Android Manual Update

If you have a standard Android installation on your Gemini, then you will benefit from over-the-air Android updates.

However if you used the Gemini Partition Tool to create a custom Gemini partition table, for example to obtain a custom multi boot Linux/Android installation or a rooted Android, then you will have to update Android manually.

This section will guide you through the process of manually update Android on a Gemini.

Note: Before starting is always a good idea to backup any important data, in case things go wrong!

For this process you will need 2 things:

• the updated Android firmware (Base firmware)
• the unique custom scatter file created for your Gemini

To do that, simply visit the Gemini Partition Tool page, select your Gemini version (Gemini x27, x25 or WIFI only) and click on the Download Base Firmware button.

If you see a menu called SIM cards, then you have an x27 Gemini, otherwise you have an x25 Gemini.

Once you downloaded the Base firmware, unzip it to reveal the firmware folder, for example Gemini_x27_08102018. Next, simply copy your custom scatter file into that folder.
