OK, download ADBlink from here :
h**p://jocala.com/
Install it on your computer.
Download and save on your computer the Android apk install ARM – x86 from here :
h**ps://kodi.tv/download/
It appears that if you are using Internet Explorer the file downloads as a.zip file, but if you are using a different browser it downloads correctly as the .apk file.
If you are using Internet Explorer you need to change the extension from .zip to .apk
On your Firestick you need to find its IP address and set the developer options to ADB debugging ON and Apps from Unknown to ON
Run adblink and click on New and enter any name you like in the description and the IP address of your fire TV stick in the address, leave everything else as it is and then click on Save.
Then click on Connect and you should see the IP address in the connected device window with :5555 behind your stick's IP address and the Status window should say Device.
Then click on Install APK and when the window opens browse to where you saved the Kodi .apk to, then click on Open and click on Yes when it asks if you want to install it in the next window.
You will see a green bar running along the bottom right hand side of the adblink window, it may run through a few times so do not do anything until it finishes and a window opens that will say done.
You can then close that window and click on Stop ADB and then Disconnect.
Kodi is now installed on your stick so set it up as you want with the addons, skins and anything else you want.
The following is to help that same guy back up his Firestick so he could clone his Firestick on to several more for his friends and family.
Then run the adblink program again and click on Connect and then on Backup, click on /sdcard/ in the window that opens and select a folder where you want to save your backup to and click on OK.
It will take a few minutes and again will say Done when finished. As before close that window, click on Stop ADB then on Disconnect but leave the program open.
Power off your stick and place one of the new ones in its place, set the Developer options again as before and find and take note of the IP address, it will probably be a different one.
If it is go to adblink and click on Edit and change the IP address to the new one and click on Save, if it gives it the same as the previous stick you can leave it as it is.
Click on Connect then click on Restore and browse for the folder where you saved the previous back up to and click on select folder and then click on Yes when it asks if you want to overwrite.
Again wait until it says Done then click OK and Stop ADB and then Disconnect.
Check everything is working OK on that stick, it should be and repeat the process for the remaining sticks.
It sounds more complicated than it really is and once you have cloned the first one the others will get done in no time.
