Sony is pulling an apple! Time for lawsuits. Look up apple’s lawsuit for intentionally slowing older iPhones. They are paying $5 for every older iPhone lol not much but...
The 12:24 is as far as I get, it never gets to the screen where it’s actually updating, it says, “PS4 will restart and update” and we’re back to the loop
Same with my ps4 and when I attempted to do the USB download from the Playstation website, I saw it was over 400 and something GB and I do not have a USB drive with that much space. Shouldn't even have to deal with this.
A year later and this video helped me tremendously. Every video I watched I got confused but this video made it easy and now Im saving a hard drive cause my wife nearly ruined it lol. You are a life saver
I followed the exact same steps that are in the video. When I finished and plugged the usb in the ps4, I turned on the ps4 by holding till I hear the second beep and it went into safe mode. But the problem is when I choose update from usb storage device, first it seem like working and it says "copying update file" and when it finish i press update and it starts installing update file normally. When the installation finish, the ps4 restarts but it comes back to the same problem :" cannot start the ps4...". So how should I fix this? Should I initialize the ps4? I hope someone can help
this tutorial did not work i did everything and at after everything it finished the download at the end it turned off then right back to the original download that kept saying can not download

I got a new harddrive for my ps4 because it just lagged and froze my games so i tried to reinstall the system software using the usb method but everytime itsays connect the usb with the update file for reinstallation of version 7.50 it says corrupted file after

Hey, followed the video, I am still recieving the SU 42118-6 error, ive tried the USB method, and the internet method, I have rebuilt my database, I am running out of options
ive tried everything , i had to wipe out all my data on monday and then this same problem comes up again today, ive tried all of your advices and the only way is to reinstall it again wiping all the data again, what do i do?
Thanks very much. Followed your instructions. Initially the PS4 still didn't work but turned it on the next morning and it burst into life. So thanks again.
@@ZadiusTech hi, have an issue when I used my USB and all everything worked fine so there are 3 downloads before it turns on yes ? The first download worked fine the second one just as well but the Third one now that's where the problem is, once it reaches 60 % it stops and says couldn't turn on the ps4 and back at the loop idk how to fix this because there is no issue such as this one. Your help would be much appreciated
Every time I try this I get an error code (CE-34788-0) and it says the update file cannot be used. I've tried doing this on multiple usb, reformating it multiple times, and nothing. I've tried everything the Playstation support bot suggests and still nothing. Any help will be greatly appreciated, because i've tried everything.
My friend has the same problem. I tried many ways to reinstall the PS4 for him, but without succes. He has only one option what is usable in the safe mode (number 7 reinstall). First it's reading the usb and starts with initializing and after that it starts with preparing for the update/reinstall. Ps4 shuts down and restarting, 'can't start the ps' is the only thing that is visible on TV. I think his hard disk died, because he told me that his ps4 didn't react and he unplugged his ps4 when it was on (he's using it for more then 5 years already). We're going to buy a new HD for him an try it all over again. If it works I will give you guys a update.
Thank YOU SO MUCH BRO HONESTLY YOURE A LIFE saver lol. Me and my dad were changing the hardrive on my ps4 and had everything backed up and done right the formatting and everything. I was stumped cus it wasn’t initializing but I had just forgotten to make a file on the usb drive. You’re a life saver 🙏
Do we have to do the complete software download that wipes our hard drive? Or do we need to buy new hard drives and replace them? Sony’s pos hard drives got me messed up..
Hi ThatKidOverThere. I'm glad I was able to help. I'm a small youtuber trying to grow my channel, if you could subscribe that would really help me out. Thanks!
I literally did everything correctly and managed to actually download the update on to my PS4, yet my PS4 is STILL in the loop despite installing the update??!!
By the way if nothing works the only solution I’ve found was to replace the hard drive. I bought a 1 terabyte SATA solid state drive and now my ps4 works great! It’s actually faster than before.
Your tutorial is great, but it still doesn’t work with mine. When I plug in the usb stick, with the correct folders and update on it, it still doesn’t do anything, and the Playstation asks me to plug in a usb stick with the content on it. What should I do? Two weeks ago I was just playing on it and the next morning it suddenly said “Safe Mode” and I was done playing on it
This has been happening to me for MONTHS. I have to reinstall, and delete everything every week. It’s so flippin frustrating, and I have no Idea how to fix it. Not to mention Play Stations terrible tech support. This has almost made me switch to Xbox because of how annoying it is.
me too this is the fifth time i initialize it , it happened every week , also i start getting this problem since the update of 7.55 and today i install the 8.00 update and still the same problem.
Dude!!!ive tried everything! I know everything works! And its just the update is not downloading. I even tried a usb device and still DOES NOT WORK!! i need a fix asap. Im getting so irritated i wanna throw it off my freaking balcony. Screw playstation updates. Btw, the code is Su-42118-6
Omfg.. my parents buyed a Game drive and that cost like 1085 or something bc the people who worked at the place I got my Ps4 said that I had to buy a Game drive and it doesnt work I've been waiting for 4 days.. like I just wanna play on my ps4 T^T
Hi Noora Noora, as a last resort you can follow the instructions in this video, just make sure to download the "PS4™ Complete System Software File": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cMMyJUom8nE.html
Hi Surihardi Ngarip, if this video didn't help you, check out this video instead it should contain a solution to your problem: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ft187gnOpa0.html
@@ZadiusTech ive already tried the video that you recommended but still the same occurred.. The only way i see is to initialize PS4 which i did that got my console out from that loop..
Michael Cilliers I had the same problem bro this video help me make sure you watch the full video carefully until the end Make make sure you formate your flash drive before downloading
I have done every single option available on the Safe Mode feature and still my playstation repeatedly crashes when on applications and today has gone back to being stuck in the safe mode loop. I tried to download 7.50 through the internet and through a memory stick and both times it installed to 100%, restarted and then went back into safe mode. This is the original ps4 from the first day it came out, is the hard drive just fried? Do I need a new ps4/hard drive???
Hi JoeyXII, if you have tried everything and its still not working, then your hard drive has probably gone bad. I recommend getting this PS4 replacement hard drive amzn.to/34CeexS and then you can follow this HOWTO video on how to replace your hard drive and install the PS4 system software on it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sxw5OM3-C7I.html
JoeyXII Yeah I bought a new HDD Sata 2 500GB hardrive off of Ebay as any hardrive can be used aslong as it is the same as the normal hardrive. I would suggest buying a new hardrive and seeing if that works because none of the Safe Mode features aren’t working and so is my usb nothing’s working
Thank you so much man, I had so much trouble because it wouldn't read the usb file, but your video was so thorough and in depth that it worked finally thank you!
Hi RickyStyle. I'm glad I was able to help. I'm a small youtuber trying to grow my channel, if you could subscribe that would really help me out. Thanks!
BRUH everytime i so everything correct the file and everything it tells me this file cannot be used connect a usb storage device that conatins the update then it says (ce-34788-0)
I sorted that by holding the on button for 7 seconds to manually stsrt safe mode. Then it let me update. But then that doesnt work... I probably need to wipe or buy a new hard drive
Hey man - I thought this was gonna work. Did everything PERFECTLY and once the PS4 restarted after the download, it still errored out saying “cannot start ps4”
Question: I've done all of this but, when it finally gets to installing the update file, my PS4 restarts right before it hits 100%, and I start all over again with the screen asking me to update the system software. Ever seen an issue like that?
Never mind, watched the last vid where you have to reset your ps4 and it worked! Fortunately I had all my games downloaded on my hard drive so it wasn’t that much trouble. Thank you. You’ve my sub!!
Please answer me when I update the ps4 to 7.50 in safe mode by using the internet when finish the download the ps4 his screen its black so if use your update the can the ps4 repaired
I’m having this exact problem with verison 7.51 all day and it’s driving me crazy. I do everything you do in the video, but then when it restarts it wants me to connect the usb drive with the download file. But when I do it says the update file can’t be used.
SAME! I've done everything but initialize my ps4 and I really don't want to because there is no way to back my data up WITHOUT my ps4! let me know if you found a fix please!!!
I put in a different hard drive and reinstalled the software using USB and got mine working, I just don’t know how to fix the old hard drive with all my data
You have to choose system complete software file which is 1.1 gb. BUT, you will lose or all of your data on your ps4. The good news is your ps4 will back work fine.

