@@iluvorange basically when turning the ps4 on dont press it, hold it down rather and then when it turns on you will see safe mode with a few options. Try update the software and installation and then it should restart and work 👍
For all of u in need of help, I system initialize and rebuild data base my ps4, I did lose some of my data, u won't if u have ps plus and saved ur data, but for the games u need to sign into with an email address ur data will save. Hope this helps 🙏

Thank you man for uploading this I had this problem for only two days but after spending only 5 mins of my day I got it up and running again thank you 🙏🏼
I initialized the ps4 and now all it's doing when I turn it on is show the playstation logo, then the screen goes black for like 5 minutes and then the playstation turns back off.
Sony is little bitches for doing this shit. I love sony and playstation but intentionally doing this to force everyone to upgrade a console is stupid and stressful. If sony really gonna do this then I'm done gaming or I'll go to PC
Pinkeye when new consoles come out the old ones always tend to get bugs. The company obvi will never admit it but they start doing this so you don’t fix, you just buy the new console.
Thanks bro this hellped allot I've been having this problem for some time and I finally found the right video I'm subing cuz you helped a lot man tanks
I just got this on my PS4 Pro of 3.5 years. Got stuck at checking system storage 23% and showed the "cannot start PS4" screen. Safe mode 3 to 5 doesn't work as well. Will initializing really solve the issue?
@@TeoAe. so my kids ps4 was in safe mode. How it happened? Only GOD knows lol. So the system stated that it needed to run an update and I needed an external update inserted into the USB port. Well I watched this video and the option I had to do was a hard reset. To do this you just need unplug the power supply from the ps4. Plug it back in, and do what's pretty much a factory reset. I believe it's option 7. Beware it will erase everything and reboot the system as if it's just purchased. Hope it works out for you.
Mine just did this tonight, and I got the same message. The lan cable didn't work. I'll mess with the other options later. Lmk if you worked it out and how.
