The PS4 was a legendary console from the previous generation that reshaped the gaming industry’s development pipeline with its gorgeous and top-notch exclusives like The Last of Us 2 and God of War: Ragnarok.
Still, PS4 continues to strive even during the reign of its successor: PlayStation 5. While Sony continues to support PS4’s life cycle, it faces numerous errors occasionally due to their entire focus being on the PS5. One of the infamous errors of the PS4 is Error SU-30746-0, which is vague and pops up during a failed system update. Fortunately, there are numerous ways to fix it, and if you’re wondering how you can do so, this guide will explain its reasons and fixes to you in detail.
How to Fix PS4 Error SU-30726-0
The PS4 error SU-30746-0 occurs due to a faulty software update installation; the culprit can be anything. However, through various fixes, you can fix this repeating and annoying error.
Update With an Ethernet Cable
A software update is downloaded in chunks and can face irregularities with a wireless network connection; a single corrupt chunk can ruin the update’s entire integrity. Downloading the update with an Ethernet cable will enable your PlayStation 4 to download the data chunks seamlessly.
However, before redownloading the software update file, you must delete the corrupted download. Here’s how you can do it:
- Open Notifications
- Press the Options button on the update file
- Press Delete
Simply plug in the Ethernet cable in its respective slot behind your PlayStation 4 and redownload the software update.
Manually Installing Software Update (Safe Mode)
If the automatic software update installation process keeps bugging out, you can manually install it through the PlayStation 4’s Safe Mode. To boot your PS4 into Safe Mode, hold the power button and release it on the second beep.
From the Safe Mode menu, press Cross on Update System Software. With this, your console will download and install the update file.
Manually Installing Software Update (USB)
To manually install your PS4’s software update with a USB, below you can find the entire process:
- Plug your USB drive into your PC/Laptop and format it as FAT32 or exFAT
- Create a “PS4″ folder and then a “Update” folder inside the PS4 folder in your USB drive
- Visit PS4’s update webpage and from the “Update System Software” section, download the update file, move it into the “Update” folder and rename the file to “PS4UPDATE.PUP”
- Boot your console into Safe Mode and press Cross on Update System Software
- Select Update from USB Storage Device and OK
If none of these fixes work for you, PlayStation support can help you with the problem.
