Sideloaded Kodi but wont launch

Hi Peeps,
Being the proud new owner of an AFTV, I decided to install Kodi on my shiny new device.
now I manage to sideload kodi 15.1, adbfire shows success...!!!
When I launch kodi, I am even getting the splashcreen saying "preparing for first run please wait...."
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As soon as "starting Kodi" appears I am back to my settings menu.
I thought it might be the version of Isengard (I d/loaded the ARM version) of 15.1 and even 15.0 but still having the same issue.
Any thought on this at all
Thanks !!

**BUMP**

Bumping is a no no on xda, especially on a day old thread.

Check how much storage space is available on your device. This is a common occurrence if the device's storage is full. You may need to delete the thumbnail folders in Kodi and/or the temp files (if you're using zero cache).

I have the same problem, its there when i try to launch application but just screen flicks and returns to the launch screen again. Also happens with tvmc even tried loading them on with agkfire from android tablet aswell as abdfire. Im totally stuck and cant find anything on the net to solve it. Fire box as new yesterday and has 4.7gb free space. How do I delete the thumbnail folders/temp files? Any help appreciated!

Thomson TCL 65UB6406 LOOP START

Hello colleagues from Spain You will see, I have a TV thomson TCL model 65UB6406 the data that the tv has are: 40-NT67AU-MAC4H6 main board white label: T8-65E59CI-MA1 V8-NT67F01-LF1V489 the problem you have, turn on, the THOMSON logo appears, a few moments of backlighting and it does the same again, in a loop. I have tried to put by USB in 2.0, giving the power of the tv button and put the update that appears on the manufacturer's website [V8-NT67F01-LF1V509_IMG_USB] and it tells me on the screen that the file is not the right one . It is true that the white sticker says LF1V489 and the manufacturer has given me the LF1V509 Can you give me an alternative? Thank you

Did you unzip V8-NT67F01-LF1V509_IMG_USB.zip file , till "Update.img" file to be copy to USB ?

effectively on the USB formatted in FAT32, just leave the file (update.img) and I took it from inside the folder ..
I am using a 16GB pendrive.

Try different USB....

or maybe PKG file ...

I have tried with the 509, and it told me a message on the screen, (invalid file), I have tried with the 498, and the same message, I have put the 410 pkg and it has finished, it gives me a message that the installation has been successful , but then it started up, it put the Thomson logo 2 times in small, then 2 times a little bigger, and then an image full of stripes, and the remote did not work, I tried to put the 498, and although on the screen it did not There was information, the led looked like it was updating ... after finishing now no type of message comes out, not even entering 410 or 498, only backlighting appears on the screen ...

40-NT67AU-MAC4HG with firmware V8-NT67F02-LF1V483.....
So, maybe try with F02 firmwares......

http://celesw.tcl.com/EU_Test/SoftWare/V8-NT67F02-LF1V509_IMG_USB.zip

I have tried to put the files, and although I do not get any message on the screen, the led flashes like it is updating, it ends but I still only have backlighting without any video .. I have put those of NT67F01 like those of NT67F02 and same result.

Is either USB or wrong firmware.
Do you have any portable HDD ?
Hard to tell, as you don't know actual firmware installed.
Time to contact TCL service.

I have tried with several USB devices and the fact is that the tv ends up recognizing the device and performs the update, since it blinks as if it were updating and then remains in standby. hard disk for what am I going to test, if with USB if update?

[Q] Best approach with FireTV Stick 2 (Tank)

Hello.
I've never been up to date with modifications of all the FireTV Sticks, but recently found here some threads and bad things that OS updates bring/block and I'd like to ask for advice.
My device is as on the screenshot, OS version 5.2.8.4 and with an information in settings, that the update has been downloaded and to be installed when device idle. I disconnected it from power source and seek what are my options and what You'd do to make the best out of this Stick.

This is awesome, but is there anything for FireTV Stick II ?
https://www.reddit.com/r/fireTV/comments/kl1y7z
Would this LeanBack and TVLaunchX work or should I go for WolfLanucher/LauncherManager?
1. I'd like to install a launcher (Wolf?) to speed things up. Is this possible with this OS or should I downgrade?
2. can I still disable OTA updates and stay on this OS version, or should I downgrade?
3. I dont use voice input, don't mind rooting
4. I mainly use the Stick with Kodi
5. I bought a OTG 3xUSB cable and it would be awesome if I could connect a 200GB HDD 2,5" but it doesnt work both because insufficient power supply (doesnt boot when connected) and I read that it needs to be FAT32 formatted. Can I somehow bypass that FAT32?
6. doesn't matter if FAT32 or NTFS, can I somehow share this HDD connected to FireTV via my Wi-Fi, to upload media from my PC to that hard disk?
If you have knowledge about any single thing above, pls share your thoughts or links. Thanks!

2. Exact moment with solution plus website. Also a solution, if the update has been downloaded and awaits install
https://www.techdoctoruk.com/block-updates-on-amazon-devices-new-method/
5. This gut explains it. At least 2A power supply and FAT32 is a must
https://www.reddit.com/r/firetvstick/comments/bimiwc/_/enbxqgu
6. Usefull info here. Running samba share only on rooted ROM as it requieres blocked ports. Migrating files should be easy with a FTP server that can be easly started with EsFileExplorer
https://www.reddit.com/r/fireTV/comments/4jjyi4
The file size limit of 4GB really bothers me with FAT32. I'll look for other solution but I'm against running my PC as a server. Will look if my router can handle file sharing
