Download the update file, and save it in the "UPDATE" folder you created in step 1.
Save the file with the file name "PS4UPDATE.PUP".

Turn off the power of your PS4 system completely.
Check that the power indicator is not lit. If the power indicator is lit up in orange, touch the power button on the PS4 system for at least 7 seconds (until the system beeps a second time).
Connect the USB storage device that the update file is saved on to your PS4 system, and then touch the power button for at least 7 seconds.

Select [Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software)].
Follow the screens to complete the update.
If your PS4 system does not recognize the update file, check that the folder names and file name are correct. Enter the folder names and file name in single-byte characters using uppercase letters.
