Anyone got any helpful tips to Sideloading Kayo on a firestick 4k Max?

Edit: Thanks to those who helped out. Really appreciate it

Here is what worked for me using an adroid phone:
- Download the most recent 'KayoSports' APK file on mega.nz website (thanks to @Whatisthatvelvet for the link)
- Download 'Easy Fire Tools' on your Android device via the Play Store and follow the steps for the Android device on firesticktricks website
- Once linked and set up you should be able to link the APK files from the 'Easy Fire Tools' app to your FireStick. Many loaded apks on your Android device should link to your firestick without having to use a custom apk but Kayo didn't open for me.

    I have it working fine on my Firestick 4K Max, did you download the right apk that is suitable for the CPU of the firestick? I believe the Android TV version will not work. Try this site: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/streamotion-pty-ltd/kayo-sport….

    • ozbs25 on 02/06/2022 - 20:04

      Could you get a working icon? Mine is just the broken grey one.

      • vinny98 on 02/06/2022 - 20:07

        no icon on mine either

        • ozbs25 on 02/06/2022 - 20:08

          Fixing it seems long and complicated. Unless I sideload more apps I guess I can put up with it.

          • vinny98 on 02/06/2022 - 20:08

            @ozbs25: Yeah to me it isn't worth it, it is the only sideloaded app I have installed.

    • Damannation on 06/06/2022 - 10:42

      1st time I tried through that link it was saying not supported. Turned it off and on and it downloaded and 'installed' though when going to apps there is a grey icon (I've seen that seems normal) with no caption. When opening it, it seems to try to open then immediately closes with no warning or info. Seems I'm having a bit of bad luck with it.

        Maybe try a full factory reset and see if that helps.

        • Damannation on 06/06/2022 - 17:30

          I'll give it a crack. Cheers for the help mate.

        I had that problem then tried getting the apk from a different site and it worked. Not sure what was wrong. Maybe bad download, wrong version? Can't remember which site I went to first but then went to apkgk and it worked.

        • Damannation on 06/06/2022 - 22:31

          I haven't tried your link just yet. I'll have to give it a go. I have chromecast as well so after giving up just been using that.

    I got it working getting the apk from here:

    https://apkgk.com/au.com.kayosports

    Just warning you though, while it does work, I don't know if I sideloaded Russian/Chinese spyware/backdoors to go with it. I don't know anything about sideloading apks. You may not get the latest version although it says version 1.3.15. You may just get 1.3.14. It was a little weird for me. I think I got both versions, one on one firestick, one on the other. I couldn't get a working icon on the firestick either. It's one of those broken grey ones.

    I used this by stojo and works well. Comes with icon too

    • Damannation on 16/06/2022 - 17:23

      Thanks, it downloaded and opened fine but wanted to update to use it so wouldn't work :( here I was thinking it would be a 5min job.

        Yeah mine did the same thing yesterday. So I just grabbed the latest Kayo apk from the mega link below. No Homescreen icon though.

        • Damannation on 16/06/2022 - 17:42

          Awesome, I'll give it a crack when I get home. Cheers!

        • Damannation on 30/06/2022 - 12:19

          @Whatisthatvelvet thanks for the link. I tried doing it on the firestick through the downloader app using a bitly link but the site wouldn't let me scroll to download the Apk on the firestick. Ended up using this Android app 'Easy Fire Tools' which I found in this article which I connected via WiFi and you can pick and choose apps from your device or download a APK in your browser and link it via the app. You are probably more tech savvy than me but it think the app will be handy for future updates if wanting to avoid doing it directly through the firestick or PC.

  • BlitzR on 02/07/2022 - 21:25

    Thanks for this guide!

    • Damannation on 02/07/2022 - 21:27

      No problem, I had a lot of trouble trying to find something that worked. Not sure if the 4k max is harder than others but seems like it might have been made a little more restricted.

      • BlitzR on 02/07/2022 - 23:11

        It worked like a charm on my fire cube

  • Crazy Diamond on 04/07/2022 - 18:51

    A bit late to the thread, but after unsuccessfully trying some side loading, I ended up just using the Silk browser (comes up as simply "internet" on some Firesticks), went to the kayo www page, and bookmarked mykayo once logged in. A bit tedious to for first login but after that, worked well for me. The third answer in this link explains all steps https://au.amazonforum.com/s/question/0D54P00008D6SJwSAN/can…

    I have put on quite a few fire sticks
    Get the downloader app from appstore allow any permissoons.
    In the url file type in 751883 and press go .
    When it says something about unknown sources follow the instructions and allow it and come back to downloader and install the kayo app .and it works perfectly normal

      • Emerald on 14/07/2022 - 15:59

        Thanks for this, mate. Appreciate it. Can I ask where you got that code? Wouldn't mind installing some other apps too.

          https://go.aftvnews.com/ is the URL shortener that works for the Downloader app on Amazon Fire TV and Google Android TV devices.

