The AYN Odin 3 update arrives as version 1.0.0.187, and while it brings no new features, it is packed with fixes that cut across key components such as the GPU, display, and battery. It also includes fixes for select games such as Zenless Zone Zero and PUBG Mobile. Unfortunately, according to comments on the Odin 3 Discord channel, the HDR display and fan noise issues have not been fixed. Nevertheless, below is the changelog for the update:

  • Updated the GPU driver to version 800.72, addressing GPU hang issues in graphics-intensive titles such as
    Zenless Zone Zero.
  • Resolved an issue where the microphone remained silent during WeChat voice calls.
  • Corrected abnormal resolution display when connecting to AR glasses.
  • Fixed random crashes encountered while launching PUBG Mobile.
  • Addressed a bug preventing the input method pop-up from appearing during wireless Shizuku pairing.
  • Corrected inaccurate battery cutoff current readings in specific apps like Battery Monitor.apk.

It is worth mentioning that you may run into an error (Upgrade failed. code = 20) when trying to update the Odin 3 if you have Rocknix installed. Apparently, the solution is to restore the original bootloader by running the 'restore_backup_abl script as root. The update should run fine after doing this.
