How To Unlock Your Amazon Fire Stick?

• Install the Downloader app.
• Change Fire Stick settings to enable downloads (since downloads are restricted by default).
• Allow installation from third-party sources.
• Adjust the Privacy Preferences to disable Device Usage Data, Collect App Usage Data, and Data Monitoring.
• Install your chosen third-party app (like Kodi) to unlock new content. Kodi is a popular choice—when it was removed from the Amazon App Store in 2015, users began unlocking their Fire Sticks, and since then, many other apps have joined in.

Install the Downloader App on the Fire Stick

Your first step is to install the Downloader app. Here’s how:

2. Type Downloader and select the Downloader icon.

   

3. Click Download or Get, then install the Downloader app.
4. Open the Downloader app and dismiss any notifications or warnings, but allow the requested permissions. Don’t do anything else in the app until you complete the next steps.

Install Kodi or Another Third-Party App Using Downloader

Now, your Fire Stick is ready to be unlocked with a third-party app—Kodi is a popular choice. Here’s how:

2. Click Go and select ARMV7A (32 BIT) (or choose the version compatible with your device).
3. When the download finishes, open the Kodi APK file.

   

4. Select Install and wait while Kodi is installed.

   

5. When the installation is finished, launch Kodi and set it up as you like. Congratulations—your Fire Stick is now unlocked!
