Title: "The Scatter file does not correspond to this device" error.
Post by: Inqb8tr on September 30, 2025, 09:21:36 am

Hi,

Today I got Gemini PDA (WIFI model) in second hand.
I like the hardware, especially the keyboard.

I'm a linux guy so I tried to install Debian but got errors below.
"The Scatter file does not correspond to this device, the partition table is different.
Please select a matching Scatter file or select "Firmware upgrade" to format the device."

I tried different Scatter files but got same errors with following both url.
https://support.planetcom.co.uk/partitionTool7.html
https://support.planetcom.co.uk/partitionTool8.html

I tried to upgrade the firmware but the program says Gemini-7.1-Planet-08102018-WIFI-V1.<2018-10-08> "Is the latest version."

I'm fairly new to Android world, so I don't know where to start diagnosing.
point me in the right direction for installing Linux on this device?

Now I could upgrade firmware with "Gemini-8.1-Planet-04112019-WIFI-V1.<2019-05-17 22:43>".
But when I tried to flash with dual boot Scatter file, I got the "The Scatter file does not correspond to this device" error.
