Okay im having an issue with swapping my hdd. The original drive committed suicide so i decided to upgrade it instead of replacing it. So i bought and installed a seagate firecuda 1tb sata hybrid hard drive( i know small memory) then i bought a 16 gig flashdrive and downloaded the 5.53-01 update file. But when i insert it, the ps4 reads "cannot find the update file". Any help is appreciated.

Have you extracted the update file or is it still compressed? Have you put 'just' the extracted update file on the USB - not the whole folder?

Why can't life be like gaming? Why can't I restart from an earlier checkpoint??

Feel free to add me but please send a message so I know where you know me from...

make sure you have the right file. When I upgraded a couple of years back I grabbed the update file, rather than the main OS file... and had the same message...

I stood there chattering in excitement, like a necrophile at a bus crash....

Im not for sure if its compressed or not. A friend put the file on the flash drive for me and said it was the 490 mb file.

@Sgt11bangbang That doesn't sound large enough to be the OS - maybe just the latest update but you need the OS first....
