In this guide, I will show you how to install Covenant on Kodi 18.9 Leia and older versions. The Addon is now available to install from the Covenant repo and cy4root. I have provided both links in the guide.
Exodus Kodi Addon reigned the world of Kodi add-ons for a great while. The demise of Exodus resulted in the emergence of loads of Exodus Forks. Out of all these forks, the one which stood out was Covenant. It was the true heir and successor of Exodus in many respects which made it the best Exodus alternative. First of all, both Exodus and Covenant had been developed by the same developer Lambda which sort of makes it an official fork. Covenant even sports the same UI as its predecessor.
Not only did Covenant fill up the shoes of Exodus, but it was also better than Exodus in a great many respects. It was far more stable and offered many more features. Lambda had even stopped updating Exodus which made Covenant the best alternative to Exodus.
Exodus was later resurrected and both these addons together worked well for quite some time. They are no longer as popular as they used to be, especially since the many new and better performing on-demand addons spawned. Yet, a lot of Kodi users are still looking for Covenant and Exodus. The good news is that both these addons have only been recently updated and are working great for now.
If you’ve installed Kodi on your FireStick or PC, then I would say Covenant is still a must-try addon.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Covenant on Kodi 18 Leia in some very easy to follow steps. Please note that you can similarly install any other video add-on/ or any other Kodi add-on as well.
How to Install Covenant on Kodi
We will use the Covenant repository to install Covenant addon on Kodi. Here are the steps:
Attention, Kodi Users!
Kodi Addons and builds offer unlimited streaming content, but could also get you into legal trouble if caught streaming free movies, TV shows, or sports. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. Kodi users are strongly advised to always connect to a VPN while streaming online. A good Kodi VPN hides your identity, bypasses government surveillance, geo-blocked content, and ISP throttling (which also helps in buffer-free streaming).
I personally use ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is very easy to install on any device including Amazon FireStick. You get 3 months free and save 49% on its annual plans. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied, you can always ask for a refund.

11. Now open package installer (the open-box icon on top-left as shown below).
12. Now Select open Install from Zip File.
13. Now locate and select Covenant (or any other source name you added earlier) and open repository.covenant-x.x.zip. The installation will begin. Wait for the repository to install
Note: If you used the alternate link https://cy4root2.github.io/zip then click the zip file repository.cy4root-master.zip
14. Now again go back to the main menu and click open Add-ons and then click open the package installer as done earlier. This time click open Install from Repository as shown in the image below.
15. Now select Covenant Repository and then select Video Add-ons.
Note: Choose cy4root Repository if you used the alternate link
16. Now just scroll down and find Covenant. Once you find it, click to open it.

Covenant Kodi Addon Not Working
Covenant Addon is not being updated anymore and If you are trying to get it from Colossus repo, it won’t work as this repo has been shut down. However, users can still install and use Covenant from Covenant repo as shown in the guide above. I keep testing and updating this article every few days. If you face any difficulties in installing it with this guide, please feel free to comment below.
Kodi Covenant Addon: No Streams Available
The most common problem faced by Kodi users is – “No Streams Available” for many popular Addons. Covenant is also plagued by these issues, but thankfully, there is a fix. You can get Real Debrid on Kodi which provides tons of additional streaming sources in full HD and your problem of No Streams Available will be gone forever. However, I would strongly recommend getting a Kodi VPN as Real Debrid keeps the log of all the data we access.

Covenant will not allow me to install. No matter what or where I try.
Hi Russell, Covenant is currently only available on Kodi 18.9 Leia and older versions. You may be using a newer version that does not support Covenant.
So I installed everything but it doesn’t have a run option? It’s blacked out. Can you help?
Hi Jaime, Covenant is an old addon and doesn’t really work that well. I would recommend using one of the newer addons from our list: https://www.firesticktricks.com/best-kodi-addons.html
Easy guide thank you, one thing though, I can’t manage finding the add-on itself, everything installed properly just not the add-on.
Hi Aviv, Covenant isn’t the most reliable add-on these days. You may try other addons from our list: https://www.firesticktricks.com/best-kodi-addons.html
Hi

