  17. Hello, I have been using a 2nd gen firestick that I ordered pre-loaded with Kodi. It has been working fine. Tonight, I received a message saying that I am using Kodi version 16.1 and that version 17.1 is available and should be updated. When I try to download ES File Explorer or Downloader apps from appstore, it keeps saying it can’t verify my 1-click billing address. I have double checked everything at amazon and it is fine. Is it because the person that sold me the firestick has it configured to their amazon account? I searched online for instructions to update Kodi, but I can’t get the apps needed for downloading the update to my firestick.

    Please help me. Thank you very much.

    1. It could be because of the person who sold you the firestick has configured his amazon account on the device. I think you should check it in the settings on your fire stick.

  18. Hello. I have recently purchased a new firestick. It is plugged into an older insignia tv. It does have 2 hdmi ports. I plugged it into the second as the first runs my ATT. Now, I can get the firestick to work but, I have downloaded kodi 17.1, when I goto the app the screen flicks in and out every minute. Is my tv too old for these things? I have used my Netflix and that works fine. After I leave kodi and go back to the home screen my whole tv seems to lag. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am not tech savvy! Thanks!

    1. Your TV should not have any issue showing Kodi. Can you confirm if everything else works fine on your Fire TV stick and only Kodi flicks? If that is the case then you will need to reinstall Kodi.

  19. Yup. Everything else works fine. Uninstalled kodi and then reinstalled from the kodi main page. Same exact problem. Then when I exit to home screen I have lag. I lowered my screen resolution but then the playback is choppy. Any other ideas?

  20. Hi, i installed the new kodi and exodus today. I tried to use exodus and could not get past the first options page. Any ideas? Also any sugestions of other choices as good as exodus would be apreciated.

  21. Downloaded app2fire and kodi and installed as shown for Android phone. Message says installation failed, upload successful, pkg: /sdcard/Download/base.apk, Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS] . Any fix for this?

  22. Instead of using the “home” option in the downloader app, just use the browser within the app and type the link found in the article this seems to work whereas the downloader url option does not for whatever reason.

  23. I keep getting an error stating could not parse.

  24. Nothing I have tried seems to work. I had an older style fire stick with kodi 16.1 on it. I wanted kodi 17 so I tried the update. It didn’t work at first so I kept trying. The interface changed to the new style but the install would not work. Now, I can install Kodi but it doesn’t open and reverts back to the initial amazon firestick menu. I have cleared cache and memory, have un-installed and re-installed with no luck. I have also tried to use a pc for the install. I so frustrated. Please help.

    1. Unfortunately the Krypton 17 version of Kodi doesn’t work on 32-bit devices, I think this is the reason why it is not working on your end. The best thing to do is to upgrade to a newer device or stick to the 16.1 Jarvis Kodi.

  25. How do I know what version Krypton to install on my amazon firestick?

    1. If you have old FireStick then you will need to install 32 bit version and if you have new FireStick with Alexa voice then 64 but version is what you need.

  26. Hi there I’ve tried the two easyest methods with no luck on the tv it says can’t access browser and in the phone it gives this,
    Error
    Installation failed:
    [Upload successful,
    Pkg:/sdcard/downloader/base.apk,failure
    [Install _failure_no_matching_abis]]

    1. The error which you are mentioning in your comment is because of difference in architecture. Which means is that Either you have the New Amazon FireStick with Alexa Voice Remote (Which has 64-bit Armv8 architecture) and You are trying to install a 32-bit Amrv7 APK file or vice-versa. To fix this error, you will need to download the compatible APK file from this page.

  27. Kodi downloaded but can’t access movies or tv… previous version came with Exodus add on. How do I load safe add ons?

  28. Brandon Crouse says:

    I’ve followed the directions and installed perfectly only when I go to access the app on the app page I hear the sound of the app starting up but the picture stays black. Any suggestions? Need help please!!!!!
