Plea</span>se use the '''choose''' buttons on the right hand side as in the following screenshot to load set the Download-Agent (1) and the Scatter-loading file (2):</div>
* Download-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 have chosen the Download-Agent and Scatter-loading File, make sure that you deselect all the items in the table except the system partition. By flashing only the system partition, 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.<br /><br /></div>[[File:IMG_05062018_160710_0.png|641x360px|border]]
<div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally, select the '''Download Only''' drop down menu and click on the '''Download''' button as in the screenshot below.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Connect your Gemini and restart it. . Once rebooted, the flash tool will detect the phone and it will update the OS with the selected firmware. Once the flash process is finished, disconnect the Gemini and then press and hold the Esc (On) key until the unit reboots.</div>
