==Download and Install FlashTool on Windows==
The first step is to install the flash tool drivers. These drivers are needed for your Windows PC to communicate with your Gemini.
You can find the drivers here: [http://support.planetcom.co.uk/download/FlashToolDrivers.zip Windows Flash Tool Drivers]
Now that the drivers have been installed, we can download the Windows flash tool: [http://support.planetcom.co.uk/download/FlashToolWindows.zip Windows Flash Tool]
You will also need a firmware to flash, either Linux or Android. You can find the available Gemini firmwares here: [[Gemini Firmware]]
Once downloaded please unzip both the flash tool and the firmware. Next, run the flash tool by double clicking on '''flash_tool''' in the '''FlashToolWindows''' folder. Use the choose button as in the following screenshot to load the scatter file that you will find inside the downloaded firmware.
You will need a 64 bit Linux machine and you might need root access to run it. <span style="caret-color: #2b2e2f; color: #2b2e2f; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;">If you get a BROM error when connecting the Gemini (see flash_tool console log) then you should follow this guide </span>[https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/tutorial-how-to-setup-spflashtoollinux-t3160802/page16 https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/tutorial-how-to-setup-spflashtoollinux-t3160802/page16]<span style="caret-color: #2b2e2f; color: #2b2e2f; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;"> - specifically the 2 points regarding udev rules.</span>
