The link above is for a German forum that requires registration to see any links. I've found a direct download of the v3.0.1 firmware, in case anybody is searching for one:
https://mega.nz/file/jUI3SQJa#k_yGLN...gkpdaG1WoYx6mQ * I haven't tried updating with the firmware yet, so the usual caveats apply, but I found the link in this article about updating via Linux. It seems legitimate, so I'm fairly happy to trust that the firmware isn't sketchy. Last edited by Sortable; 08-30-2023 at 05:09 AM. Reason: Added firmware version number |

Actually, forget the above post (I can't seem to edit or delete it now). I ended up translating and registering with the German forum to reveal the links, which includes slightly newer firmware (v3.1.1) than the one I shared.

Oh. If the second is a firmware update from 3.0.1 to 3.1.1, does that mean I can't or shouldn't use it to directly update my Ares from (I think) 2.3.3-2020041717?

From 2.x (Android 6) you must use the first to update to Android 8.1 (3.0.1). After it you can update to FW 3.1.1
