So you have an Amazon Fire Stick but still want a more customizable layout and access to hundreds of free streaming apps? Don't we all. Transforming your Amazon Fire TV or Fire Stick into a multimedia monster doesn't have to be complicated or difficult, so lets make it real easy for you. Here is our tutorial on how to jailbreak an Amazon Firestick and install Kodi without rooting or side loading.

This method does not require a computer to jailbreak the Amazon Fire TV Stick. You can use your computer to install Kodi on a Fire Stick by side-loading the app.

Disclaimer: A Kodi build on a Amazon Fire Stick can give you access to tons of legal content but also to illegal live TV and movie streams. CTK does not condone or promote illegal actions, so, hey, just be responsible and whatnot. If you get into the illegal content, fry your products, quit your job from an HBO addiction, that's on you.

Now this should be relatively painless process but if you have hiccups or questions feel free to hit us up on twitter.
