Yo bro I got a question what if your ps4 Update when u get too the copying file part It won't copy and it doesn't show how many seconds or anything the download doesn't go cause I have this problem that's the only reason I can't do this stuff been trying everything I can for 2 days even tried cleaning my ps4 slim nun and when the download did pop and was going like in the video it stopped mid way and thats the one time I seen that
This whole safe mode loop everyone is getting in is unacceptable. And the fact that Sony hasn't done anything fix it is just criminal in my opinion. My ps4 is only 3 months old and due to the latest update, i cant even use my ps4 anymore. Just great.
I can’t express how thankful I am to you I was heart broken because my favorite game called apex legends has a new season that is coming out tomorrow and my ps4 said my database is corrupted so I thought I wouldn’t get to play the season all I can say is thank you
For people who do not work with the method, they have to create a folder called "PS4" followed inside that folder to put another called "UPDATE", ready there put the file they will use, as the boy says they must format their USB in FAT32 format . I hope to help you!
I struggled a lot with this because the official instructions in the sony website tell you to simple put the file in the UPDATE folder, they don't tell you that the UPDATE folder needs to be inside the PS4 folder. Anyway, thank you very much man it worked like a charm.
Im stuck trying to update my system to 11.50 and it keep give me the error code say it cant detect my usb drive how do i fix this it keep doing the same thing
May God bless you and yours Sir!!!! You just saved this PS4 from testing flight across the living room!! Thank you so much! The Folder trick on the USB was the key for me!!
@@ZadiusTechhi zt, I'm having a issue with my ps4. i just upgraded to a new hard drive and it wont let me select option 3, just 7. i backed up all my save dat to ps cloud storage and sync my trophies to my account havent deleted. i also backup my save data to a flash drive as well. if i have to pick option 7, can i still backup my save files i previously loaded?
It finally worked, after weeks of trying to figure this out. The problem was that I had the folder named “UPDATE” and inside was the update file, and the ps4 couldn’t find the file. But when I made a folder named “PS4” and then put the other folder and file into it, it worked immediately. So if you’re having the same problem as me, that’s how you fix it
hi I have followed all the instructions of the video and everything works perfectly until the end when it says that it restarts by itself ... the problem is that when it restarts it asks me the same thing ... at the beginning it checks the status of the storage memory of the system ... then connect the controller ... and then connect the pendrive with the update file .... what a disappointment, what do you think could be the problem?
So helpful. I was struggling. Watching this video made me realize how Cap sensitive saving these files was. Now I can game again. Right on time because I'm moving to my new place today. Thanks
I cannot get the update to work after following all the steps for version 9.00. The only difference is my download icon is not just a 'white paper' it also includes the 'explorer' logo 'e'. Help!
Everything you said worked except the 1gb download worked as I had to install a new 1tb hard drive. Thank you so much as the format of the USB stick and file names and how to copy to the drive all worked. I tried the smaller and negative results. Started from scratch and this time the full 1GB download worked and we are back on and downloading all saved data. Thanks again!
Make sure you have only one folder on the USB drive named PS4 then another folder inside that ps4 folder named UPDATE and then the update file inside the update folder named PS4UPDATE.PUP
I bought a new internal hard drive, but when I tried to install the update, I only see available the option #7... Initialize PS4 (Reinstall S...) I couldn't us the other options. The PS4 didn't recognize the USB flash drive.
Just like the other comments, make sure you have the file named UPDATE with the installation data inside the folder. Knowing that, make another folder that says PS4 and put the UPDATE folder with installation file inside the new PS4 named folder. It should be able to read it then.
@@riceninja051 I did just this! I even redownloaded the update file a few times but I still have the same problem! It even downloaded the file already but then it sends me back to the safe mode screen and makes me download it again and says it can't find the file??
I did all the steps and when I plug the USB into the PS4 go to safe mode and click the Update from USB Storage Device and click OK I still get error code SU-41350-3
I know this is a relatively late question, but i had to use option 7 in my safe mode loop, but my PS4 keeps freezing, and Its very frustrating, ive even done option 5 multiple times.
12:16 After this my PS4 whoud reboot itself and say “connect a USB storage device that contains an update file for version 8.03 or later. You can download the update for reinstallation from playstation.com” Can somebody help me pleas I really don’t know what to do
I can’t find a video that explains as well as this one but the PlayStation page is updated so I don’t know what to click to download the file that won’t force me to wipe my system
it says the update file cannot be used. connect a usb storage device that contains an update file version 7.50 or later (CE-34788-0) and idk what to do now
Dude thank you SO MUCH for this video!! I got stuck on version 9.00 and couldn’t play anything for a couple months until I ended up luckily grabbing a PS5, but dude, having my PS4 back up is so nice, so many memories on this thing. Still have the original console from 2013, thing works like a charm after all these years. Thanks man!!
