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 over 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 that stood out was Covenant. It was the true heir and successor of Exodus in many respects, making it the best alternative to Exodus. First of all, both Exodus and Covenant were developed by the same developer, Lambda, which makes them official forks. 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, making Covenant the best alternative.
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 many new and better-performing on-demand addons have spawned. Yet, many Kodi users are still searching for Covenant and Exodus. The good news is that both of these add-ons have 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 the Covenant addon on Kodi. Here are the steps:
Attention Kodi Users!
Governments and ISPs across the world monitor your online activities. If you use third-party Kodi addons, you should always use a good Kodi VPN and hide your identity so your streaming experience doesn’t take a bad turn. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.
I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick, PC, Mac, and Smartphones. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

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 on Add-ons, and then click on the package installer as done earlier. This time, click on Install from Repository as shown in the image below.

Covenant Kodi Addon Not Working
The Covenant Addon is no longer being updated, and if you attempt to retrieve it from the Colossus repo, it won’t work, as this repo has been shut down. However, users can still install and use Covenant from the Covenant repo as shown in the guide above. I continually test and update this article on a regular basis, typically 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 the “No Streams Available” error for many popular Add-Ons. Covenant is also plagued by these issues, but thankfully, there is a fix. You can get Real Debrid on Kodi, which provides numerous additional streaming sources in full HD, and your ‘No Streams Available’ problem will be resolved forever. However, I would strongly recommend getting a Kodi VPN, as Real Debrid keeps a log of all the data we access.

Covenant will not allow me to install. No matter what or where I try.

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 !!
