Install Kodi v18.9 (or previous versions including Krypton) on a firestick or on a shield
If you update from eg Kodi v18.1 to v18.9 your build will still work.
You can't update from Kodi v17.6 to Kodi Leia (v18.0 and later), you have to delete Kodi v17.6, download and install the latest stable Kodi Leia.
If you use Google play store disable auto-update apps (see pic), to avoid getting the wrong version. Always use kodi.tv or the short links below that came directly from kodi.tv.
If you prefer Downloader but downloads don't work type & install the following in Downloader's address bar:
https://browser.aftvnews.com
If you don't want to use my short links shown below, using Downloader, just type:
http://kodi.tv/download
Then select Android, and ARMV7A (32BIT) if you have a 32 bit android device, or ARMV8A (64BIT) if you have a 64 bit android device.
Firesticks are 32bit, shields are 64bit
Don't know if your device is 32 or 64 bit?
You may open the wizard and view the log, on the 5 first lines there is system info.
Or use an apk, info here:
