My local pawnshop has a PS4 pro for $40 that’s stuck in safe mode should I buy and take the risk ??

[@FayeTheNerd]

for the past 4 to 5 years, my dad's ps4 could never exit safe mode. after building my pc and studying hard drives. I finally figured it out.

[@NbVebeh]

Thank my brotha now new how to do this

[@SparkleCorn69]

How did you access the hardrive to format it I was given a hardrive but it was formatted incorrectly how do I change it back to the correct format

[@marcotorresmejia8102]

Great video man!

[@ethantraylor2959]

i had this problem every time a new ps update came out. now after i reinitialize sometimes it will re read the memory and go to a black screen until it turns off, or it updates then goes to a black screen. either way it gets stuck before ps boot logo everytime. i replaced the old hdd with a SSD 1tb ps certified replacement drive today, the update file im using i downloaded 30 minutes ago, its calling for v8.5 i have everything correct, any guesses?

My problem is my external hdd will not read all of a sudden after I tried installing Firewall, some VR game.

[@themysticalgoat4250]

Does it matter if I have data on my external drive? Or at least enough room on it to do the data transfer?

Mines saying and error occurred turn off ps4

[@VikingVern7]

I have a wierd problem. Connected a new hard drive with more storage. Formatted it and it would show both but i had to select which one to use at a time, chose my new one and wanted to move all games i could from system to the new hard drive. It only moved 2 small ones and refused to move more with error message dispite tons of free space. Ps4 started freezing and eventually unplugged it. turning it back on kept freezing and kept restarting it and now it works again but wont recognize new hard drive. Will recognize old one and as long as the new hard drive isnt plugged in it runs fine. had to repair old hard drive but wont recognize new one still, plugged it into pc and that wont recogize it either. HELP!

[@ericjohnson9586]

Formates are different for one next it could because of the amount of power your drawing on use both hard drives at once just a guess is a odd situation

[@jacklamata2544]

I changed mine to. In safe mode puts me direct to number 7! The others numbers, ar not available! And than has that error continually no matter what I make? ,,file cannot find’’ I’m really freaking out. I buy the drive for nothing!

[@KaelipYang]

Well that's because when u turn it on you only press it one time and release it that's why you're only allowed number 7 to be your option. To get all the 7 option when u turn it on, hold it until you hear the second bebeat., that will give you all 7 options

[@jacklamata2544]

@@KaelipYang I really tried everything! 1 beep, 2 beeps nothing! Wenn I turnet on normally, it appears the PlayStation logo, than he he says to update the software! But it’s not charging the file, if I hold it until the 2 beep? It appears only number 7! Than ,,cannot find the file” but that with the number 7, appears only since I changed the drive! I bought 2, one new, one used! The Same on both! With the old one has appeared all options, but he couldn’t find the file, like by the new ones! The old I opened and I damaged really hard, now it’s completely destroyed! And I get only option 7! If you know outer tricks? Please let me know. Thanks

[@Preciousmiller1]

Good job 👍

[@Makingmoneyismyhobby]

Will all my ps4 things will be gone

[@da_joker-_-4206]

Anyone know why mine won't boot after it says sony

[@simonjack9699]

Yeah you literally said in your video at first you were unable to get into safe mode but then you don't even explain or show us how you got back into safe mode when you put in the hard drive

[@aatheni1a]

yes, he said that he was **unable* to get into safe mode before he change his hard drive. after he changed the hard drive, all your data and stuff is gone because those datas are in the old one. basically if u boot the ps4 with a new hard disk u cant do anything. to turn into safe mode, press the power button for like about 7-10 secs and it will make a sound "blip" 2 times, after that u get into safe mode. so in order for him to boot to the main boot, you need to update your ps4, just like he said that u have to use your computer to download the update and put the update thing in to your thumbdrive,handdrive or a hard drive. between those three u need to plug it on your ps4 and on your safe mode click reinitializing ps4. after that bla bla bla and click ok or stuff and after that it will reboot and update your ps4. then your ps4 will be brand new :). sadly, the problem is that u can't save your games and stuff cause its already gone :(

[@josephcazares1892]

Thank you sir

the pro hard drive is trash , we should have a law suit

What if my PS4 after all that doesn’t turn on? Like whenever it does the restart mine doesn’t actually do it and it stays off. Doesn’t go into the Installing Update File… Screen
