Amazon Fire Stick...HELP! Struggling with adbfire28 to download Kodi-any advice?

TRAVELMAN_2

Hi all,

Recently purchased this at the bargain price of £19 on Amazon 'Prime' Sale day this week.

I run windows xp 32bit ...not a massive amount of memory & internet connection of 5.3mps. Followed the instructions online re: configuring fire stick-i.e turning on debugging & 3rd party app downloads, etc & noted the devices ip address as needed.

Downloaded adbfire28- slow but managed to set up the firestick on there with the ip adress. Clicked on the 'load apk' file (having downloaded kodi-14.2-Helix-armeabi-v7a.apk from the kodi site & saving to desktop)-obviously making sure that the tab at the bottom 'adb is running' & 'device connected' were showing.

So far so good.....the 'blue progress' bar on the bottom right of adb display moved-allbeit urber slow...to the end where I expected a message saying 'finished' or 'dowloaded' etc...but NO. Blue bar starts AGAIN as if it's downloading again. Let this happen 5 times & disconnected adb & shut down adb server but it did not download to fire stick.

By the way....firewall was disabled during this.

I've googled away but can't find the answer. I know you can download the huge android sdk kit (I'd need an older version as new ones are not xp compatible) but have old java that wouldn't work.

I know there is a 'command' script way of doing it but frankly my head is cabbaged now. There is also a 'push/pull' button on adb28-would that work?

Confused.com...any experts offer any eaasy to follow advice?

Try googling agk fire. It allows you to transfer any apps from your phone onto the fire stick

I presume that will only work with android phone? I've got an iPhone

The app is ADB fire & is only for Android (I think). Again-thanks to Enfield Freddy-I now feel quite the expert lol (!).

I have one of the fire sticks as well, im getting a whole lot of buffering happening on it and its really annoying, I bought the stick with kodi etc loaded
also when I hit the home button I cant get it back onto kodi without switching the stick off and starting again


any suggestions to solve my problems would be much appreciated