Could someone help me please
Hi Jon, you may have run into a temporary issue. Please try again. If it still doesn’t work, you may try other addons from here: https://www.firesticktricks.com/best-kodi-addons.html
Hi guys, I, having a problem accessing movies. I have been using exodus redux for a long time without problem. Recently though the majority of movies don’t work (tv programs do work for the most part).
I load up a film I want to see, it brings up the various links I can use. When I click on the first one it will scroll to a valid link and then, as usual, the tiny little play symbol appears to signal the movie being about to start….then the screen flickers for a second and goes back to the links available.
I have the most up to date version of Exodus Redux so am wondering if I have done something to my settings to stop new movies from playing ?
I downloaded Covenant to see if that would be different but exactly the same thing happens.
It’s driving me crazy, please help !!
Hi Ricky, you may be experiencing a temporary issue. Try using the addon with Real Debrid. You will get high-quality, premium links. Here is our guide: https://www.firesticktricks.com/real-debrid-kodi.html
Hi Mark, I’m having the same issue.. how do we fix… Thank you
Hi Bukky, uninstall and reinstall Kodi and try to install the addon again. If it still doesn’t work, you may try one of the other working addons from our list: https://www.firesticktricks.com/best-kodi-addons.html
Hello —
cy4root choice “failed to install dependency”
Do you have a suggestion for how to fix this?
Thanks
Hi Stephen, it is working now. Please try again.
Easy as can be! Thanks for that.
Trying to install Real Debrib. Per your instructions on how to Set up and use Real-Debrid you say “If you don’t see URL Resolver, you will need to install Covenant Kodi Addon before performing this step”. I went to your instructions on How to install Covenant Kodi addon (The page i am currently on). I go step by step and install Covenant but when i go back to Kodi and select addons manage dependencies and scroll down all the way to bottom to find URLRESOLVER its not there ?
Hi Darell, which addon are you trying to use Real Debrid with? It looks like the addon users ResolveURL. You won’t need URL Resolver.
Covenant doesn’t install from zip file?
Hi Frieda, I have added an alternate link in the guide. Please try with that link.
I got to Step 16 but Covenant does does appear in the list of video add-ons.
Hi, I have updated the guide. Please reinstall the addon.
I can’t Tv shows to work no matter what add on it is all I see is .. can you help me I have reinstalled several times it has only been doing this recently…
Hi Cat, why don’t you try one of the addons from our updated list of Best Kodi Addons: https://www.firesticktricks.com/best-kodi-addons.html
Covenant isn’t doing that great these days
Thx so much
So this is also failing due to dependencies what do I do
Hey, Covenant is an old addon and hardly gets any updates. Why don’t you try other working addons from our list: https://www.firesticktricks.com/best-kodi-addons.html
Corona works well too
Hi Tommy, yes Corona is also a good addon
Is the link you provided still valid?
I have tried a few different ones to get Covenant but none of them seem to work.
Hi, yes the link is valid. I just installed Covenant from it. However, Covenant isn’t supported any longer and it may not function properly. You might want to look at other addons on our Best Kodi Addons List: https://www.firesticktricks.com/best-kodi-addons.html
Here are some of our recommendations:

