Kodi is a popular open-source media center that allows you to access tons of free movies, TV shows, live sports, and more on devices like the Firestick, Fire TV, and Android TV boxes. While Kodi itself is just the platform, you can supercharge it with third-party addons and builds that provide the actual streaming content.
One of the most popular Kodi builds right now is Underverse. With its user-friendly interface, wide selection of addons, and constant updates, it‘s easy to see why Underverse is a favorite among Kodi users. In this guide, I‘ll show you how to install Underverse on Firestick, Fire TV, Android TV and more.
Overview of Underverse Kodi Build
Before we get into the installation process, let‘s discuss what exactly Underverse is and what it offers.
Underverse is a Kodi build maintained by the LostKodi team. It packages together some of the best video and music addons like The Crew, Fen, Ezra, and more into an easy-to-navigate interface.
Some of the key features of Underverse include:

Is Underverse Kodi Build Legal and Safe to Use?
Now before installing third-party builds like Underverse, it‘s natural to have concerns around legality and safety. Here is a quick rundown:
-
The Underverse Kodi build itself is 100% legal to download and install. It does not contain any illegal content.
-
However, some of the addons accessible via Underverse may provide links to pirated content. Accessing these links would be illegal.
-
I scanned the Underverse repository URL on VirusTotal and it came back clean without any malware. However, you should still take precautions like using a VPN while streaming.
-
To use Underverse safely and legally, only stream free, public domain content or media you own the rights to. Avoid any pirated copyrighted content.
In summary, the Underverse build is safe to install, but take care with what content you stream through it. A good VPN like Surfshark is highly recommended to keep your streaming activity private.
Now let‘s get into how to install Underverse on your device!
How to Install Underverse Kodi Build
The process to install Underverse is the same whether you are using a Firestick, Fire TV, or Android TV box. Follow these steps:
1. Reset Kodi to Default Settings
It‘s generally a good idea to reset Kodi to a fresh state before installing any new build:
-
On Firestick/Fire TV: Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications > Kodi > Clear Data
-
On Android: Go to Settings > Apps > Kodi > Storage > Clear Data
-
On Windows: Open Kodi > Go to Settings > System > Reset Kodi to Default Settings
This clears out any old data and gives you a clean slate.
2. Enable Unknown Sources
Since Underverse isn‘t in the official Kodi repository, you need to enable installation from unknown sources:
-
Open Kodi and go to Settings > System > Add-ons
-
Enable "Unknown Sources"
-
Click Yes on the warning popup
This allows you to install third-party addons and builds.
3. Add the Underverse Repository
Now you need to add the repository that hosts Underverse:

Go to Settings > File Manager > Add Source
-
Enter the following URL: http://www.lostkodi.appboxes.co/

Enter a name like "LostKodi" and click OK
This adds the repository from where you‘ll install Underverse.

-
Go back to the Kodi home screen and open Add-ons > Install from zip file

You‘ll get a notification when it‘s installed. Click Continue to dismiss.

5. Launch the LostKodi Wizard
Bring up the wizard to start installing Underverse:
-
From the Kodi home screen, open Add-ons > Program addons
-
Launch the "Lost Builds Wizard" addon
-

You are now ready to install Underverse itself.
6. Install Underverse from the Wizard

Choose the "Underverse" build

Select the latest version (v3.5 at time of writing)
-
Click on "Fresh Install"
-
Click Continue to confirm
This will start downloading and installing Underverse. Be patient as it may take a few minutes.
7. Reopen Kodi
Once the installation completes, you‘ll get a popup saying it‘s done.
Exit Kodi completely and reopen it from your device‘s home screen. Underverse will launch with all its dependencies and addons set up.