          • Guppy0 on 17/07/2022 - 23:06

            @uzz30: Thanks uzz30 - what url do you use in the shortened for Kayo? I used the Kayosports and got the website
            Thanks

  • Duece1995 on 25/07/2022 - 23:51

    I downloaded the Kayo app using above code. Anyone know why the app is not showing the usual Kayo skin on the app store? Shows as blank.

    336298 give that one a go… Kayo 1.3.17. Should have a kayo skin. Let me know if it works

    • leyton01 on 28/08/2022 - 22:11

      Thanks. This worked for me!

  • Duece1995 on 01/08/2022 - 22:10

    Thanks. I tried using that code and it wasn't compatible with my version. I downloaded it straight from the Kayo apk for android using 406940. It updated the app to 1.3.17 however still no skin.

  • kfp187 on 02/08/2022 - 08:33

    What version of Firestick are you running?

    Anyone had any luck with the latest KAYO SPORTS update and a new apk for Firestick? I can't seem to get it to work…

    • smifter on 12/02/2023 - 17:41

      Kayo is now showing 2.0.0 and the above links to that apk now. However, it doesn't appear to work on my Firestick TV.

      • chriscav on 14/02/2023 - 22:29

        Same issue here, can’t get the new update version to open on Firestick 4K

        • anilpnair on 19/02/2023 - 22:18

          I had the same issue. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled and it worked like a charm 😉

          P.S: I downloaded the apk from apkmirror

  • ssd01 on 28/02/2023 - 10:44

    Kayo said they no longer support FS. I have opened a ticket with them and sent a screenshot of the error messages I'm getting. After a while, Kayo stopped working with an error message saying this device was not supported.

    • Emerald on 03/03/2023 - 19:06

      I just now utilised the information in the comment above yours and I'm watching Sydney vs Carlton on my FS 4K max as I type this.

      • ssd01 on 03/03/2023 - 21:13

        Which version do you have? I just noticed they released 2.0.1
        Mine is 2.0.0

        • Emerald on 03/03/2023 - 21:43

          The link above is 2.0.1.

  • ssd01 on 03/03/2023 - 21:07

    Mine works for a while and crashes,, it says this device is not supported.. sometimes it goes for a couple of hours some time it only takes 10 to 15 min.

  • Bailey01 on 08/03/2023 - 20:18

    Anyone know how to get the latest version of kayo on fire stick 4K max? Mine stopped working today as says new upgrade needed.. I have 2.01 versions. Need a link for 2.02

    In case anyone else comes across this: using the Kayo website through the Amazon Internet app works really, really well.

    406940 also works, updated this morning.

    • Damannation on 07/07/2023 - 13:03

      There is actually a Kayo app for the firestick now so no need to sideload :)

  • Maxi Pad on 11/05/2024 - 14:55

    Kayo is now on the FireTV App Store… Bt I'm wondering if side loading the android TV version would enable 4k.

    I can't see any reason at all why 4k isn't enabled.

    • Maxi Pad on 11/05/2024 - 16:59

      Tested and working perfectly. Perfect 4k simply by side loading a different apk, and yet 'my device is not supported'.

      • bayleyb on 18/05/2024 - 22:12

        You're a legend. Got this working now too!

  • Duece1995 on 18/05/2024 - 23:54

    Care to share which kayo app you sideloades

    • Maxi Pad on 27/05/2024 - 20:23

      I used the 2.2.1 APK that I was able to download online. It appeared to be from the Hubble Box.

      Unfortunately it seems that Kayo clued on, and now 'force an upgrade' (downgrade) to the app on the Amazon App Store.

      Scumbags. This is actually anti-competitive behaviour - intended to sell more Hubbl boxes.

  • zootv on 22/06/2024 - 14:48

    2.3.2 now requires an update, but can’t install 2.3.4. Anyone found a way?

    • bayleyb on 23/06/2024 - 18:25

      Same issue here, I can get it to install but it throws a google play error.

      • zootv on 23/06/2024 - 20:35

        How do you install? I can't even get that far after downloading from APKpure via 'Downloader' app

        • bayleyb on 23/06/2024 - 20:43
          +1

          Download via the downloader app, then install using "XAPKS" on the store. Just find the "downloads" directory and you should be able to install it.

    • Shekster on 04/07/2024 - 22:19

      Also hoping someone has found a way.

      Have tried using an xapk installer on my vodafone tv and it does install successfully, however when opening the app it gets to the first splash screen (the grey screen with grey images of different balls etc in the background) but doesn't progress any further.

  • Duece1995 on 23/06/2024 - 22:22

    Can't you just use the Kayo app?

    • bayleyb on 28/06/2024 - 20:18

      It doesn't support 4K streaming
