FireTV revisited

I've been asked about this a lot lately so, I thought I'd do a quick write-up.  The Amazon FireTV is one of/if not the best streaming devices for the money.  It has incredible specs, a great interface, & is pretty incredible overall.  Without further ado, here's the process for side-loading Kodi and its add-ons.

**Update: This method is for older FireTV units!  There is a much easier method using EXFileExplorer!  I'll tack it on to the end.

Step 1: Head over to ustvnow.com and get a free account.  We'll need this later.
Step 2: Connect up you FireTV and go through the initial setup.
Step 3: Download ADBFire 1.x (not 2.x) from here, extract it, and start it.
Note: If you have issues with llama later on you'll need to grab 2.x and skip the llama section; instead you'll use fire starter.
Step 4: Download the llama APK and Kodi APK for ARM.
Step 5: In the FireTV's system menu go to developer options and turn on both (ADB & enable unsigned applications)
Step 6: Head back to About, then Network and note the IP Address.
Step 7: Go back to ADBFire and create a new connection using the IP noted and give it a name, then save it.
Step 8: It should connect automatically, if not hit connect.  You'll see it's connected in the status.
Step 9: Next, click install APK, install llama and then Kodi.
Step 10: On the FireTV, search for and install Ikono.  It's a pink icon.
Step 11: In the ADBFire window click llama options.  Then check the change icon option.  Also, check the replace Ikono with Media Center.  Click ok.
Step 12: In the FireTV menu go to applications, then manage applications and choose llama.
Step 13: Acknowledge the messages and go to the left.  Then go down to the lower right icon.  Choose import/export, next choose from USB.  Llama will exit automatically.  Hit the home key.  You'll notice that the Ikono icon is now Kodi.  Go ahead and start it.
Step 13: Go all the way to the right and under System choose File Manager.  In the right pane choose add source.  In the top block enter http://fusion.tvaddons.ag.  In the bottom block enter Fusion and choose ok.  Back out and choose Settings.
Step 14: Choose Add-ons and then install from zip file.  Next, go to fusion then, start-here.  Install all 3 of these.  Back out to the main menu.
Step 15: Go to programs, then Program Add-ons, and finally Configure Wizard.  Choose Amazon fire from the menu and install.  After it completes you'll have a ton of add-ons and a new look!

Note: If you don't get the exodus addon: follow this guide: http://koditips.com/exodus-kodi-add-on-from-lambda-exodus-kodi-install-guide/

Step 16: head over to http://www.trakt.tv and get yourself an account and add a few shows.  This sit is what most modern streaming addons use for favorites/playlists.  Each addon's settings option will give you instructions on how to activate trakt for it.
