There are 3 Gemini versions, please make sure you select the right version for your device. WiFi-Only Gemini users should select "Gemini WIFI-Only". 4G Gemini users using x25 chip (early release Geminis) should select "Gemini x25" and finally Gemini 4G x27 users should select the "Gemini x27" option. If you are not sure about your Gemini version, just check under Settings -> Wireless & networks. If you see a menu called SIM cards, then you have an x27 Gemini, otherwise you have an x25 Gemini.:

After selecting the partition size, you can * WiFi-Only Gemini users should select the operating systems to use for each boot mode. "Gemini supports 4 boot modesWIFI-Only". When the * 4G Gemini is OFF, press Escusers using x25 chip (Onearly release Geminis) key for around one second to initiate the booting process. Immeditately after that, the unit will vibrate, and after a few seconds the screen will turn ON. When the screen turns ON, should select "Gemini x25"* Gemini 4G x27 users should select the "Gemini will check the status of the Esc (On) key and of the side silver buttonx27" option. Based on the status of those buttons there are 4 possible booting modes:

If you are not sure about your Gemini version, just check under Settings -> Wireless & networks. If you see a menu called SIM cards, then you have an x27 Gemini, otherwise you have an x25 Gemini. After selecting the partition size, you can select the operating systems to use for each boot mode. Gemini supports 4 boot modes (see the Linux boot notes section below for more information): * Boot 1: Both Esc (On) key and side button are not pressed. This is the default booting option when no buttons are pressed.

* 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 modulefirmware. 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.

Once you have extracted the base firmware, copied <span style="color: #ff0000;">'''NOTE: '''<span style="color: #000000;">'''It is important to keep a backup of the custom scatter file and unzipped the optional Linux modulethat you created, '''</span></span><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;">'''you will be ready to proceed need it each time you want to the next stepupdate your device (for example Android) without loosing your data.'''</span></span>

==<br />Configuring Flash Tool==

* 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 want to flashcustomised, which is located in the firmware folder 

[[File:nvram.png]]  Next, just click the '''Read Back''' button, connect your Gemini to your PC and restart the Gemini. Once rebooted, the flash tool will detect the phone and will write the NVRAM partition on a file on your hard disk called NVRAM0Screen_Shot_2018-06-21_at_10. It’s a good idea to keep this file as a backup52.   ==Flashing the Gemini with an alternative firmware==Be sure to follow the previous step to store a copy of the NVRAM partition as backup. Now, run the Flash tool software and click on the '''Download''' tab. Next, locate the '''Scatter-loading File''' option and click on the associated '''choose''' '''button''', as highlighted in the picture below: [[File:flash102.png|center|640x419px799x526px|border]] Now, open the firmware folder from the firmware zip file you downloaded and select the scatter file. If you selected an Android firmware, then the scatter file will be called''' Gemini_Android.txt'''. If you selected an Android/Linux firmware, then the scatter file name will depend on the space you reserved for them, for example''' Gemini_x27_A26GB_L30GB_Multi_Boot.txt'''.

Connect your Gemini and restart it. As soon as ==Troubleshooting==We made efforts to make sure that the Gemini flash procedure is rebootedfail-safe, the flash tool will detect the device and it will update the OS but sometimes background processes or other causes might interfere with the selected firmwareprocess. If this happens, you might experience an error such as "Failed to get PMT info", "Invalid ROM or PMT address" or "STATUS_DOWNLOAD_EXCEPTION".

To update ==Rooted Android notes==If you choose to flash the rooted Android firmware, simply download remember that you will have to complete the latest Android firmware from process by installing [http://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Gemini_Firmware httphttps://support.planetcom.co.uk/indexmagiskmanager.phpcom/Gemini_FirmwareMagisk Manager] and use using the '''Download Only''' option while selecting only the system partition, as in the screenshot belowfollowing steps.
