Hi folks, here’s a short tutorial on updating your Amazon Fire TV to the latest version of Kodi. As of this post, Kodi is at version 15.1.

Here’s what you’ll need for the update:

adbFire (software to connect and push the Kodi installation pack)
latest version of Kodi
know your Copy and Paste keyboard shortcuts (hehehe, just a little humour)

After you download the latest Kodi APK (choose the Android ARM version from the Kodi website).

In the next step we need to Push the file to our Amazon Fire TV. We will use the “temp” folder for that as follows:

Start ADBFire, select “temp” under “Push/Pull/Delete Files”, click the “Push” button and select the downloaded APK file.

Once the push completed (ADBFire will show a message), click the “ADB Shell”.

In the shell, type cd /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/temp and press ENTER.

After that type, in the shell: adb install -r kodi-14.1-Helix-armeabi-v7a.apk (the APK filename depends on the Kodi version – it’s the filename of the file you just downloaded). After pressing ENTER, you’ll see something like this:

Update Kodi on Amazon Fire TV

Now that we completed the update, we will remove the APK, just to keep things clean, by typing this in the shell: rm kodi-15.1.1-Isengard-armeabi-v7a.apk .

Now you’re done, restart Kodi and you’ll see a “first run” message, despite the ‘first run’ all your settings and plugins are still there.

Demos for games are rare nowadays, so once in a while you'll purchase a game from the PlayStation Organization and it's an all out stinker. Of course, you could continue to play it and trust it improves. Or on the other hand you could give a discount solicitation to the PlayStation Store, get your cash back, and purchase a game you really appreciate.
