mine just charged when i connected to ps4 edit: since people keep replying even though its been months the thing with me was that my controller somehow stopped connecting to my ps4 then after a bunch of stuff i got a new controller and had to connect that using a different pairing method and yee, my ps4 was just a bit faulty or something nothing to do with the cable
I have a hard headed husband and this helped me from choking him he was so mad that this happened he was about to throw it out and buy a new one... this video saved him from a big fight 😂
Thank you so much. Me and my brother appreciate you going through all the trouble to show everyone how easy it is. It took us about 2 weeks. Thank you so much.
you don't need to initialize the ps4.just update it by using a format disc, downloading the update from PlayStation.com, or using the internet (it told me which update version I needed). the reason I didn't initialize it is because it said it would delete all users
Not sure if it helps but my controllers wouldn’t connect but then I finally found a usb that worked with it and I got every thing going idk if it helps but yeah try different cables
@@zhawni yes it work just don’t do #7 bc if u do then u will have to start all the way over on ur games do #6 if u have ps+ and u will be able to get ur data
@@mzmaraj6236 is it gon work fr? Cause I don’t want all my shit to delete but I’ve tried every option to try to fix it but they don’t work so ima try this
I love you. Thank you so much I thought it was over. I had another PS4 I had this problem with as well. I was ready to give up until I ranned into your video, you're a life saver thanks again so much
bro just go into safe mode and select the update software option and connect lan cable to ps4 through router and select "update with internet option " after that your ps4 will start up !this worked for me 👍
Good advise but it didn’t work for me it just said conect a usb storage device that contains an update file for reinstallation for version 6.72 or later. You can download the update file for reinstallation from PlayStation.com. And i dont no what to do Like i said at the beginning thats all it says
Looks like it works for many people except me. Plugging and hitting the PS button only makes the controller blinking. Nothing happens, no safe mode or anything.
Mine legit did this yesterday I reset it download all my stuff now it's doing it again but when I connect my controller it says "connect a usb storage device that contains an update file for reinstallation version 6.71 or later" and won't let me onto safe mode to restart
Omg thank you much! I just bought the brand new Spider-Man ps4 just for the game had it for a week and then it popped up and I kept trying to fixing it and I just went through days looking for how to fix it and yours worked thank you so much oh my god!!!💜💜💜

@@kingj6710 ayo so you gotta first of all check if your charger is working or not, then you have to turn off your ps4, now you hold the power (on your console your controller) until it makes 2 beep sounds, then you let go. You then connect the usb and click the ps button and do each one.... ur welcome
I've seen various tutorials but they all failed, my son has not played PS for 2 weeks and when I saw your tutorial I followed it and I didn't think it worked quickly. Thankyou so much 👍🏾👍🏾
@@keeptryinbro5686 I clicked the button on the ps4 console until it beeped 2 times and you have to hold it for like 30 seconds or something than turn it back on
I tried New cords and remotes in the end I found out from a repair store (that also told me trash it)one of my ports where not transferring data so with my last working usb I hooked up a usb extender which allowed me to hook up the remote and the usb with the 1.1GB UPDATE file from PlayStation.com and it worked I lost everything but it works

raheem peterson I’ve managed to get the menu up but it won’t let me do the software update so might have to reset the whole thing which I don’t want to do 😬
geocraft i found a way it said it needed storage so go to the PlayStation web site and there’s info on it there . U will need a usb though you have to make storage . It’s overloaded that’s why.
Make sure you don't have any other USB's plugged in (external hard drives) and be sure that you have the controller connected directly with the cord into the PS4 and not wirelessly.
lul I fixed it, use an original cable and go into safe mode (has to be original cable) and then you have to do step 6 on safe mode (it deletes everything but just redownload stuff
