I have the same problem, I try to install Sailfish and in the process wiped out IMEI part !!
I could not get Planet Computer to help me because they where very busy, but got it now
running with this "Hack" I got back from Planet Computer

In the meantime, you can use the following method to temporarily fix the IMEI on your device. With this method, however, you can't currently run Android 8.
- Flash Android rooted image (don’t forget to install Magisk Manager) http://support.planetcom.co.uk/partitionTool.html
- If connected to a PC using ADB:
1. Enable Developer mode and USB debugging
2. **adb shell**
3. **su** (a window should popup asking for permission)
4. **whoami** (you should get root as a response)
5. **echo 'AT+EGMR=1,7,"IMEI"' > /dev/radio/pttycmd1**
Please ensure IMEI is replaced with the real one which you can find on a sticker on the bottom of your original box - it's also present on the Gemini itself if you remove the top cover using the cover removal tool.
1. **Restart your Gemini**
- Typing commands directly using a terminal emulator:
1. Install a terminal emulator (for example “Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich”)
2. **su** (a window should popup asking for permission)
3. **whoami** (you should get root as a response)
4. **echo 'AT+EGMR=1,7,"IMEI"' > /dev/radio/pttycmd1**
Please ensure IMEI is replaced with the real one which you can find on a sticker on the bottom of your original box - it's also present on the Gemini itself if you remove the top cover using the cover removal tool.
1. **Restart your Gemini**
Please note that the IMEI will be lost after a factory reset and you will have to restore it again following the previous steps.

So yes it's a pain and I hope they (PC) will soon NOT be too busy
