See migration (wiki). You will need to upgrade to v13 or v14 first, then to v15 or v16 (which will be out soon). You might also need an updated firmware so that your box is running Android 4.2 or higher.
In your case, I think you should upgrade to v14. Then from within v14 use the backup add-on and save the backup to a USB drive. Then flash the box with the updated firmware/Android, and install v15. Then you can restore from the backup.
Use Google Play to download a browser, then use the "old releases" link on the download page to get older versions of Kodi. You will want the ones marked as "ARM".

Are you sure it's running Android? It sounds like it's running a Linux-based OS with only Kodi on it.
