Cheers Billy, It's for my niece and I tried talking her into getting a wee m8s box but her TV is mounted on the wall and she said it's easier to hide the firestick (that's if she ever gets around to buying it)

EDIT: Had a quick look at the link and I'm stuck already and seeing as I don't have a fire stick to try it with can someone explain if they mean plug into TV before you start this part ? (part in bold below)Jeeez this isn't a very good idiots guide lol. Also once Kodi's on it is it just a case of installing whatever repos that she wants or will it come with some repos on it ?

Method 1 Using ES File Explorer

Select Settings
Select System
Select Developer Options
Select Apps from Unknown Sources and turn ON & Select ADB Debugging & turn ON

You take firestick out of box and plug it into hdmi port.Take the power cable,plug it in to stick and mains.Switch it on and follow on screen instuctions in order to register it(you need to have a Amazon account)and connect it to your wifi.If she bought it from Amazon it will already be registered.Then I would follow method 2,that's the way I done it.

You will also get instructions on all the repos you want by typing repos name into search bar at top of page containing Jodi instructions.

Thanks guys, I note the the video ilovenzb linked are for Method 1 - ES File explorer.

@billy if I follow your way (method 2) do I do the above then plug the firestick into the computer ?

I used abdfire to put kodi 1.6 on to an Amazon fire box myself when i had one, Don't know what abdlink is ???

I wouldn't know if there is a difference but if there is would they not just both do the same thing Wull ? ie allow you to modify the devices/software ?

Oi don't you go confusing me anymore than is neccessary pmsl

Oh and can I do it without having a VPN ?

Don't plug it into pc,download adbfire as it says to your pc/laptop.Then you go into settings on fire Tv stick and get its IP address.Type this into adbfire and then click start adbfire and click connect,now it should say connected.You are now connected to your fire stick wirelessly as both will be on the same network.

No VPN required

Adblink will just be a link in order to download adbfire.

Well that shows how stupid I am as I'd have plugged it into my lappy lol so it never gets plugged into a PC ever ?

Next Q, once I get kodi onto it and say for example I wanted to put UK Turk repo on it, do I need to use adbfire ? or can I just follow the normal guide ie this one https://seo-michael.co.uk/tutorial-how-to-install-uk-turks-playlists-kodi-xbmc/

My niece wants exodus on it, and sports and cartoons, whats the best cartoon repo ?

More Q's will follow tomorrow once I've got the stick and made a balls up of everything pmsl

Forgot to ask, when my niece gets it, how do I get it connected to her network and I assume she'll never need to use adbfire ?

Cheers Wull I might end up doing that but I don't really want that much, just not sure which is the best for cartoons.
Edit, just checked the Kodi on my lappy and ares wizard does have exodus on it.

You would only use adbfire to install apk files.These would be things like Modbro for example which would install them on your stick but outside of kodi.All repos can be installed using guides on Seo-Michael.

Think this is slowly sinking in, so adbfire is only being used to initially put kodi onto the firestick ? and I could also use it to add other apk files or to push any zip files that I have downloaded to my PC ?

That was easy apart from adbLink not connecting to begin with (not sure if I was just impatient) but after a few tries it worked.

My niece will have to wait cos Bill said he's keeping it for in the bedroom, I went the long way around getting Specto Fork following this guide https://seo-michael.co.uk/tutorial-how-to-install-specto-kodi/ (typing address in with that stupid wee remote is a pain in the ar$e) !! I used the remote again to get AresWizard and installed Exodus plus a few other things and some sport from there. I already had itvplayer and iplayer on the lappy so I pushed them to the stick using adbLink.

Thanks for all your help guys :zoom:

This is full proof way to install kodi on amazon firestick. Actually there are 2 methods to install kodi on firestick (http://www.thetechtoys.com/install-kodi-firestick/) (explained in the link) which don't need any android phone, App2Share. You just need firestick to instal kodi on firestick.
Enjoy B-)

specto had gone from mine, not sure what else but on my firestick I was advised to clear cache/data, then reinstall ares wizard https://seo-michael.co.uk/tutorial-how-to-install-ares-wizard-kodi/ from that I installed bob,Dc sport, sport devil, UK Turks, exodus and Elysium didn't work when I installed from there so I installed both of them through https://cazwall.com/simply-caz-tv-on-kodi-explanation-how-to-install-new-repo-in-description/
for iplayer I installed it from the kodi repo (Setting, addon, get adds on, install from repo, choose kodi repo, choose iplayerwww)
for itv player an old one I had on my laptop still worked, I can upload it if wanted.
