    I have 5.50 downloaded (but NOT installed). Does this create a problem? Thanks.

      No, as long as you don’t install it, then you should be good. I have it downloaded as well

      Just format your ps4 and disconmect it to internet. After download and install 5,05. And thats it!

    • Samaritan

      If you’re already on 5.05, you’re good just don’t install it.

      If you’re on a lower version and you want to update to 5.05, you should update using the USB stick method and via safe mode to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

    i have ps4 on 5.05 but the 5.50 update is downloaded and I get a notification everytime I open my ps4 !! Is there any possible way to delete it ??

  32. Mb

    What about vr? Is it still working? Also I am using a esp8266 too and I think I never updated the vr firmware. How can I safely do it?

  33. Barry C

    I also have an update file downloaded. Version 5.55. Is there any way to delete it? I keep getting prompted to update upon startup.

    Also having an issue, all installed pkgs are locked and won’t let me start them. Can any one offer any help? 🙂

  34. B C

    I have update 5.55 downloaded on the console and it keeps prompting me to update upon startup. Is there a way to delete the update file? Also, any PKG file I install is locked. Is there a way to unlock them?

    Thank you!

    So much dumb people in the comments. They are not allowed to use a jailbreak.
    There are so many tutorials and FAQ but ask silly questions here.

  37. Lucian Munteanu

  38. Berty

    You can remove the 5.55 update from your PS4 using FTP.
    Make a FTP connection and remove all files in the UPDATE folder on your PS4.
