    You have changed my life. Struggled with this on v11.02. This worked instantly. Didn’t loose my trophies etc because of the PS App. Back working.
    I couldn’t find the file layout shown here. It’s not clear on the PS support page. Using a Mac is even trickier.
    We are leaving the drive in the PS for backing up data.
    Such a great video. Thankyou.

      Skaeir fak install the 1.00GB update, however it will factory reset your PS4. You will have to re login and redownload all your games. I’ve had to factory reset my PS4 2-3 times over the passed 4-5 years due to issues like this and I have never lost data. So I’m 99.9% no data will be lost. No promises though.

      What's your error message if it's ce74880 it needs a complete installation should be 7.00 and should be 1.1gb if it's 400mb it won't work has to be 1.1gb after you make a PS4 folder make another folder on that titiled update in all caps the put PS4 update.pup in the update folder and let it upload after that eject the USB drive from computer and put USB in the PS4 hold the button on the PS4 untill safe mode then scroll down to reinstall update and if you have the 1.1 gb update in you USB drive you screen should say intialize system note this gets rid of games and all users after that it will be easier from there

    To make this simple you need to scroll down at the bottom of the page in his link to PlayStation it should be 7.00 now and you need the 1.1gb should say complete installation not the first two I had ce74880 and I found the problem if you use the 400mb it won't work it will say files cannot be used it needs a complete reinstallion of the update if done correctly you will see intializing system and note this gets rid of games and all users after that it will update and restart I did this and it takes some time so be patient

I click ok, and then when it reboots, it takes me to the original screen saying the playstation can't restart and to use a controller with a USB... It should take me to a screen that says, "Installing," but never does. I have tried to go to safe mode again several times and try it again.
