Do you have 16.1 Installed?

 

[2wire]

So You can install 16.1 but not 17.1?

i got gen 1 stick and installed 17.1 no problem using adb fire or app called downloader from amazon store. Get that downloader its so simple just type in this into the downloader app bit.ly/kodi171 the htttps already filled out. This is possitvely easiest way of putting kodi on a firestick.

[mine is fire box and rooted , diff than the fire stick , still havent got kodi 17.1 on it , starting to think where its rooted may be the problem ,may have to unroot it

The Amazon Fire and Fire Stick does not need to be rooted to install kodi..
