Hi everybody, I am new here but have been setting up kodi for about 2 years. I have even set up a ubuntu version on a usb flash drive that worked pretty well... lol for the most part. I am trying to upgrade Kodi on a media box call "sidekick" . I am doing this for an older lady who is very sweet and may have been duped into buying this box. she has had issues from day one with it. Short version its not running as it should (shuts down on its own randomly) I think i need to flash the firmware or even upgrade to something. The little information i have gathered on this box is. 1g ram, 4x cpu Cortex-A9, 8x GPU Mali-450. running lollipop 5.0. I can find a web site for Sidekick. It has some youtube videos but the file they want me to download from dropbox is not an .apk file. When I download it it shows as a bin fine and is useless to me. I have requested help from there support but I would love knowledge from more then one source. I believe I am correct in the fact that kodi 17.xx will not run on lollipop 5.0. I also believe i need to run the firestick version of magic No Limits as its meant for 1g ram devices.
okay, so i think the questions i need help with are in that paragraph. I should point out I understand how to flash. usb cable, computer, usb burning tool. and a firmware file form somewhere. Preferably matching the box i haves" components.
thanks in advance for your help. It is greatly appreciated
also i am more then willing to provide more info. if need be. I am really unsure what else is needed.
