Gemini default boot into Kali

[clintonm9]

Is there a way to change the default boot of the gemini pda to boot into Kali by default and use the side button to boot into Android?

Yes. It's not a problem at all.
You just have to swap the boot images flashed into partitions 31 and 32.
Either:

Open the SP flash tool, double-click on the partition row 31 and choose the "root_boot.img" from your firmware folder, then double-click on row 32 and select the "kali_boot.img", or

Head over to

and create a new scatter file.

Hope that helps and please let us know how you go,

Thanks for the info! Is there a way to change it without re-flashing the device?

You don't have to re-flash the whole device, just those two partitions.
It's best to make a backup of the whole device first using the SP-Flash tool,
then go to the Download tab and untick everything;
swap the boot images and make sure that only these two partitions are ticked before hitting the download button.

To get it to work I also had to change the one named `boot` to point to kali_boot.img.

Thanks for your help!

You're right, it should have been boot, not boot3.
Awesome pickup, thanks for sharing.
