How to Install WalisTV on Fire TV Stick

Last updated: · By the WalisTV Support Team

The Amazon Fire TV Stick is one of the most popular streaming devices in the world, and WalisTV runs on it very well. WalisTV is not in the Amazon Appstore, but you can install it in about five minutes with the free Downloader app and the code 7254182. This guide works for the Fire TV Stick (Lite, 4K and 4K Max), the Cube and the smart TVs running Fire OS.

Check your Fire TV first

Most Fire TV devices run Fire OS, which is based on Android, so they can install WalisTV. Some newer models run Amazon’s new Vega OS (for example the Fire TV Stick 4K Select released in 2025). Vega OS cannot install Android apps from outside the Appstore, so WalisTV cannot be installed on those models.

To check: open Settings > My Fire TV > About and look at the software version. If it says Fire OS, you can continue.

Step 1: Install Downloader

  1. On the home screen, select Find (the magnifying glass), then Search.
  2. Type Downloader and select the app by AFTVnews (orange icon).
  3. Select Get or Download.

Downloader is a free app in the Amazon Appstore. It lets you download files by typing a short code instead of a long web address.

Step 2: Turn on Developer Options

On recent software, Developer Options are hidden. Turn them on once:

  1. Open Settings > My Fire TV > About.
  2. Highlight the first line (your device name, for example Fire TV Stick 4K).
  3. Press the select (OK) button 7 times.
  4. A message confirms that you are now a developer.

Go back one step: Developer Options now appears in My Fire TV.

Step 3: Allow Downloader to install apps

  1. Open Settings > My Fire TV > Developer Options.
  2. Select Install unknown apps (on older models: Apps from Unknown Sources).
  3. Turn Downloader to ON.

You can turn it off again after installing WalisTV.

Step 4: Download WalisTV with the code 7254182

  1. Open Downloader. Allow access to files if it asks, and close the welcome messages.
  2. Select the address box, type 7254182 and select Go.
  3. The download starts. When it is finished, select Install.
  4. Select Done. When Downloader asks, select Delete twice to remove the installation file and save space.

The code points to the official WalisTV download on walistv.com. More about Downloader: install WalisTV with Downloader.

Step 5: Find and open WalisTV

Press and hold the Home button, then select Apps. WalisTV is at the end of the list. To move it to the front, highlight it, press the Menu button (three lines) and choose Move to front.

Step 6: Connect and add your playlist

When you open WalisTV for the first time, it shows a QR code and your Device ID. Scan the QR code with your phone, select Check Device, then add your playlist. Your TV opens it automatically. Step by step: connect your TV with a QR code.

Using WalisTV with the Fire TV remote

  • Navigation ring: move between menus, categories and channels.
  • Select (center button): open or play.
  • Back: hide the controls, then leave fullscreen.
  • Menu (three lines): open Player Settings while watching (aspect ratio, audio, subtitles, speed).
  • Play/Pause, Rewind, Fast Forward: control movies and series.

Updates on Fire TV

WalisTV checks for new versions when it starts. When an update is available, it downloads it from walistv.com. The first time, the system may ask you to allow WalisTV to install apps: turn it on, then go back and continue. Your Device ID, playlists and favorites stay the same.

Tips for a smooth experience

  • Use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi network, or Amazon’s Ethernet adapter for a wired connection.
  • Keep free space: older Fire TV Sticks have only 8 GB. Delete installation files in Downloader and apps you no longer use.
  • Restart once a week: Settings > My Fire TV > Restart.
  • Turn off data monitoring if you see quality warnings: Settings > Preferences > Data Monitoring.
  • Buffering? See 12 fixes for buffering: they also work here.

Troubleshooting

“App not installed”

The storage may be full, or an older copy of WalisTV from another website is installed. Free some space, uninstall the old copy in Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications, and download again with the code.

I do not see Developer Options

Make sure you pressed select 7 times on the device name in Settings > My Fire TV > About, then go back one screen.

Downloader says the code does not work

Check the code: 7254182. You can also type walistv.com in Downloader and use the download button on the website.

The Fire TV shows a warning about the app

The system warns about every app installed outside the Appstore. Only install WalisTV from walistv.com or with the code above.
