Eid Mubarak to all Muslim friends everywhere!
Enjoy the Eid while being home and stay safe :)

A new channel for some devices updates tracking will be ready soon. 🔥
Can you guess it? 😀

Hey!
It's been a while since I wrote something here.
Well, it has been 9 months since last time I touched this script and I'm surprised how bad the code was.

I've almost re-written it from scratch with two new updates:
- Added support for Open Embedded for MSM releases
- Telegram message for Android releases will have more new information: Android Security patch, Build ID, and Kernel version.

If you have any other suggestions for improving the channel let me know :)

It's up now. Check OnePlus Updates Tracker!

@XiaomiGeeksBot is down because of some technical issues.
It'll be online again within an hour.

I'll work on adding more websites later.

An important announcement about MIUI Updates Tracker
https://t.me/MIUIUpdatesTracker/11135

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.

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.
