What is the Most Common Problem & Solution for Kodi Fire Stick Not Working?

Before You Start Troubleshooting with our Fire Stick Kodi Solutions…
The solutions below specifically address a variety of software and hardware issues that your Kodi Amazon Fire TV is most likely facing. The most common causes of Fire Stick Amazon failure are software errors related to your Kodi installation.
BUT – there is a very good chance that your Internet Service Provider is actually throttling your bandwidth. Bandwidth throttling most commonly occurs among residents of the U.S. (United States) and U.K. (United Kingdom). To prevent bandwidth throttling, hide your traffic with an encrypted VPN (which is easy to set up)
If bandwidth throttling is not an issue for you, then proceed with the rest of this guide.
What Exactly Am I Getting Into Here?
The list of Kodi FireStick fixes (below) is simple to do. In about 15 minutes you can completely re-install Kodi and all the best TV Addons. Feel free to use my “Kodi 17 FireStick + Config Wizard” video tutorial here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaUWF-lBzZo
As my YouTube tutorial video (above) clearly shows, simply re-install Kodi to fix the most common Kodi / XBMC errors. Do this just the same way you first installed Kodi, or use our 2017 updated Kodi FireStick guide.
Notice: Hackers create fake WiFi hotspots to steal your passwords when you log in to public WiFi. Secure your data.
It’s also common for your FireStick to have a more physical problem, like your Amazon fire stick overheating or losing a network signal!
Either way, get Kodi working again with a re-install of Kodi, a USB fan, or a new WiFi router (depending on what’s causing your issue – you may need more than 1!).

How to Fix “Fire Stick Kodi Not Working”
Possible Causes for Your Fire Stick Not Working and SOLUTIONS for Each:
The list below shows you the most common causes for your Fire Stick not working. Below the title for each are the instructions to fix the problem.
- The Kodi fix list below is sorted from MOST likely to least likely to cause your Fire Stick Kodi not working problems.
Psst… Believe it or not, Scenario #1 below is most likely your issue!
Scenario #1: Your Fire TV Stick is overheating. This is VERY common. Get a small fan and plug it in pointing at your FireStick.
Fire Stick Kodi Not Working? Try a USB fan!
The Amazon FireStick has quite a bit of power for its small size. Therefore, the Fire Stick generates a lot of heat and has no active heat dispersion method like air-cooling. So do it yourself!
- Buy a small fan for about $10 (they even make fans that work off of USB power these days), plug it in, and place it pointed at your FireStick.
This should cool the little guy down so you can stream movies for hours without your Fire Stick Kodi not working due to overheating!
If you’re not sure whether your fire stick is overheating or not, then touch it. If it feels hot, then it’s overheating.
Scenario #2: Your Internet Service Provider is blocking your Kodi streams and/or throttling your streaming bandwidth
Many ISPs (Internet Service Providers) actually limit the amount of Kodi streaming data they allow their users to receive. Fortunately, there’s an easy fix: just use a Kodi VPN! Watch the video tutorial I made (below) that shows you step-by-step how to set up the Kodi VPN service. Then take 60% Off (for KFire TV visitors only) the cost of the VPN:
Using a VPN completely encrypts all of your sent and received Internet data. Therefore, your Kodi streams will be totally un-viewable by any and all third parties (including your own ISP).
So use my Kodi VPN setup video to set the VPN up on your devices. Then enjoy total privacy, security, and anonymity while browsing.
Scenario #3: The Kodi app sometimes experiences a glitch or some other problem. Re-Install Kodi and TVAddons to try and fix it.
Try re-installing Kodi and TVAddons
- Try re-installing Kodi and TVAddons to get your FireStick working again, using these steps:
- First, Re-install Kodi and re-install your TVAddons. These days, it seems that using AGKFire or Apps2Fire is the most surefire way to install Kodi on FireStick. We have video install tutorials for installing Kodi on Fire TV using Android, iPhone, etc. But check out our Install Kodi on Fire Stick page anyway to see all the ways to re-install Kodi.
- Then, after you’ve re-installed Kodi, install TVAddons.
- Additionally, if you have the “newer” Fire Stick with Alexa voice remote, then you can easily install many Apps (like Crackle) from the Fire TV app store. Do this by searching for them individually with the voice remote.
How Do I Re-Install Kodi?
Re-install Kodi by simply removing your existing Kodi installation first, then installing it again.
Uninstall then reinstall Kodi on Amazon FireStick using these steps:
- From the Fire TV home screen, go to System > Applications > Manage Installed Applications
- Then go to Kodi > Remove Installed Application.
- Once the Kodi app for FireStick has been removed, simply install Kodi again by using one of the methods on our How to Install Kodi on the FireStick page.
Scenario #4: Your Fire Stick is losing its connection to the network.
Buy a new router for stronger WiFi to your Fire Stick
Fire TV losing network connectivity is a very common cause for your Fire Stick Kodi not working. Basically, the WiFi in the FireStick is only so good. And it has a limited range.
- So if your WiFi router is far away or puts out a weak signal, there are a few things to try:
- Move your router closer to your FireStick
- Move your Fire Stick closer to your Wifi/router
- Eliminate obstacles that are between your FireStick and the router
- Get a newer, better Wireless router for about $20
- See Situation #2 above (Overheating) – Your fire stick could lose network connectivity if it’s overheating. So fix it by adding a small fan next to your FireStick.
- Your ROUTER could be overheating (VERY common). Most cheap routers do seem to overheat. So once again, put a small fan next to it to cool that puppy down! If you’re not sure, hold your hand on your router – if it’s hot, it’s overheating and most likely causing your network connection to be slow or simply just drop out.
Wrap-Up
So there you have it – the three most common causes for your Fire Stick Kodi, not working issues.
Try these fixes and let us know if you have any suggestions on our Facebook page :).
Happy streaming!
Hello! You can re-install Kodi by simply removing your existing Kodi then installing a new Kodi.

