Gemini PDA - Android / Unable to flash Firmware

« on: February 02, 2019, 12:38:56 pm »

Bad luck :-(

Never seen that error myself, but the first thing I'd check is the scatter file: have you loaded up the same file you used to flash it in the first place?

No idea. I've made all the same choices and followed the same procedure, but can't guarantee anything.

Current state.

Really stuck now.

Hi,

My Gemini wouldn't boot after flashing. I've managed to get it to connect to the Flash Tool again but now it gives and error "Invalid ROM or PMT address".

Don't wish to brick the thing, so any guidance on what to try next?

Gemini PDA - Android / June Update Gives Error

« on: July 24, 2018, 01:30:48 pm »

Seems that I have an x25. No SIM installed currently and no triangles. No mention of an eSIM anywhere.

I don't think that it's rooted. I don't remember rooting it.

Going to try further with the flashing.

Still no joy. When I use the flashing tool, I can't select any of the lines in the table. I can select the "select all" check box at the top of the table, but no other rows become selected.

Any suggestions?

Just realised that I don't have any file locations on my screen. Adding them manually. - Scrub that. Now worked out what the scatter file is and so have finally got all of the files in the right place and so now it all works OK. :-)

OK, everything goes well until well into the firmware upgrade when sending data to the Gemini when I get this screen.

Any ideas?

[Update] - It's now frozen and won't reset. Is there a hard reset for these things?

I've tried several times to install the wireless update for 12 June 2018, but each time I tried I get an error.

On reboot it starts the install but then shows the Android robot on his back with a tiny "error". I've installed Debian. Could that be a problem?

Alternatively, I'd like to try the new firmware instead and add Sailfish, but I'd like to be more confident that I have the x25 and not the x27 before I start. Currently, the only way I know of checking is the...

If you are not sure about your Gemini version, just check under Settings -> Wireless & networks. If you see a menu called SIM cards, then you have an x27 Gemini, otherwise you have an x25 Gemini.

Is that the only way to find out?

I ordered mine on IndieGoGo so I'm assuming that I have an x25. And I don't see the SIM cards menu. Can I be certain it is an x25?
