Select either "Install" or "Install zip", then install zip from sdcard, and sel
ect the SuperSU.zip you downloaded
earlier.

Yes, you are not done yet. As an extra layer of security, htc prevents you from
editing the system partition, with
something called system write protection. To get it away, you need to install a
custom kernel.
First, check your software version. You can do this by going to "Settings"->"Abo
ut Phone"->"Software version".
Mine, for example, is: 1.32.401.3
Now, if your software version starts with 1.20 or something lower, then you must
install the Kangbang kernel, else,
install the Ultimate kernel.
