While your Android-only Gemini can be updated with the over the air update, for an Android/Linux system you will have to update your device manually via FlashTool. It is important to note that in order to flash your customised Gemini you will need to have your associated Scatter file that you generated using the partition tool when flashing your unit.
Provided you have a copy of your scatter file, to update your Android you need to:
# Install FlashTool - refer to the Android<span style="color: #ff0000;">FlashingGuide </span>if needed
# Download a recent Gemini Android firmware from this page <span style="color: #ff0000;">Gemini Firmware</span>.
# Unzip the Gemini firmware and copy your customised scatter file inside the firmware folder
# Now, run the FlashTool application, load your customised scatter file, select the '''Download Only '''option in the drop down and make sure you select only the system partition as in the following screenshot:<br /><br />[[File:Screen_Shot_2018-06-21_at_16.59.29.png|800x601px|center|border]]
