# Install the FlashTool software on your Windows PC or Linux PC
# Customise your Gemini partition table. Using a simple tool, you will be able to specify the space you want to reserve for Linux and for Android. You will also be able to choose the firmware to download, at the moment we support Android, Rooted Android, Debian , Sailfish 3.0 Beta Community Edition, Kali Linux and Sailfish OSTWRP.
# Flash the firmware on your device
* The''' Base firmware''' contains the basic Android firmware. This is the main component, it needs to be extracted to reveal the Gemini Base firmware folder. All the other component need to be copied/unzipped here.
* The '''Scatter file''' contains the definition of your Gemini partition, based on your selection. This needs to be copied into the firmware folder
* The optional '''Linux module''' (Debian, Sailfish 3.0 Beta for Gemini Community Edition, or Debian+SailfishKali Linux) contains the additional Linux firmware. This needs to be unzipped into inside the firmware folder
You should end up with the extracted Base firmware folder, containing also the scatter file and the unzipped optional Linux module.
Use the choose button as in the following screenshot to load the scatter file that you will find inside the downloaded firmware. In particular:
* DownladDownload-Agent should be set to the file MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin, which is located in the FlashToolWindows or FlashToolLinux folder.
* Scatter-loading file should be set to the specific scatter file of the firmware that you customised, which is located in the firmware folder
In particular, all the partitions should be checked. If you see any unchecked partitions in the list, make sure you unzipped the Linux module in the firmware folder and try again.

==Troubleshooting==
We made efforts to make sure that the flash procedure is fail-safe, but sometimes background processes or other causes might interfere with the process. If this happens, you might experience an error such as "Failed to get PMT info", "Invalid ROM or PMT address" or "STATUS_DOWNLOAD_EXCEPTION".
If you experience this issue, please follow the actions below:
