Firmware update, the bot and other projects that uses miui updates data has been updated as well.

MIUI Updates Tracker V3 is here!

This is a full re-write of the script, it brings major changes:
Important: Removed in this release:
- We no longer provide separate files for each update variant, or separate files for every device, instead, one YAML file for latest updates will be available.
- RSS feeds for separate variants has been removed, it'll be one feed for every single device.

The new update brings new features:
- The ability to use many sources: One of them are various Xiaomi websites as sources. In addition it's easy to add another source as appears in "official" module.
- More posting platforms: The script will post updates to Telegram, Discord, and Twitter. Maybe I'll add more later.
- Updates will be posted along with its changelog, md5 and incremental update if available.
- Also, you can subscribe directly to your device updates by clicking "Subscribe" button in update post, and @XiaomiGeeksBot will send you this device updates in pm whenever available. [Telegram only]

Eid Mubarak to all Muslim friends everywhere! ❤️

As you know, Xiaomi has been releasing updates as Stable Beta first then full release recently.
This resulted in much confusion between users as they download a rom to update manually then the updater app doesn't allow to install it.

So, I have updated @MIUIUpdatesTracker, @XiaomiGeeksBot and xiaomifirmwareupdater.com to differentiate regular stable and stable beta roms. Stable Beta may be uninstallable using the updater app, so download it if you have a custom recovery only.

I have open-sourced Samsung Firmware Bot (that was available here)

The code is available under MIT license so feel free to modify and deploy it on your own.

Here's the first post about "Debugging and fixing Selenium's send_keys() wrong text input".

For Arabic readers, check out this post about NextDNS! It's a great service I really recommend to use to protect your internet from ads, trackers, and bad websites.

Magisk Modules Updates is back! 🎉

Hello guys!
As you see, the channel has been inactive since 16 May due to many reason but mainly the lack of time to maintain the channel.

Despite the channel founder veez21 is busy with his own life, he didn't want to leave the channel to die so he contacted me @yshalsager to see if I can keep the channel running since I already maintain many other automated channels and I agreed.

Starting from today the channel is back and It will keep providing Magisk modules updates as previous at regular basis.

I want to thanks veez21 for all his works and wish him the best of luck in his life. Don't forget to wish him luck too!

That's everything :D Enjoy your stay and share this good news with your fellow Magisk users!

Goodbye 2020.
Welcome 2021.

Xiaomi Flashable Firmware Creator V2.1.0
A/B devices support is here

Xiaomi has released Mi 11 with virtual A/B partitions. This is the first device with MIUI interface that uses A/B since it was just limited to Android One devices. So, It became more necessary to add update payload support to our tool.

- Now you can use Xiaomi Flashable Firmware Creator to create firmware packages for Mi 11, Mi A3, Mi A2, and Mi A2 Lite. (Mi A1 is not supported!)
- For now, only firmware packages can be created, I will add fw+vendor packages support soon.
