This is completely unacceptable and it’s all because of a power outage Sony needs to get their things together my PS4 never did this

Good gosh after 4 hours all I had to do was add two extra folders with the correct names. This is one of the most informative and straight to the point videos on this I was able to find and so far it seems to be working. Thank you so much. 😊

I am doing this on Nov 2023 and mines have 8. reinstall system software and doesn't include the version number?

My PlayStation broke down during the first "reinstallation" and went straight to safe mode. The menu does not look the same and it keeps spamming that multiple USB drives are connected or that something went wrong.

I just had a power surge playing my PS5. With all of the thunderstorms here in Florida I got really scared. This video was extremely helpful and now my PS5 is back to normal. Thank you so much!

Hi All - I have PS5 stuck in safe mode (only “reset” option is highlighted) which throws error CE-100006-7 when attempting to restore from USB. Usually this error points to issue with USB, however, error shows on multiple USB sticks and all USB ports. Will go through the reading update file from USB, but goes to start copy/preparing console page and hit 8% then throws the error code. I do not think issue is with USB ports/circuit as it reads the contents on the USB . Anyone seen this before?

I don’t know what to do this is the second ps5 to break on me I did all the steps it acted like it was working turned on said it needed to reset to fix the system software when it turns back on after resetting after like ten seconds it just shuts off I don’t know what to do i’m losing my mind

Can go go back firmwares woth this method

[Arkham]

Can this be done with any software version or is it only latest

This just happened to me as well. I've tried both the reinstall and the update option. First, the update file route will go through 100% of the "copying" of the file but error with the standard "Something went wrong" message. After reset and downloading the 'Re-Install' file with the same process it will try to start the process but ends with the same "Something went wrong" message. Not sure if it helps anyone else but the only options mine currently shows is to either perform the system update OR the reinstall option in safe mode. Which, sort of tells me that the PS5 update file that it ran last night went wrong during the process and somehow bricked the storage and can't be detected since this all sounds like there is nothing for the bios/software to copy or update when performing these actions. At the moment I've PC teched around enough to know there's nothing I can physically do with the machine and have to send it in. So, won't help many but if you seem to be having similar issues and these simple steps he shows aren't working then it's likely you're in the same boat. If anyone has another option please let us know but it seems futile and the update killed my PS5 out of warranty. Nice $229 possible repair incoming. :)

what if that dont even help/work what then?

[realify]

i did everything exactly how it said on the ps website and on this video, capitalized all folders, made sure its FAT32 and by the end of the reset progress bar it says 'cant reset ur Ps5'. does anyone know what could be wrong???

[josebello]

You’re the best, thanks bro you saved me so much money .

[wraystyle]

Hi great video I’m just wondering if you still have or can get that system software you have the 2.2?

[IssaSabre]

Mine Dosent go into safe mode n it won’t let me do it thru the actual settings menu I tried like 3 times n it just pops up with my profile to choose

[timdo]

Reformatted using exFat got up to the point where it was supposed to list the update version number but on my screen that part of it didn't show. I've followed every step.

[johnmedina]

What do I do if it won't let it update still even after doing all the steps, the goes through the entire process leading up to the actually update itself. It tries to update itself falling every single time. If done everything and yet nothing has seemed to work

[shashankraut]

My ps5 shows the promt every 5 to 6 times after it will start " Too many USB devices Connected" and not even 1 out of 4 USB in working condition it will not detect my USB devices. and system also very laggy and sometimes it's freeze tell me what should I do
