In particular(2):</div>* DownladDownload-Agent should be set to the file '''MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin''', which is located in the FlashToolWindows or FlashToolLinux folder.

<div style="text-align: justify;">Once you select the scatter file, make sure you only select the system partition. By flashing only the system partition and not the rest, you will be able to fix your Gemini while keeping all your data, which are stored in the userdata partition. If you choose only your system partition, your screen should look like the following screenshot.</div>
