Same excact issue… and my ps4 has had multiple issues from before: damaged files, always gotta re-initalize and rebuild. The thing is, I always could fix this with the “quick fixes”

Now I think that this ps4 pro is actually &&^&@@, cus now it wont get past the logo even after trying all of the “quick fixes” as initalizing, rebuilding and updating while in safe mode.

I’m not so keen on changing the HDD, but there seems to be no other way… i’m a poor student so I gotta save up.

Oh well. This is such a joke. My ps1, 2 and 3 were problem free, i repeat, PROBLEM FREE. my ps4 pro is hardly 3 years old.

Try booting into safe mode using these steps:

  1. If the console is still on press and hold power button until you hear the beep. The console will switch off. Skip this step if it is already off.
  2. Press and hold the power button until you hear the second beep then release.
  3. Once you see the PS4 display the safe mode screen with the multiple options displayed on the screen go through each of them and repeat the steps above until you have exhausted all steps.
  4. When reinitialising console note that this wipes all data on the hard drive.
  5. If it still does not work. We suspect the hard drive has gone bad and needs to be replaced.

If this happens there’s no fix, your game is burned out. This happened to mine because I kept it on. Save your data and just look on the bright side you may not have the cash for a new one immediately and why would you buy another ps4 anyway unless that’s your preference. You’ll have no other choice but to buy a new and/or better game :)
