Amazon released a update to the Fire TV Stick that has stopped many previous Kodi install methods from working.
But not to worry as Kodi can still be installed after the update.

Next a App called ES File Explore needs to be installed to the Fire TV Stick.
This can be done in two ways. Log into your Amazon account from a computer and activate it to your Fire TV stick, or use the search option within the Fire Stick and install it.