I have followed all the instructions to download kodi to my Fire Stick and they’ve all worked fine up until I get to the installation bit. In ES Explorer I’ve added Kodi and can open that and can select Android ARM and click on that but it then does nothing (repeatedly). I have tried dropping to the More option on the bottom toolbar and selecting Open in another Browser, but it just takes me back to the ES Explorer homepage every time. no troubleshooting I can find covers what to do if Kodi doesn’t download. Please help!
Hi again Louise,
In response to your comment, we created a new page:
https://www.kodifiretvstick.com/down/
If you input this into your ES File Explorer, it should allow you to download the Kodi Installer ZIP file free and clear (and will allow you to avoid the rather complex Kodi download page at http://kodi.tv).
Then you simply have ES File Explorer open the Zip file, then launch the installer from within the zip file! We added the instructions for this on our Install Kodi on FireTV page.
Please let us know if you need more help. And thanks again, Louise!
Hello Louise,
If the ES Explorer installation method isn’t working for you, we suggest using a mobile device to sideload Kodi.
Check out method Method 2: Install Kodi using a sideloader app.
If Method 2 doesn’t work for you, try Method 3: Install Kodi using ADB Fire
Just happened this morning. After the startup, Fire Stick seemed updating itself. Then, Kodi stops working. It says something like ‘this not an Amazon installed app’. Does anyone else has this problem?
Hi JJ,
We recommend re-installing Kodi. You can use the instructions at https://www.kodifiretvstick.com/install-kodi-on-fire-stick/ .
If it still doesn’t work after that, let us know and we’ll help you figure it out.
Cheers,
KFTV
I follows the steps but does not give me the option to configure it to my fire stick(gives me option to Mac,Windows,Android,idevices,
Appletv, and Linux) don’t know what to put
After I did everything and installed kodi just fine, I’m having trouble with the add ons, after I down loaded fusion files and then I go to the wizard part it’s not giving me an option to configure it to the fire stick all other options are there. Did I miss a step
Your fusion add ons is not working, why do you keep deleting my comments
Hello Joe,
It sounds like you may have downloaded the non-ARM version of Kodi. Either that or you need to scroll down on the list of Operating System options it gives you (Mac, Linux, etc). “Fire TV” should be an option there.
I have the same problem as Joe. I’ve followed your revised instructions and got Kodi downloaded now (se earlier thread). I’ve also got Fusion downloaded but when I try to download AddOns it fails. I don’t have Fire TV as an option so I’ve repeatedly tried to download via the Android option (one set of instructions said that would work if the Fire TV option failed). The downloading screen appears, but the %bar never moves and after a short time I get an ‘Config Wizard Error’ message in the bottom right hand corner. Been trying for days now. Can you help?
Hi Louise,
There is a second method for installing TVAddons on Firestick: Use the Add On Installer zip file instead of the Config Wizard zip file.
We have updated our page that has directions for installing TVAddons one-by-one:
https://www.kodifiretvstick.com/install-kodi-on-fire-stick/#install-tvaddons
Go to that link and try Method B: Install TVAddons using Add On Installer.
Let us know if you still need help. Thanks Louise!

