Updating Kodi On Amazon Stick

[BEN.KING]

Hi, I've been trying to update the version of Kodi on my Amazon Fire Stick to the latest version, 17.1. I've looked at a few youtube videos and other websites on how to do it but I'm still having no joy. All the videos I have seen are telling me I need to download an app from the Amazon store called "Downloader". When I tried doing this, I clicked on the downloader icon, and the screen went black. Nothing. Zilch. So I tried another way, by downloading another app called ES File Explorer. I clicked on this app, and the exact same thing happened. Is there another way of doing this, or is my amazon stick defunct? The Kodi version I have now is 16.1, so most things still work, but I know I will need to update soon. Thanks in advance.

go into the stick setting and default back to factory settings, then try again wit the downloader app that you will have to reinstall, and make sure you go into developer options in settings, and apps from unknown sources is on or allowed.

Sorry, the downloader app wasn't installed in the first place, thats the problem. When I clicked on it to install it, the screen went black. The apps from unknown sources is setting is allowed.
