In case you weren't paying attention, the PlayStation 4's recent massive firmware update has seen several users reporting a glitch which makes it impossible to turn the super system back on once it's been put into Rest Mode. Obviously, the Japanese giant probably wasn't too keen on people not being able to access their expensive new consoles, so it promised to get its boffins in the firmware department on the case as soon as possible.
Luckily, a proper fix is now in sight, with a recent tweet from the SCEA Twitter account confirming as such. "PS4 software update v2.01 is coming soon," the firm said. "And will address issues some users have encountered when powering on the system from Rest Mode." Unfortunately, no concrete date was provided for the patch, but we suspect that it'll be sooner rather than later.
Have you been having trouble with your PS4 since the last firmware update, or has it been smooth sailing? Reboot in the comments section below.

Happened once the day of the update, had to unplug it. Has not happened since but good to hear a fix is on its way
I still think it may be a model issue. Like maybe the first gen PS4's could have had hdd access issues that weren't apparent until the major os overhaul. It's just a guess and I could be very wrong. But my cuh-1115a jet black has been updated to 2.00 with no issues. Even tried rest mode right after update to charge controller. Has come back from rest mode every time.
Never try it myself
I always turn off to save electicity
mine turns off instead of going into sleep mode...
no problems on mine
No problems here either as I turn mine off too! Save electricity, save the planet and all that!
Hopefully it will fix the trophy error I'm getting as well. Not a huge deal but would be cool if things start synching correctly again.
I am too affraid to put my ps4 into sleep mode now. I usually do it when its downloading but ill wait for the update lol
@divinelite same here
ive put my ps4 in rest mode countless times and its been perfectly fine
I have the same problem but right now my ps4 is updating the firmware
@Dodoo the planet has no hope
It seems the update fixed the trophy problem. Hopefully it fixed rest mode for those who want to use it.
@Bad-MuthaAdebis lol, you optimist you!
Cool, not that i have had any problems with my PS4 since the update + yesterday i managed to log into YouTube via the Youtube PS4 App & save my Gameplay videos to YouTube which was MEGA-COOL
It happened to me twice, and then I learned my lesson not to put it in rest mode again.
It's available now.
Fixed, thanks Sony
@Bad-MuthaAdebis the planet will be ok, be here a long time after humans are gone and in a few thousand years our made items dust ...
I just leave toilet paper for my ps4 and it seems to ease the tension and smooth over the problem, take note Sony, your constipated device won't soil my gaming nights, not with good old fashioned TP to do the trick.
@Zep_Fan_81 humans are here to stay unfortunately for earth, the rest of the ecosystem is doomed
Well, I'm glad this is getting fixed. I'd probably never use rest mode, but stuff could happen, so hopefully this puts the problem to rest.
@LDXD regardless of human social failures and the inevitable demise of civilisations that will happen over the next millions or billions or years, we still hold the advantage of oversized brains so we're here to stay, all we need is cleanish water and a few bugs to munch down, not forgetting a loin cloth and human hair waistcoat.
My PS4 was freezing when entering "rest mode." I just installed the update and gave it a try. So far it seems to have resolved the problem. It does seem to take longer for all the lights to stop flashing and the fan to turn off than it did before the 2.0 update, but that could be my imagination.
I downloaded 2.0 last Wednesday and didn't start have problems until this past Sunday. I had problems worth rest mode, youtube login, playroom files being corrupted. Will download the 2.01 fix first thing in the morning.
Downloaded the 2.01 patch and installed it early this morning and everything appears to be working fine now. Before, I could not start the ps4 out of rest mode, now I can. I could not log into Youtube, now I can. The playroom was not working properly, but note it is. Good job Sony!
