I had this happen a year ago and desperately needed this video! As someone who scoured boards and had to call PlayStation for help this is 100 percent the best way. You’ve helped so many people with this 😂
man if i knew this before i could’ve saved a whole playstation but i took the other one apart and kept the hard drive and now i needed the hard drive and this helped me out thanks
Ive got a ps4 pro asking for the reinstallation file, bought a computer and usb and 5.0 hotspot to do it, but after weeks of trying it only downloads part of the ps4pup file and gives up, making me restart the whole download. Getting so frustrated.. paid extra for the fastest wifi with no luck 😢
This literally saved me today. I was trying to watch the video on the PlayStation website, but the instructions weren't that clear for me to understand. But it's all good now cause of this video!
So I helped my son with this and he needed the 11.50 version. Followed all this guys steps and it worked. it took the system twice to load it and after the second attempt it worked. But it does restart and delete everything, but if you have everything saved in the ps4 account then you just have to download everything again. But your games and friends can be transferred to the ps4 as long as everything was saved in your account before the corruption error
YAY! This worked!! the other software (only) update would not work (usb not accepted) - so had to just bite the bullet on this full reinstall - which thankfully worked & i have my Ps4 back! thank you sooooo much for this!
Mine is an older ps4 so it tells me I have to format it to exFAT when I reformatted it, it still wont recognize it as exfat. Anyone else have the same problem?
Hi I have a sealed ps4 slim days of play ( blue color) and i want to know if it is possible to backup the original firmware 5.07 so i can upgrade the hdd and restore the 5.07 the. Jailbreal it?
Im on fw 11.52 and i want to downgrade to 11.00 so if i do this process and it ends up working so will i be back on the 11.00 version or below? Pls let me know
There are sites where you can download firmwares like 9.00 and 11.00 aswell, i was on Fw 11.52 just like you, i intialized my PS4 and copied the 9.00 Fw file onto a USB and then plugged it into the PS4 and it worked! Do note however that it does take a couple of hours to intialize fully so make sure that the power doesn't go out during this downtime otherwise you may damage your PS4.
I did everything in the video and the update files didn’t read at all 😢. What did I do wrong? This has happened before but this is the 2nd time this happened to me on my current PlayStation.
hello sir! this video is very informative and to the point, I just have 1 question. I faced the same problem and all the steps seem to work. Is there a way we won't lose all the data and accounts? if I lose them, I'll have to create new accounts, download all games, and connect all accounts. plz, let me know !!!
Can i reinstall it from 7. initialize ps4 (Reinstall System Software), or can i just simply go to Update system software and update from usb storage device. Is it the same thing?
Seriously, what are you trying to do? Update your PS4 or re install system software? That seems logic, updating and reinstalling is not the same thing. You have to reinstall from 7. initialize ps4 (reinstall system software).
@@elenandriopoulos1874 not at all. Once you redownload the saved game files and redownload the games you start right back in your games as if nothing happened
i did everything but after downloading the ps4 keeps resetting and telling me to do the same thing over and over again ima just sale the ps4 to a pawn shop or something tnx for everything though!!!
I did the same thing! it worked like a charm, please make sure that there are no power outages or something or the PS4 may get bricked while intializing, you can download the 9.00 Fw or the 11.00 Fw from certain sites and then copy them on your flash drive and plug them onto your PS4!
Thank you so much for explaining how the files should be put on the USB. I'm a little bummed that this ultimately deletes all the data but I mean, come on. I wasn't going to be able to use it anyways without doing this so what does it matter.
I was able to download the 9.00 Firmware and got my PS4 Jailbroken but make sure that you don't have frequent power outages or otherwise you may end up damaging your PS4.
Oaks if you still ahve a problem just change the reinstllation file .like it might say ps4update(1).pup just remove the (1) thats what i had a problem with
I've not used my PS4 in 4 months because of this issue. I saw your video gave it a shot and got my PS4 going again . THANK YOU.❤
Does the update erase all your games or progress that you have made in a game?
@@elenandriopoulos1874idk but I had to do it so ima check for you kinda last tho srry

So good. Almost thought I’d have to get rid of my ps4 but this video saved me from investing into something else!!!
Great job. God bless you!
When the screen turns on it says safe mode and then at the bottom it says connect the dualshock controller but it doesnt connect can anyone help?
You need to find a compatible cable for your ps4 controller some cables do not work

@@davidzamora7635yeah
Yes@@davidzamora7635
If u download a 9.00system software and u put the file on a 11.02 ps4 will it delete all your games
It does that to any update it’s called initializing the PS4
When I did it, it said that it cannot find the updated file, despite me having it.
YAY! This worked!! the other software (only) update would not work (usb not accepted) - so had to just bite the bullet on this full reinstall - which thankfully worked & i have my Ps4 back! thank you sooooo much for this!
Thank you so much man I’m sure you have helped a lot of other people tooo😂🎉

You are a great instructor! Easy to follow and worked flawlessly!
THANK YOU !! ❤❤❤❤
My is my 2 port usb in the front of my ps4 pro doesn't work I only have the usb port in the back the ps4 how can I fixed?
When can you take out the USB? can you take it out when the PS is done updating? Don't wanna mess anything up
something happened to me from PS4, it only works for me with the "Reinstall System Software" function, I can't give anything else, please advise
Can you donthis to downgrade to a previous system update firmware like a 9.00?
My brother has another ps4 with the same account that the ps4 that has this issue if I initialize this ps4 will it delete my brothers stuff
Yes of course my ps4 doesnt even let me do it. It goes back into safe mode nothing works for me
My ps4 already reinstalled but it goes straight back to safe mode again.. Do I need to change the hdd?
mine is doing the same
did you find a solution?
I’m thinking I might need to change the HDD also. If a new flash drive doesn’t work
Just keep forcing the update/reinstall until it works, ours did after 4 times, good luck!
I have been spending hours trying to fix this problem but then when I watch ur vid my PlayStation works now
When i do this it says its updating system software and i dont want to do that when i reinstal ps4 system software
In this method ps4 12.00 to 11.00 downgrade version possible??????????
Mine is an older ps4 so it tells me I have to format it to exFAT when I reformatted it, it still wont recognize it as exfat. Anyone else have the same problem?
Does it only give you the option to exFAT?
I click on the options and FAT32 doesn’t come up
Thank you so much bro you saved my ps4❤
Is there a reason it keeps downloading as a media file or notepad file instead of a PUP file
Good shit my dude, very helpful!
Hi! My controller doesn't connect. Im stuck at connect the dualshock 4...
You need a new usb charger
I want to downgrade my ps4 from 11.50 to 9.00 but it says that it didn’t find the update file 😢

You have to use the left USB port for it

Dealing with the same thing now what did you do ?
Just keep forcing the update/reinstall until it works, ours did after 4 times, good luck!
Mine said I needed to do it, it wouldn’t let me select ok so I pressed cancel, loaded up my ps4 again and it was back to normal
For some reason I didn't get the option list

It has to be in left side USB slot only of PS4 to work. USB hubs won't work.
Mine says file corrupted
