Odin3 v3.06 Download for Windows

Download Odin3 v3.06 for Windows with the exact file size and SHA-256 checksum. A spring 2012 Odin build that still needs its two DLL files.

Updated by , Developer & creator of SamUpdater

Odin3 v3.06 is a spring 2012 build, from a few weeks before Samsung announced the Galaxy S III.

It’s one of the two builds in our archive that need extra DLL files next to the exe, so keep the folder together.

What’s different in Odin3 v3.06

The version resource only says 3.00. The compile date inside the exe reads April 16, 2012. The ZIP includes tmax.dll and zlib.dll, and they need to stay in the same folder as the exe.

The slots are Bootloader, PDA, Phone, CSC and UMS, plus PIT. Its default Odin3.ini is a little different from v3.04. It sets FactoryResetTime to 120 and adds a ComPortWaitingTime value of 30.

Before you open Odin3 v3.06

Unzip everything into one folder. If tmax.dll or zlib.dll is missing next to the exe, Odin won’t start.

The minimum subsystem version is a file-header value. I cannot confirm Windows 10 or 11 compatibility from that field alone. Check Samsung’s USB driver separately.

Compare the SHA-256 to check that you downloaded the copy listed here. A match does not establish that the program is safe. Keep Windows security checks enabled and review any SmartScreen warning before opening it.

When to use Odin3 v3.06

Use it only if a guide for an older Galaxy device asks for v3.06. For most old devices, v3.07 is the more common pick.

Leave Re-Partition unticked unless your guide gives you a PIT file. Ticking it without the right PIT can leave the phone unbootable.

Older guides say PDA where my Odin tutorial says AP. It’s the same slot.
