Im on regular mac and i went to the playstation website to try to download the file and the file wasn't there it was not on the screen ,Yes i went to the link u provided
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.
Hello I’m having the same issue and went to buy a drive and adapter for my MacBook Pro, and it’s still not working do you have any pics or are you willing to help me out since all these comments are old but yours
Dosnt work all it says is The Update file cannot be used. Connect a USB Storage device that contains an update file for reinstallation version 7.00 or later. (CE-34788-0) what do i do cause i followed every single step twice
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.
There are two updates you need a complete reinstaion it should be 1.1 gb and is at the bottom of the page not the 400mb the 1.1 gb is the only one that works I did this and it worked it only works for the 1.1 mb
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
when im formatting my external HDD to use for my back up files, if it asks me for the scheme should I do the same as shown here for the flash drive? I've watched other videos for formatting an HDD to fat32 and I don't see it ask for the scheme like your Mac did? im having a hard time figuring this out. Thanks
omg your the best i have beeen stuck on this for about 6 days and you have solved my problem thnk you so much. much love to you. i have subbed and lest a like on the vid for the apparition
Thank you so much! FOR THOSE HAVING TROUBLE: Redo the download a few times if possible, that’s what I had to do for it to work. MAKE SURE IT SAYS PS4UPDATE.PUP
I went to the link but it brings me to a different page then what you had and i only have 2 links to choose from either "ps4 update file" or "ps4 reinstallation file" which one am i supposed to use?
Can I back up some files from ps4 to the flash drive I’ll be using (it having plenty storage) to install software or does the flash drive need to be cleared of everything for the install?
WOW. You are the best. I followed your step by step instructions and got it. 1000 tump up for you. Thanks so much for your profesional help and support!!! Problem resolved.
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
Keeps saying my usb storage device isn’t connected. I made sure to format the file over in the beginning and I just bought my new usb today. The error code is (SU-41333-4). Any help? It would be much appreciated thank you!!
Bro I go on the PS4 system software update thing and now the entire website is structured different. Like you can’t click accept to get the file anymore.
Get the the end step 7 to initialise ps4 and it then says the update file can not be used, connect USB storage device that contains ....... an I not downloading the file and transferring incorrectly to USB?
It says “Cannot find the update file (SU-41350-3)” when I put the USB, but I’ve done every step on this video and I’ve used the one at the bottom saying “agree the terms and download complete software”
Please helpp mann i did everythingggggg and did that now on the last bage its 1g and now it’s says a new thing it’s says (the update file is corrected) and i used all the files on that bage one by one and there’s another thing the bage has got another shape
If it's ce347880 it needs a complete installation there are two updates on PlayStation.com you need the 1.1gb not the 400 mb if you get the 400mb it will say files cannot be used on the PS4 if you have the 1.1gb it should say intialize ps4
So the page must have updated and it is not the same anymore. It brings me to a page that says "Legal" on the playstation website. Where do I go from there? I tried downloading the update 9.60 and tried both PS4 "console update file" and "console reinstallation file" and both did not work for me. The thumb drive I am using is around 16 GB and I am using a MacBook Air (not sure if that makes a difference) it is currently May 28, 2022
I have tried what people are saying, and my issue is that the file won't install. It recognizes the update file, it copies the data, and then says it needs to restart to install. 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.
I’ve been struggling with this for almost a week and I watched your video and fixed it. BEHOLD THE MOST HELPFUL VIDEO ON UA-cam!!
Sony should link to this video as it's about 1,000,000x more useful for trouble shooting this issue. Many thanks!

do most secure erase and then pull out usb in between the process. then re connect and try it again.
4 years later and this still works. I made the same mistake and I’m so glad you made a tutorial!!! Thanks bunches!!!

to be safe, you might aswell use a new one. they are relatively cheap too and you dont even need a big one, just one around 1gb should be good
