Gemini PDA - Linux / Password to Gemini Debian?

« on: July 02, 2018, 07:10:14 am »

At the login screen, "Gemini" is the user, but what is the password? Tried "planet," "gemini," "password," and "admin," but they're not it.

It should be "gemini". But I have seen it work with "root". Try those.

Other question - how did you format the 32GB card "portable" or "internal" - please see other thread where I had problems HERE  curious as to your experience

Portable. So I don't expect any problems there. I'll try it later, thanks!

Gemini PDA - Hardware / µSD card seems stuck

« on: June 17, 2018, 03:43:00 pm »

When I got my Gemini last week, I only had a 32GB card laying around. I quickly filled it up and bought a 128GB card. Now, I'm trying to remove my 'old' card, but it seems stuck? Is that expected? Am I doing something wrong?

I really don't want to break anything. So any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Gemini PDA - Linux / It is possible to setup Debian as the primary boot?

« on: June 17, 2018, 03:35:21 pm »

I have dualboot, and I want setup Debian as the primary boot. How to change it?

You probably missed the checkmark on this page. Not sure how to edit after the fact. Maybe check the difference in the scatter files?

Gemini PDA - Android / New firmware update released

« on: June 17, 2018, 01:33:05 pm »

To update a dual-booted or rooter Gemini, you can do 3 things, one of which made possible by me having done one of these.

1. Wait for Planet Computers to release the new firmware and only flash the system.img.
2. For dual-booted Gemini: Back up everything (instructions on Github wiki), flash fresh non-rooted firmware and install update official way. Then back up again and only select system.img in WWR tool.
For rooted Gemini: flash back unrooted boot.img, update official way, then install rooted boot.img again. (I have not done or tested this method.)
3. Download and flash my system.img that I made with step 2. You can download it here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1q_H...DZvOHYHBcWZQx0C

I did step 2. It costs some time but works perfectly.

I'm not responsible for anything you do with this information however.

Gemini PDA - Android / Safe and unsafe flashing / dual boot with rooted Android

« on: June 17, 2018, 01:18:12 pm »

I went ahead and tried it, I guess things went as expected. Process:

copy Gemini_Dual_Boot.txt as Gemini_Dual_Boot_Rooted.txt
edit Gemini_Dual_Boot_Rooted.txt: replace "boot.img" with "patched_boot.img"
follow Flashing instructions, except that un-check all the boxes except "boot", and use Download Only option.

Flash device, boot: now it's rooted.

Can't see that I would have lost anything in the process; software and accounts remain on Android side, and Debian side seems the same also.

Thanks. These instructions worked perfectly for me.

Was afraid this would break my dual-boot. but it's still going strong.
