The system connects to the network using an access point. Select the connection that you want to use. You must have Memory Stick™ media inserted if you are using a PSP-1000/2000/3000 series system. If an update is cancelled before completion, the system software may become damaged and the system may require servicing or exchange.

I will try a brand new store bought drive to eliminate the possibility of a bad drive but after this without dismantling the entire PS4 I have no idea how else to fix this PS4.During an update, do not remove the Memory Stick™ media or the AC adaptor, and do not turn off the system. If I go back into Safe Mode at this point I am back at square one with only option #7 as my choice as if it didn’t actually load anything we just saw as successful. Upon turning it back on I get the “checking system storage”, it gets stuck at 24% and then other errors again about not able to start. I have pressed all the buttons and so on only thing left it to turn it off. The “blue” system light is continually pulsing if but will just sit there as long as you let it. The PS4 reads the file, asks if I wish to continue because everything will be deleted and I proceed.ġ) Step one, it does get to 100% full system initialization.Ģ) Then proceeds to do a system file update which succeeds (safe mode window)ģ) then it displays PS4 graphics screen and does a second system file update and succeedsĤ) then it reboots and does a system storage install which actually takes a bit of time to complete.ĥ) It’s then after it completes the system storage like building the database where it does a final reboot and then it displayed the PS logo but then just sits on a black/dark blue screen. I have verified the correct file I put on the USB key which is the full system file and not just the update file (version 7.51). Upon booting into Safe Mode the only option I get is #7 which is a full system initialization. Lastly I used a different hard drive entirely and this is where I am stuck.

I messed around in Safe Mode multiple times trying the different settings and even after a couple times choosing option #7 “System Initialization” the PS4 would then work properly for about a week before returning to this cycle of errors.įinally I pulled the hard drive out and plugged it into my desktop PC and it did report some bad sectors, I wiped it and reformatted it (exFAT) and it reported “good” condition but still overall no luck. Connect a controller and press the PS button”. On initial start up of the PS4 I would get a system error indicating “Cannot Start PS4. I as well recently been having a very similar issue…
