Title: Bricked pda on Factory reset
Post by: Hitherwood on October 08, 2020, 02:56:29 pm

I have several Android tablets and sometimes do a factory reset without issues.
Not the case with the Gemini pda! It simply bricked!
Loops endlessly with Planet logo. This is a major flaw.
How do I am get my machine back?

oof.

Did you try booting it up while holding down:

esc?

silver voice assist button?

esc + silver voice assist button?

if none of that responds you could take a look here https://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Restoring_Gemini_4G_x27_firmware

I had trouble with mine after having a singleboot Sailfish installation, and I could not even flash with my Mac and Virtualbox like I used to do it. I tried a few linux distros as well as windows 10, and I only got success while flashing in windows 7.
