AtvDB v2.0 – 07/31/2019

This is an all-in-one tool, used to assist with ‘modding’ the Amazon FireTV and FireTV Stick.
I know that there are plenty of programs out there that do this same thing, and they’re probably even prettier than mine; I don’t care, I wanted to create my own.

AtvDB 2.0

– Connects to Amazon Fire TV device via local network (wired, or wifi – your computer MUST be on the same network as the AFTV)

— One-click install of Kodi (currently version 18.3)

VERY vague tutorial (if you do not understand what anything that I am saying means, please do not continue, and read-up! I’m not here to spoon-feed)
It looks like a lot, but I promise, it’s very simple, and doesn’t take more than 3 or 4 minutes to do!

– (On FireTV) Enable ADB Debugging
– (On FireTV) Enable Apps from Unknown Sources
– (Within AtvDB) Enter the FireTV’s IP address into the IP Address field and click Connect
– (Within AtvDB) Download Kodi
– (Within AtvDB) Install Kodi
– (Within AtvDB) Download Exodus
– (Within AtvDB) Copy Exodus
– (On FireTV) Run Kodi

Figure out the rest for yourself! 🙂
