Please read important note below, regarding using SuperOneClick
"Note:It will hang up at #6, when it does this, unplug your phone, go into settings, uncheck and check usb debugging again, then plug back in. At this point it will continue with the root. It will send a test to your phone and you may or may not have to click allow for Superuser."

Alternative Rooting method PLEASE.. support will only be given on post given here DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit Thanks to: DooMLoRD
: If you want a quick fix for duplicate images/media in CM9/AOSP/AOKP builds after a build to build upgrade, do the following.
1. Either go to manage apps from CM9 Trebuchet launcher's option key, OR go to System Settings->Apps
2. Select each of the following apps in the All list in sequence and select Clear Data:
- A. DRM Protected Storage,
- B. Media Storage, and
- C. Gallery.
3. Immediately Reboot.
4. Upon reboot wait about 10 or 20 minutes (depending on the size of your collection) for your media to show up.
For step 4 I use [URL="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eolwral.osmonitor&hl=en"OS Monitor[/URL] to watch for the DRM Protected Storage app (sometimes it will be called Media Storage or even Download Manager) process to drop from 10-15% the CPU usage down to 0. Then I know the indexing is done.[/size]
