Can you open your browser if so go to https://kodi.tv/download scroll down and click on the android man then on the "release"line click on "ARMV7A(32bit)" wait for it to download to the appinstaller and install V17.4 krypton from there,follow the prompts.I could never get on with the play store.and the direct download works a treat.

Hi

Can you tell us if you tried to factory reset your device and see if that will fix the issue?

i followed your instruction and it took me to the stage where i came stuck previously [ uninstall play store updates message ]


8bitdev
i have not tried a factory reset as i am concerned that i will lose my important apps.
if i could find the 'uninstall playstore updates' location it would be ok.........this is what the message is asking me to do in order to be able to open the kodi installation.

Hi, To uninstall updates from the play store try getting to your apps this way > settings > more settings > apps > play store > then you should be able to uninstall updates.

Hi

Usually downloading apps from google play store takes a few minutes.If reference was made for Kodi add ons,take a note that you can create a backup which you can load on device later.In that case you are safe to perform the factory reset and keep the configuration files for later use.
