First, format a USB drive to FAT32. Next, create these folders: PS4 > UPDATE. Download the update file from the PlayStation website and save it in the UPDATE folder as PS4UPDATE.PUP. Plug the USB into your PS4, go to Safe Mode, and pick Update System Software.

I did this last week. Just remember, the folders must be named exactly: 'PS4' and 'UPDATE'. Otherwise, it won't work. Good luck!

Skip the USB. It's way easier to update online. Just go to settings and update straight from the console!