Hello,
Try re-installing Kodi and reinstalling TV Addons.
Can anyone help please, my fire stick has all of a sudden started playing up and I have no idea why?? I can play and load certain programs like Zem TV and a couple of others but sites like Sport Devil, Exodus, Turk will not work for love nor money. Ive tried to clear the whole stick and start again, I’ve also updated to latest edition of Kodi and finding myself getting frustrated and having to watch the same shit on tv as my Mrs downstairs as my man cave has taken a hit. If someone could help you would seriously be making me very happy…
Sorry to hear that! I recommend trying the Config Wizard – install the Config Wizard after you install Kodi.
It’s possible that your ISP is blocking Kodi TV Addons all of the sudden.
If so, you can use my tutorial video on how to Unblock TV here:

Good luck!

Hi Johnny,
Which methods have you tried? There are at least 4 methods for Installing Kodi on Firestick:
1) Install Kodi on Firestick using Android
2) Install Kodi on Firestick using iOS (iPhone / iPad)
3) Install Kodi on Firestick using PC (ADBLink)
4) Install Kodi on Firestick using ES File Explorer
I have youtube videos and blog articles on how to do each one.
Here’s my youtube channel:

Hello my firestick is not working properly. It keep kicking me out of kodi. A message keep popping up saying critically low on storage I have less than 500 mb of storage on my device I need to uninstall enough apps to fix. I uninstalled all the apps except kodi and cleared cache on kodi nothing works can you please help me.
Hello Rico! I recommend resetting your Firestick to factory default settings.
Hi, I really appreciate your site and order if you can help. I’ve tried every install method with ES and it simply will not download Kodi. The error messages vary but the latest attempt:
Kodifirestick.com/down : webpage not available
Bit.ly file: Wall Street Journal Page Unavailable
Jodi website: clicking on the ARM download has zero activity. Nothing happens
Has ES or Amazon recently updated a blocking patch or something?
I can’t even download the Sideloader app from the App Store!
What’s up?
Hey Tim!
Sorry it hasn’t been working for you, and thanks for the kind words and the comment.
I strongly recommend Sideloading Kodi with an Android device or iOS device. Here are links for that:
Android (our written guide): https://www.kodifiretvstick.com/sideload-kodi/
Android (VIDEO tutorial): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPIzIbLpa5w
iOS (our written guide): https://www.kodifiretvstick.com/install-kodi-on-fire-tv-with-iphone-or-ipad/
iOS (VIDEO tutorial): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up-sSdCqh8E
I hope these work for you! If not, let me know and we’ll get it installed.
Hello,
I was following video directions on how to clean my Fire Stick.
I must have done something wrong. I still have Kodi, but each time
I I click Video I get (Files, Playlists & Video add-ons.
I lost all my channels. What do you suggest I do from here.
Thank You,
After updatingon its own this morning my fire stick doesn’t work. There are no listings under kodi and i cant find exodus anywhere. HELLLP!!
I trun my amazon tv on go into kodi and it puts me to a screen that says pic videos music program system and wont let do any thing wont let me in to kodi any help
I install kodi with the tvguru adds and everything works great. No issues. Then 2 days later I turn it on and there’s nothing there. The initial system screen is on like I need to re-install the whole program again. I’ve done the entire sequence twice and it’s happened for the 3rd time just this morning. What do I do?
Hi Dennis,
I’d recommend trying a different way of installing Kodi and/or TV Addons. If the Config Wizard is causing these symptoms, it would be worth a try to use the Addon Installer instead – install a fresh installation of Kodi then use the Addon Installer to install individual TV Addons.
Here’s a link to my youtube channel with tutorial videos on the various ways to install Kodi:
https://youtube.com/KFireTVNewsOfficial
Hi Danny,
The screen that says “PICTURES VIDEOS MUSIC PROGRAMS SYSTEM” is actually the Kodi screen.
That is Kodi’s dashboard. From the Kodi dashboard, you can select VIDEOS to see if any TV Addons are installed.
If not, I recommend you check out my youtube channel to see how to use Kodi and Install TV Addons:
https://youtube.com/KFireTVNewsOfficial
Hi Takara!
This is pretty common. In this case, it’s best to re-install Kodi and TV Addons. I have tutorial videos for all of that on my youtube channel:
https://youtube.com/KFireTVNewsOfficial
Good luck!
Hi Myrna,
I recommend you try to go to Video Add-Ons and see if there are any addons in there. If not, you can install them on your own pretty easily using one of my tutorial videos on my youtube channel:
https://youtube.com/KFireTVNewsOfficial
Thanks!

