    yea I thought it was my ps4 but if it happened to you and others possibly then Sony needs to fix it. I’ve been having to use my switch for the last 2 weeks. Probably because either they are thrying to do something with the ps4 and ps5 or they want us to stop using their product

    I’m also having the same issues Eversince I downloaded 7.55 update I can no longer get to the ps menu and when it does it completely crashes and turns itself off!
    I tried countless times to install 7.55 with USB stick and using Internet but no luck.
    Even bought a new hard drive so I downloaded reinstall software 7.55 onto a USB stick (FAT32) but I constantly keep getting an error message saying “cannot find update file 7.55 or above” when clearly it is by following the simple steps they give you!!

    This is ridiculous and Sony just don’t care about this issue because its been going on for months.

    Two days ago i was playing on my PS4 Pro, my mom called me for dinner. I turned off my ps4 and then i went downstairs to eat. When i came back upstairs and turned on my ps4 i saw “cannot connect ps4”. I thought it was weird and did what it said, i turned on my ps4 controller and plugged it in with an USB cable as i was told. Then it told me to connect a USB storage device that contains an update file for reinstallation for Version 7.55 or later. I did everything it told me on Playstation.com and made a folder called “PS4” inside the Thumbdrive. Inside the folder called PS4 i Made a folder called UPDATE and in that folder i put the PS4UPDATE.PUP file inside. My Thumbdrive was formated as FAT32 like it should and i plugged it in the ps4. It said it downloaded it and said that the ps4 would restart again. After the ps4 restarted it started in safe mode again and now im stuck in a safe mode loop and can’t get out. I tried updating with Internet and thumbdrive but nothing works. I have tried to rebuild database but that doesn’t work either. Any tips or help? My Discord is cyptic#1115

      same thing happened to me… I don’t want to have to rebuild the database if I don’t have to. Thats my last resort. Have you found or heard of any solutions yet?

    Why does the PS4 keep switching back to the home screen when I press the x button? in any application.

    I load it up into safe mode and its telling to connect my dualshock but the dualshock won’t connect what do I do? noone can help

    • Jackie chan September 1, 2020 | Reply

      you have to plug your controller in with the usb cable it wont connect without usb

    • Sammy McHugh September 24, 2020 | Reply

      You need to have a data transfer USB cable. I’m having trouble updating my PS4 to 7.55, gone to Safe Mode, couldn’t connect DUALSHOCK. I have about 20 different kinds of Micro USB cables, unfortunately none were apparently a data transfer cable. Bought 2 on Amazon for £6 got it today and the cable works. So needs to be a Data Transfer USB. Good luck!

      (I’m still trying to update to 7.55 but not working by the way)

    This worked for me which was weird because I was having trouble with this update for a few days and I thought it was Spotify when I tried using it but I couldn’t even get into the app but this is an easier way! Just restart your ps4 (close all applications and restart your ps4, in the power off section) that simple!

    Playstation is freezing, can’t load a game without it taking a decade to start, then when the game finally loads it kicks me out and my screen completely freezes. My internet can’t connect to the playstation and I’ve tried everything to fix it, I even went to safe mode and did everything I could, still doesn’t work. I then realised it started having these issues when I updated my playstation to the lates software update. Does anyone have any news when this will be fixed???

    So i have my own ps4 and as of August 28 2020 10:45 pm (MTN TIME) It continues to say Couldn’t Install Update. I have enough storage for it to install but everything I try to do just doesn’t work, Can you fix this quickly so I can play online again and listen to Spotify. Thanks in advance

    Hey, i just did the method of using safe mode. It was looking ok but then i was opening a game and then i got stuck on black screen again. Does anyone have a suggestion? And also, does someone have discord, maybe organise a group chat to talk easily?

    Yes, this is working:

    This worked for me

    Turn off your PS4 system.
    Hold the power button until you hear 2 beeps; one immediately and one 7 seconds later. Your PS4 will now boot in Safe Mode.
    Connect your DS4 controller with a USB cable and press the PS button.
    Select option 3: “Update System Software” and then “Update using Interne

    My Playstation 4 is on a black screen at 50 minutes.
    I’m afraid to hang up, it looks like the update went wrong and is stuck on a black screen.
    If I turn off the PlayStation 4, it may corrupt the data. I will wait 1 hour, but I think something bad is going to happen.
    Sony must be taking the whole team to the PlayStation 5 development and is doing shit on the PlayStation 4.

    7.55 installs and shuts down my PS4. How long before it restarts? Is this the error? I don’t normally have to wait this long before it reboot. Tried re installing in safe mode. Still no luck! Any other suggestions? Thanks

      Same here.
      Ps4 is performing system storage.
      Tried everything from USB install, and all option in safe mode except 6&7. Don’t want to do factory reset as I never backed up all my data.
      PS4- you have to do something. This in crazy.

    Same for myself and best mate this sucks. They haven’t removed game sharing have they? Surely they’d let us know I just wish they’d learn to post patch notes BEFORE we are forced to update

      Sounds like you’re Game sharing. Just activate your PS4 as Primary.

        cant do it due to server maintencance right now.

        That isnt working either. I am not game sharing and I cant access any of my games either.

        Cant activate it as primary because it says the psn is under maintenance.. because it cant connect to server. Thats my issue at least.

        I would if it didnt spout bullshit about the psn network being under maintenance

      • Tobi August 26, 2020 | Reply

        It’s probably not letting them activate it cause of an error code popping up every time they try to