‼️It keeps saying cannot find the update file (SU-41350-5) And when I try to click a other option and download something it still says it please help ‼️ @Zaduis Tech
i still cant get mine installed I just installed a expensive SSD but for some reason everytime everytime i pop in the USB i keep getting that error message cannot find the updated file i followed the instructions correctly or maybe because theres a new update 7.51 please help
I followed your steps to the T and after trying to update system software using the USB I come across SU-41350-3. I formatted the USB correctly I put down the files correctly. I named them and renamed them correctly as you did but I still came across that error at this point. I’m really thinking about taking a pickax to my PlayStation.

@@ZadiusTech I’m not 100% sure but I think this method is ineffective for someone w the 8.03 update if you could make a video regarding that update i would greatly appreciate it and I’m sure many others would as well
"My dumbass just didn't read that I needed to make a folder called PS4, then put a folder in it called UPDATE. " That was my comment, just wanted to see if you did that step because it should show up...
For those who keep getting the damn "Cannot find the update file" (SU-41350-3) for no apparent reason. You checked the names, the file system, etc. What worked for me is going to Safe Mode (holding the power button until the second beep) and choosing "Initialize PS4" (first option). This ERASES all your games and savings just so you know. I guess I might not have had enough memory for the update to complete or something. Anyway, this is what helped to bring PS4 to life for me.
Same here, did everything right it did the update and took the file but when it was bouta finish said that it couldn't start the PS4. 8.5 is garbage XD
@@ZadiusTech didnt work. still stuck in the loop. Created the folders and properly named the file and in Safe mode (not like the console gives me a choice). Always starts off with "Checking the system status...Do not turn off the PS4. After the check has completed, the PS4 will automatically restart". This always stats at 24%. then works its way to 100% at which point it goes to "Cannot start the PS4. Connect the DUALSHOCK 3 using USB cable, then press the PS button. (which I do) At this point (still in Safe Mode), it will say: "Connect a USB storage device that contains an update file for reinstallation for version 8.03 or later. You can download the update file for reinstallation from playstation.com" (which I already downloaded off Sony's site and is on the FAT32 usb drive). two choices: cancel or OK. I hit OK (please wait) Then I get: The update file cannot be used. Connect a USB storage device that contains an update fil for reinstallation for version 8.03 or later. (CE-34788-0)
Does the usb have to be connected form the front? Mine didn’t fit I tried the back usb and everything went fine until it said this update file cannot be used. Writing this I’m thinking it might be the wrong version, But if it isn’t that what else could it be?
i dont think u would get this message but i needed to know how to get to the download file page cause when i click the link it takes me to a differnt one or do u have nother link plz answer.
Hii I was hoping you could help me out... I did exactly as you said I thought it was going to work because it started updating but it sent me back to the safe mode screen and made me redownload and keeps saying it can't find the file? Ice already tried redownloading the update file and making a new file for it but it still doesn't work I've also tried the options you've suggested in your other video but it just won't work. I really don't want to delete all the data on my PS4 because it has a lot of memories in it I've just been going through the same loop of finally downloading the software update but it just send me back saying it can't find it even though it already downloaded it. Is there anything I'm doing wrong or anything else I could possibly do to fix this?
Still not working. I’ve done everything suggested, still get “storage device not connected” error. I even did a complete “system update/reset” using a usb device, and PS4 fails to restart, sending me into an endless loop of “Updates and Resets”.
I need some help my file keeps switching to a e-file instead of the reg file and Everytime I try to rename it .it won't work. 😖😖😖😖😖Help !! I've been doing this for 3days now
I can’t even begin to express the relief of getting back into my ps4. Thank you so much for this. I thought I’d have to save for another console and I really don’t got time for that with the bills I gotta pay for
So I just replaced my old Hard Drive with a new one, and followed these exact steps, but for some reason Im not able to choose the Update Software option it goes straight to option #7 that says Initialize PS4 reinstallation and when i click on it it says it cant find the updated even tho i have my USB installed.
Hi Jackpot Strikes Again, as a last resort you can follow the instructions in this video, just make sure to download the "PS4™ Complete System Software File": ua-cam.com/video/cMMyJUom8nE/v-deo.html
@@ZadiusTech Thank you i appreciate it. I'll try it soon. It's crazy that a company like Sony has allowed crashes like this to happen on their console.