Hello,
I recommend trying a different TV Addon. If that doesn’t work, try to re-install Kodi.
Hello,
It sounds like Kodi needs to be re-installed. I recommend you re-install Kodi.
Hello,
The Firestick can appear to be “connected” just fine, but your actual Internet connection may have some other issue(s). Sometimes a modem or router will overheat or “die” (sometimes slowly, not all in one shot) which can result in a device appearing to be connected, but being unable to actually use the Internet.
I would check on your modem and/or router and make sure they’re not overheating!
Hello!
I think I replied to another comment just now for the same thing, but basically it sounds like your network has issues.
Hi, my kodi remote is acting up. Every time I try to swipe left or right, it won’t let me. In order for me to swipe up or down, I have to swipe left or right and I’m not sure what the problem is. I think the Tv updated my fire stick remote and I do not like it at all. Do you know if there is any way to get my firestick back to normal ?
Hi Gianni, are you using the Kore remote?
My brother accidentally bought something on here and since then it won’5t load any kind of show or movie. Anything i can do sonit can work again?
Hello,
You can try resetting the firestick / fire tv to factory default settings.
I use to be able to install the basic Kodi with fusion and then add on the Spinz repo. Now, this option no longer working. I was able to download the Beta version of Krypton, but this is a shitty version and I am no longer able to get Spinz.
Does anyone know an alternative option that works better. When should be expect the complete version of Krypton to come out and will spinz repo be available for krypton?
I am forever indebted to you for this intiamrfoon.
A wonderful job. Super helpful innaimotrof.
The same thing has happened to my remote but it is the original fire stick remote not the kore remote? Please can you help?
When watching a movie it stops 5 mins into it(with a critical low on storage pop up)
My firestick keeps giving me a “help tip” upon launch, telling me that a mouse does not work with it and to go to settings and change that setting. I do not have a mouse set up or is it an option in my settings. I can’t get past that screen to access Kodi at all.
Yes I do
Hi Mike,
I suggest you try a “Mouse app”. If you have an Android or iOS phone, you should be able to download a free mouse app that works on Fire TV. This should be able to simulate an actual mouse that uses your phone’s screen like a touchpad on a laptop.
Other than that, you can try a Bluetooth keyboard / mouse combo, or bluetooth mouse.
Hi Alana, sorry for the late reply!
Does it just continuously go back to the “splash screen” that shows the fire tv logo? If so, it may be defective. Some Firesticks are just “bad”, but they don’t go bad until a while after they’ve been used.
If you can at all get to the main menu, try to Reset to Factory Default settings.
Hi
Going slightly crazy with my Amazon stick. Nothing on kodi will play. Movies, sports etc

I have installed Kodi and all TVAddons on the Firestick. When I go to play a movie, it takes forever to load and I have yet to see any movie play. I have Kodi installed on my laptop in the back bedroom (away from the router) so I know it’s not a wifi issue. Do you have any ideas?
That didn’t work the problem is getting pass the purple screen to reset the page -_- it made me soooooo mad last night lol.

