When you mention 4.4.2, if you mean Android v4.4.2 (KitKat) then the latest version of Kodi that will run is Jarvis (which you already had).
For Krypton or later, you need at least Android 5.

There might be some community versions of Jarvis around, depending on what processor etc it has. I recall there were a few about at the time for specific devices/processors, but whether they still are available I do not know.
And as they are not produced by us, we also do not support them here. Not because there is anything wrong with them (piracy or suchlike), but to get around the limitations of KitKat they used various quite specific hacks and bodges, which we could not include in the general official version of Kodi. Hence the limit of Android Lollipop (aka Android 5) and above for Krypton and onwards.
