How to install Super User on HTC One X:

Also applicable for other android  devices.

SuperUser, as the name tells is an app that has administrative privileges for granting and blocking other apps to core functions that cannot be accessed otherwise on unrooted devices due to the security of Android OS.

If you want to enjoy all the perks of a rooted device you will need to install a superuser app. The most common, lite and powerful app is the default SuperUser app that comes installed when you root. But you install a different SuperUser app via Play Store or flash the default app if it is missing from the app drawer.