KODI was installed on this when i got it, so I have NO IDEA how to remove or install anything.. help!

Everytime i try to add xenon or any other type of add on it says it cannot download may be due to network settings. Any solutions?
Hi Madison. I replied to your comment over at the Xenon Build Install article. This sounds like it may be the same problem; the western Ares repo address is no longer working, so we must use their main http://ares-repo.eu/ URL for now.
Good morning. I’m having problems actually getting any build to work. It downloads flawlessly but when trying to watch anything inside the Kodi it is not working. I have other apps I recently attached to my firestick i.e. Mobdro and it works perfect.
Just downloaded Kodi 17.4, when I try to do the addons, either indigo, fusion etc, after I name it and hit OK it errors out and says cannot connect, do you want to add it anyway….no matter what I try I cant get the zip files I need
Hi Carmen, the Kodi third party community is highly volatile and in constant flux. This is one of the many reasons we constantly remind readers to use a VPN while accessing Kodi third party add-ons. Have you tried any of the newer repo or plugin install articles? I would suggest trying out the Colossus repo, as it has many of the newest TV Addons within. You may have heard of Exodus and Phoenix, which were extremely popular but are now dead aside from some imitators using their names. Within the Colossus repo, they live on with the original developers as Covenant and Bennu, respectively. There is also the fantastic NoobsandNerds repo, which houses my current favorite 1080p Movies add-on along with many others. I hope this takes care of getting you the content you’re looking for. Let us know if we can help in any other way.
When installing Titanium on my fire stick I get to where you pick a server. Either server I pick US1 or USB it starts downloading but after a min or so my Firestick shuts down and the load does not complete. I’ve tried several times with the same result. Any ideas?
Hi Rich,
Have you checked to see if your Firestick is overheating?
This is the most likely cause I can think of. (Link: https://www.kodifiretvstick.com/kodi-17-1-buffering/ )
If it’s warm to the touch, then you need to put a fan next to it. Otherwise it’ll get too hot before any decent-size downloads can complete (such as Titanium).
Also check your Firestick disk space.

If the above methods don’t work, then reset your Firestick to Factory Default settings.

(Or Reset FireStick / Fire TV to Factory Defaults, on the Fire TV remote press the following buttons: SELECT + RIGHT + BACK + REVERSE)
Hi Tina,
It sounds like you need to Reset Kodi. Here’s my YouTube tutorial video to show you how:

I’m having a problem with kodi. When I go through the normal addon steps, it gets to the point when I should download from zip file…instead it gives me a message unable to download from zip file.????
Hi Doug,
Aside from the update at the top, this article’s quite old. Much has changed with Kodi TV addons even in just the past couple of weeks. Check the KFire TV front page for lots of working repositories and TV addons that work right out of the box.
Is there a way updating my amazon firestick 16.1 to latest ver without losing my data or add ons. I got the jailbreak amazon firestick 16.1
thanks
Hi Joey!
You can do this with the update method shown in the latest install article. It’s taken care of by an official Kodi add-on that is super easy to use. Let me know how that works out for you! Enjoy!
Problem installing digging xenon
When I get to the fresh or standard install it gives me a digger wizard error check logs for error?
Help please!
Hi Jeni,
I can’t tell what the error would be without the log file, but you can check it pretty easily by using the recently written Error Log article. Good luck and please let us know what you find.
Hi Angela,
By the same problem, do you mean you are trying unsuccessfully to swipe on the original Firestick remote? Is it possible you are zoomed in on the Fire Stick and trying to access more of the screen? I ask because there are no swipe capabilities on the remote that comes with the Amazon Firestick, so I’m confused about the nature of your problem but would love to help.
