This document will guide you through the necessary steps needed to flash your Gemini with Linux or Android OS.
'''Please note: ''''''<span style="color: #ff0000;">Flashing Android or Linux 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.</span>'''</div>
==Download and Install FlashTool on Windows==
The first step to install FlashTool on Windows PC is to install the flash tool drivers. These drivers are needed for your Windows PC to communicate with your Gemini, the minimum requirement is to have a 64bit Windows operating system.
You will also need a firmware to flash, either Linux or Android. You can find the available Gemini firmware here: [[Gemini Firmware]]
