Android 8.1 manual update for Gemini 4G (x25 and x27)

If you have trouble updating your Gemini using the over-the-air udpate mechanism you can follow the guide below to perform a manual update.

To proceed, start by downloading the update archive from http://support.planetcom.co.uk/download/Android8_4G/ota.zip. It's easier to download this archive directly from your Gemini, where you just need to open a browser and point it to the URL above. The file will be downloaded in your Download folder.

You can also download the file on a computer and copy it to your Gemini Download folder at a second stage.

Once the file is downloaded, open the File Manager application