This worked thank you , helped my nephew now i can get him off my back , its very simple a 9 year can do it , maybe not ! but this was a BIG help , thanks again.
Hi Emperorgirl101, if this FIX didn't work, check out my new video on how to fix the Update Error here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RCK5pykdGDw.html
Thanks for the video. Mines still not working. After I do the system update and it restarts I get "checking system storage status" then it restarts and I get "cannot start the PS4" any ideas ? I've tried everything
This video was very easy to follow, which I appreciate wholeheartedly. I have the update downloaded onto my flashdrive now, so we'll see if it works! UPDATE: It did not work. It acted like it was working until it was time for the system to restart and start the update, but it just went back into the same safe mode loop.
Hi Fresh Xan. I'm glad I was able to help. I'm a small youtuber trying to grow my channel, if you could subscribe that would really help me out. Thanks!
There sure is, give this fix in my other video a try: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RCK5pykdGDw.html . If it doesn't work I left a link in the description for buying a compatible USB drive if you end up needing that if the other fix doesn't work.
Hi I try updating my PS4, by following the steps you explained, but my PS4 is still on safe mode. No matter how I try to update on my PS4, it's still going to be on safe mode. Are there any alternatives to bring my PS4 back?
If you’ve tried reinstalling and it didn’t work then the problem is with the hard drive. I had the problem for weeks and there is no fix. Luckily I had a spare hard drive form an old laptop and I was able to get it to work after that.
Man thank you so so much... Last time that happen about a year ago I took it to an "expert" and lost all my data.... This time around I found your video!! Thank you so much again you're the best
