download beforehand to have available during initial flash.

Also for myself, I was able to keep Data by going to Advanced in twrp and only formatting /system dalvik cache, and cache. Mileage may very.

Huge thanks to @aidfarh for getting this off the ground!!

Actually CM12 uses its own Privacy Guard to manage root, so you don't really need SuperSu or any other superuser app.

I have this CM12 installed and running on my v510 right now and it is unbelievable. The thrill of seeing the cyanogen boot ani on my v510 was beyond words. Will report any issues but it looks great so far. I did a dirty flash (only wiped system, dalvik cache and cache) over the stock lollipop and Sleekai4.7 with no problems. Will likely clean full wipe install later today but just wanted to play, thank you so much for breathing new life into this great device.
Thank you sir, will be sending you some $$$ today you deserve it.
Fantastic work !!! :D

Simply put, it is a way to insure that what you downloaded is what was put on the download site by the creator. There are many windows and android free versions of the MD5 checksum utility. Once you download something you open it in the MD5 checker and it will generate and MD5 hash (among others) you then compare it to the one on the download page. If it does not match it is not the same file as placed there. Either a bad download or worse case scenario a virus or other malware was injected into the download.

Install failed. You think it can just be a bad file and I should download it again?

As I look closer at your screen shot you have an old version of TWRP follow the recommened link for the latest version in the OP and you should be fine. You can easliy update it with flashify.

Looking good

OK, I have been playing now for a bit and I can say this build looks pretty solid. I could not gain root access for any apps until I flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip in TWRP since then all has been well. I can write access to system folders and SD media card fine with FX File Explorer. All root apps ie.. better battery stats , Titanium bu, stick mount and Trickster mod and busy box all look fine. And still only on a dirty flash from stock lollidog. As expected no GPS which is no biggie for me had it turned off anyway, rarely leaves my house. And maybe I am drunk with enthusiasm but the display looks crystal clear and brighter than ever before (whiter whites !!!).
Fantastic !!!

The option for root is in the developer settings (tap on build number 10 times or so). But hell, supersu works well too!

Thanks had dev options on (need advanced reboot menu) but never saw that switch, supersu is working great with that off for now but will try that built in one next time I flash after a system wipe.
