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>