hi there,could you tell me what http:// do i need to down or upload F.U.B.A.R AND icefilm ok,answer to [email protected] thank you.
Hi Gabriel, try the Kodil repo. You can download it from http://www.lvtvv.com/repo/
Found it! FYI…the small round icon with the tiny changing picture inside of it which WAS plaguing the right side of my screen has been identified! It was originating from my ES File Explorer File Manager under settings. It’s called a Logger floating widget which appears when a new file is created, now UNCHECKED. Sorry to bother you with it. Cheers & Happy 2019
Hi Tommy, I probably couldn’t have figured it was the Logger Floating Widget. Thanks for letting me know.
Making house calls sounds like a good marketable idea. But, we are just some regular FireStick and Kodi users sharing our experiences with you. We don’t have the logistics or resources for such venture.
Happy 2019 to you too and feel free to get back to us if you have any further questions.
Hey I’m new to this whole thing I followed your steps.. say when I’ve found a movie I want to watch in covenenant, how do I know which site to use because there are hundreds of streaming platforms you can download and watch from.
Hi Devin, if I am correct, you are referring to the streaming links the movies fetch when you click them. You can start with any link and if you don’t like it (or if it doesn’t stream), you can always try another.
Thanks for the personal reply, I didn’t expect it. Yes, it’s still there. It’s about a finger length in diameter with a picture inside that changes periodically. The pic is too small to discern but at times resembles a notebook tablet. It doesn’t appear when I watch network TV, only Fire. Thanks for your concern.
BTW, have you or your team ever thought about making house calls for those totally inept Fire users? I’m not there yet but I’m sure there’s a market for it. Cheers
Fantastic site. I admire the time, knowledge, and skill it takes for you to build and maintain it. I have followed your instructions to the letter but still I have a few issues……1) Covenant displays but the scrapers find nothing, No Stream Available. 2) Placenta displays, scrapers find nothing, No Stream Available. The No Stream fix as you instructed worked for Exodus but Placenta and Covenant don’t have that setting.
3) Exodus…Add-on settings, Providers, Open Lamdascrapers Settings…Left side: I downloaded “Module” as you suggested, it downloaded, but where did it go? It is still missing from settings page but coincidently a very small round changing picture has appeared right side middle of my screen, kinda like an icon. Is this a notification of something possibly a download wanting to be installed? Again, I admire your talent and patience. I have many questions to ask about FireTV, I hope you don’t mind my asking. Tommy
Hi Tommy, I am glad you reached out to us with your questions. Please feel free to ask as many questions as you like. And, thank you for your appreciation.
There has been an ongoing issue with some addons not finding any streams including Placenta and Covenant. Looks like the problem is at the developer’s end. There isn’t a great deal we can do about it. Yes, Placenta and Covenant do not have the same fix as Exodus Redux. But note that Covenant is still helpful for fixing any dependencies error you might get while installing other addons.
Lambda Scrapers Module installs as a separate addon. You won’t find it in Settings. You can find it in Programs add-ons section (Kodi home-screen > Add-ons > Program add-ons). Honestly, I am not quite sure about the ‘small round changing picture’ you mentioned. I just installed the module myself and I don’t see it here. Is it still there?
could not load covenant after 3 resets of the fire stick and kodi,real debird did not come up the way your showing in fact it didn’t come up at all. thanks any way
Hey, you can’t really expect much from an outdated addon which is not getting any updates these days. Check out my this guide and try my recommended Kodi Addons – https://www.firesticktricks.com/jailbreak-fire-stick.html
When I go to the stop to install from zip file, nothing is there. Should I try the alternate link?
Hi Kate, yes it is available with the alternate link now. Just know that Covenant is not being updated anymore, so you may not get many high-quality streams. Instead you can try Exodus Redux which is working quite good at the moment – https://www.firesticktricks.com/exodus-redux.html
link not workjng 🙁
Hey Igrice, try the alternate link we have provided in the guide is working fine
I’m having the same problem….I don’t see covenant anywhere
Hey Presley, I again reinstalled Covenant just now. I used the alternate source URL as instructed in this tutorial. Install Kodil repository from this source and you will find Covenant addon in it.
I got all the way to Step 12 and Covenant doesn’t show in the list. It goes from ‘couch potato’ to ‘crackle’. How do I get Covenant in the menu?
Hey Debbie, I just reinstalled the Kodil repo from the alternate source link as instructed in this guide. I accessed the Kodil repo and Covenant is between Cool Movie Zone and Crackler addons. Please try again.
The link http ://kdil.co/repo/ does not work. Cannot open tge link on browser too.
Hi Mayur,
It appears to be a temporary issue with the repo. However, I have added an alternate link for Kodil repo in the article. You can use that.
It stopped streaming anything at all 2 weeks ago until I installed a VPN. Now working fine. I thought there is issue with the addon but later my friend suggested that VPN will help in unblocking it. Is there any way to do it without using a VPN?
