My PS4's also stuck on safe mode loop. I tried to update it (already 4 times) using wifi and an ethernet cable in the safe mode, also tried to rebuild database a couple of times, and also the restore default settings option. I've tried all of these but unfortunately, my PS4's still in the loop. My last option is the initialize option which will delete my data and reset the whole PS4 but the thing is, the gmail I use in my PSN account is already deactivated and in case I choose initialize I won't be able to recover my data. It's so sad because I have 4 years of game data stored in that account and also purchased games and now I'm left with the last option (initialize) in the safe mode. So for you guys concerned with the safe mode loop, I strongly believe the initialize option will get you out of the loop but you'll have to make sure you can still access and log in to your PSN account. As for my case, I'll try to contact playstation regarding the migration of my PSN account to my working gmail.

[@ossimakela3803]

youknow, i have tried to initialize it multiple times with several different usb drives, and external HDD's. done it through my pc and my phone and it still tells me that the ps4 can't locate the update file.

[@cranjismclettuce6380]

Then we're probably screwed for now then. I'll try to wait for another update and I won't use the PS4 for now. Sony's updates suck.

[@Chris_P_Bacon62]

I'm 2 weeks late but I want to say thanks for showing us how to disable automatic downloads for system software updates. I never knew there was an option to that. It's like you said, some updates don't require a restart to install, and if auto-update is enabled, there's always a chance that you'll get the "cannot start ps4" error when you wake it up outta rest mode. Thankfully that's never happened to me, but that doesn't mean it never will, but at least I can leave it in rest mode without any worries from now on
