Is there a way to roll back to 19.0?
#1
Is it possible to roll back my Android box to 19.0?  I have a MyGica box running Android Lollipop (v5, I believe) with four USB ports, and Kodi 19.1 has bricked it.  I use this box only to play media from USB drives, but all the USB input sources have disappeared.  Under Videos/Files, nothing is listed.  It used to show all my ports and I could choose which one to browse.  Now nothing.

I am sure this will be fixed in future releases, but is there a way to go back to version 19.0 for now?

Thanks.

'Bricked it' generally means it won't boot, not that an app is playing up. Maybe if you post a log file it will have more chance of being fixed as I've not seen anyone else report the issue.

However if you do want to just go back to 19 you can sideload it from here -> https://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/android/arm/ but of course without any more info it's unlikely to ever get fixed.

It's also possible that your sources.xml just got corrupted, in which case installing 19.0 won't make any difference. If you go to File Manager/Add Source/Browse do you see your drives?

There have been several comments on missing usb ports with 19.1 on Android, so I don't think I'm the only one. 

Sorry for my use of the word "brick", when I meant only that my android box was now of no use to me with all the usb ports inaccessible.

Thank you for the link to the previous versions.

No problem, it's just a terminology thing where bricking is normally caused by a failure in updating firmware or something similar where the device won't boot.
