Click this link http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/android/arm/old/kodi-16.1-Jarvis-armeabi-v7a.apk
when it's done downloading put it on an sd card, put the sd card in your box and use the app installer app to install it.

Is install via USB an option, as I don't have an SD card?

And also I plan just to keep a back up of the factory file, is the factory file only installed via SD?  There's a comment post on the 1900 factory file, a guy used a usb and unfortunately he resolved it using it but didn't share how he did it.

Ya you should be able to use a USB and the same method I described above.
I haven't tried the factory file with a USB on this box because my old box would only see the sd card in the recovery screen so I've just always used an sd card.

Here's another question, should I be able to download Kodi 16.1 directly on mygica's browser and go to downloads folder via file manager and install it?

I've never tried that. But give it a whirl and let me know if it works.

btw, is that a 32-bit or 64-bit? Have no idea which one to use on 1900 with ARM processor.

32 bit. the box is 64 bit but I was informed that the android OS is 32 bit so it won't recognize the 64 bit kodi

Thanks for the download link. Actually I went to kodi site and to older version but wasn't able to find 16.1

Why not? It's the same link as bkwashby gave in the second post in this thread.

kodi.tv/android guy half way down page 1/older posts (half way down that page)/arm/old/16.1 etc...

Not sure about the 32/64 bit question. It's an arm download, not windows...

wjw, found it! thanks.

And thanks as well to bkwashby.

I was able to reinstall kodi 16.1 yesterday, but I just did it via usb as you had done.  Just don't want the install file on the download folder of the insternal storage of this 1900 PRO.

Sorry but not sure what you mean by this?

If you go to Kodi.tv (the only place to get the official 16.1) it stays as a download from the website.

Okay. I was thinking the download file will reside on mygica's download folder and it will run it from there.
