How To Fix PS4 Update Issues | Won’t Update Or CE-30002-5 Error
Although most PS4 systems work flawlessly most of the time, some may hit a snag and encounter update issues. If you are having trouble installing an update on your PS4 console, like when an update starts but then stop for no reason, or if you’re getting an error code or message, this article should help.
Reasons for PS4 update issues
PS4 update issues can manifest in an error code, error message saying update can’t proceed, or, in some rare cases, crashing of the PS4. Below are some of the common causes for PS4 update issues.
Server problems.
Most times, updating a PS4 is as easy as hitting a few buttons on a controller. If you experience update issues or if your PS4 is showing an update error code everytime you attempt to download a new software version, the first thing that you must do is to check if it’s server related.
Server problems may sometimes occur if Sony’s systems can’t cope with a high number of devices updating at the same time. Such an issue though is rare and often goes away on its own. So, you can try to update your PS4 at a later time to see if there’s no longer over-capacity issue with the servers.
Incompatible or buggy hard drive.
Some error when updating are caused by a fault in the hard drive, like when there’s an CE-30002-5 code. If you’re using a USB flash drive or external hard drive and you encounter update issues, there are a number of possible solutions that you can do on your PS4. One such solutions is to delete any update notifications. I’ve personally found this effective when all of a sudden i started getting the CE-30002-5 error code after loading an NBA 2K20 game from and external hard drive.
Old software is blocking new updates.
If you haven’t updated your PS4 for a long time, the old software currently running may have a bug that prevents new updates from being installed. This is one of the reasons why it’s highly recommended that you regularly update your PS4, even if you mainly use it for offline games.
Corrupted database.
Some PS4 gamers have shared to us that they were able to fix their PS4 update issues after deleting their console’s database. So, one of the possible solutions that you should try is to rebuild the PS4 database if none of the traditional solutions work.
