Title: X27 or X25
Post by: petefoth on June 01, 2018, 03:33:41 pm: My Gemini is currently non-functional. I think I ned to reflash it, but I don't know which firmware to use. Is it possible to tell from the serial number (SN YGEMINI4G180400146)?

I have only just received the device, but it was a low order number (9xx)

Thanks for your help-

Pete

Post by: petefoth on June 01, 2018, 05:09:43 pm: The Flash tool gives the following information:

Chip name: MT6797
Chip version: 0x0000ca01

Does that help to identify whether it's X25 or X27

I now have the the X25 firmware flashed and running, so that may be a clue

Yes. I have an x25 and x27 and that was the most obvious difference.

I did one about 2 weeks ago after receiving an X27 Gemini, it was fine.
