<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.</span>'''</div>
To flash your Gemini with an Android or Linux firmware you will need a Windows or Linux PC and you will have to complete the following steps:
# Download and Install FlashTool for Windows or Linux
# Down
==Download and Install FlashTool on Windows==
If you choose to flash a standard Android firmware, you will have to download one from this page: [[Gemini Firmware|Gemini Firmware.]]
After downloading the firmware, unzip it to reveal the folder containing the firmware codefolder, for example '''Gemini_WIFI_MP_09052018''' or '''Gemini_x27_FOTA3_12062018''' and proceed to the next section.
==Download Android/Linux Gemini Firmware==
If you choose to flash a Linux or Android-Linux firmware, then you will have to repartition your device, reserving some space for Linux and some for Android. To repartition your Gemini you will have to use our partition tool, available at [http://support.planetcom.co.uk/partitionTool.html http://support.planetcom.co.uk/partitionTool.html]. A screenshot of the tool is provided below.
