# FLASHING GEMINI
## INSTALL DEBIAN ONLY (only one partition, no other os)
1. Install and configure FlashTool
## Prepare firmware
So as planet no provide Linux only firmware you have to do it by yourself.
First of all you need to get a firmware with only one linux partition:
1. Go here : http://support.planetcom.co.uk/partitionTool.html
1. Select gemini version (4G or wifi)
1. Boot 1 : select Sailfish (no this is not an error)
1. Reserve all partition to linux
1. Download scatter file
1. Download base firmware
Next we need a standard Debian image:
1. Boot 1 : select android standard
1. Boot 2 : select debian
1. Reserve partition for debian & android (exact sizes doesn't matter)
1. Download aditional debian firmware
At this you have 3 files :
* Scatter file for Sailfish OS
* Base firmware
* Debian firmware
Create a folder
* Unzip base firmware inside
* Unzip debian inside
* Copy scatter file inside
Now you have to replace all sailfishos_boot.img to debian_boot.img in the scatter file.
There is a simple perl oneliner to do it:
perl -p -i -e "s/sailfishos_boot/debian_boot/g" Gemini_x25_x27_LinuxOnly.txt
## Install and configure FlashTool
- Download FlashTool
