This document will guide you through the necessary steps needed to install or update Android on your Gemini.
'''Please note: ''''''<span style="color: #ff0000;">Installing Android will delete any user data on the device. Please make sure you have a backup of any important data before starting!</span>'''
<div style="text-align: justify;">'''Important Note: <span style="color: #ff0000;">Please don’t use other tools to flash firmware fo your Gemini as it’s easy to loose key information such as the IMEI number. In particular, never use the “Format all + download“ option in the SP Flash Tool as this erases key information stored in the NVRAM partition and can lead to a non-functional device.<br /><br /></span>'''</div>
==Download Android Gemini Firmware==
Now that the Flash Tool is running, it is time to download the Gemini Android Firmware from this page
After downloading the firmware, unzip it to reveal the folder containing the firmware folder, for example '''Gemini_WIFI_MP_09052018''' or '''Gemini_x27_FOTA3_12062018'''.

Next, just click the '''Read Back''' button, connect your Gemini to your PC and restart the Gemini. Once booting, the flash tool will detect the unit and will write the NVRAM partition on a file on your hard disk called NVRAM0 (see screenshot below). It’s a good idea to keep this file as a backup.