This always stats at 24%. then works its way to 100% at which point it goes to "Cannot start the PS4. Connect the DUALSHOCK 3 using USB cable, then press the PS button. (which I do)
At this point (still in Safe Mode), it will say:
"Connect a USB storage device that contains an update file for reinstallation for version 8.03 or later. You can download the update file for reinstallation from playstation.com" (which I already downloaded off Sony's site and is on the FAT32 usb drive).
two choices: cancel or OK.
I hit OK
(please wait)
Then I get:
The update file cannot be used.
Connect a USB storage device that contains an update fil for reinstallation for version 8.03 or later.
(CE-34788-0)
Does the usb have to be connected form the front? Mine didn’t fit I tried the back usb and everything went fine until it said this update file cannot be used. Writing this I’m thinking it might be the wrong version, But if it isn’t that what else could it be?
You’re dope! Thank you so much! I was about to sell it for parts 😂
You are a star fam
Thank you for saving me from a meltdown with this video. Worked for me with going into safe mode to do it. I now have a happy little boy
Thank very much man you just save my life priciated it, keep up the good work.
Hi Christopher Lindor. I'm glad I was able to help you, if you could subscribe that would really help me out. Thanks!
i dont think u would get this message but i needed to know how to get to the download file page cause when i click the link it takes me to a differnt one or do u have nother link plz answer.
I'm very grateful that you took time from you're life to help others, I really appreciate you're work!
Hii I was hoping you could help me out... I did exactly as you said
I thought it was going to work because it started updating but it sent me back to the safe mode screen and made me redownload and keeps saying it can't find the file?
Ice already tried redownloading the update file and making a new file for it but it still doesn't work
I've also tried the options you've suggested in your other video but it just won't work.
I really don't want to delete all the data on my PS4 because it has a lot of memories in it
I've just been going through the same loop of finally downloading the software update but it just send me back saying it can't find it even though it already downloaded it. Is there anything I'm doing wrong or anything else I could possibly do to fix this?
You saved me dawg blessings
Still not working. I’ve done everything suggested, still get “storage device not connected” error. I even did a complete “system update/reset” using a usb device, and PS4 fails to restart, sending me into an endless loop of “Updates and Resets”.
Mine still didn’t work please help :(
What mine did for a bit was that it kept resetting the update file name, so just keep checking that there isn’t the number
Still shows me connect the DualShock 4 using the USB cable and then press the ps button
I was literally going to throw away my PS4 but you saved me after 8 months thanks for this vid!
I have a question so after i pasted the reinstalation file in the update file it said at the end PS4UPDATE
With no.PUP at the end it that still okay?
Omg thank you so much for helping me🙏🙏

I can’t even begin to express the relief of getting back into my ps4. Thank you so much for this. I thought I’d have to save for another console and I really don’t got time for that with the bills I gotta pay for
I can't thank you enough man 😭😭😭😭😭❤️
How do I fix this, I don’t get the multiple options on safe mode
@@sheikhrahman7322 same I just get option 7th
After it installs for me, it goes back to saying I need to download the update file. Is there anyway to back up my data or am I screwed
Hi DUNK NUFF, try following the instructions in this video to manually install the PS4 system software update: ua-cam.com/video/2srcc8_d_TQ/v-deo.html
It means you need to fully initialize your PS4
OMG THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED I CAN USE MY PS4 AGAIN THANK YOU
Hi Stephanie Roman. I'm glad I was able to help you, if you could subscribe that would really help me out. Thanks!
So I just replaced my old Hard Drive with a new one, and followed these exact steps, but for some reason Im not able to choose the Update Software option it goes straight to option #7 that says Initialize PS4 reinstallation and when i click on it it says it cant find the updated even tho i have my USB installed.
Thank you this really helped me
Hi Trenton Mapp. I'm glad I was able to help you, if you could subscribe that would really help me out. Thanks!
Hi I need help. I cant navigate through the options in safe mode using the D pad. Im stuck at option 7.
Hi Jackpot Strikes Again, as a last resort you can follow the instructions in this video, just make sure to download the "PS4™ Complete System Software File": ua-cam.com/video/cMMyJUom8nE/v-deo.html
@@ZadiusTech Thank you i appreciate it. I'll try it soon. It's crazy that a company like Sony has allowed crashes like this to happen on their console.
Thank you I have been stuck with safe mode for 4 months than you so much

My file has a internet explorer icon next to it instead of a blank white page icon like yours. Does that make a difference?
You’re the best!
