PS4 error SU-30746-0
“The system software update has failed.”
When the most recent firmware update for your PS4 console is not installed, the SU-30746-0 PS4 error code can display. Fortunately, PlayStation Support has its own set of instructions for you to follow in order to fix this issue number, especially if restarting your PS4 does not work:
- Make sure your PS4 is linked to the internet, preferably through a wired Ethernet connection to your router.
- By clicking the Options button and then choosing “Delete,” navigate to “Notifications” and remove any update files.
- To retry installing the update, go to “Settings” and choose “System Software Update.”
You’ll need to manually upgrade your PS4 using a USB drive and Safe Mode on your console if this doesn’t work. Make sure you have a FAT32 USB storage device with at least 500MB of empty space and access to a PC or Mac before you begin using this approach. Here are all the specifics on how to update the system software on your PS4 while in Safe Mode. To put it briefly:
Save the PS4 console update file you downloaded to your USB drive under the name “PS4UPDATE.PUP” in the newly formed “UPDATE” folder.
Connect the USB drive to your PS4, then press and hold the power button until the second beep to start the console in Safe Mode.
Update system software in Safe Mode by selecting option 3 and then selecting “Update from USB Storage Device.”
If you upgrade to a PS5, keep in mind that you may need to use this manual update technique for a few PS5 error codes.

When a payment, such as for a PS Plus subscription or a game from the PlayStation Store, is unsuccessful, this PS4 error code shows. You should attempt these procedures just to make sure it’s not a payment issue on your end, even though this might just be a short-term problem that goes away with some time:
- Make sure the credit or debit card information linked to your account is accurate and up to date; also, check to see if your card has expired.
- Re-register your debit or credit card, if possible. Be warned that you can be prevented from adding payment information if you register or erase your card information numerous times in a short period of time.
- If you can, try using a different credit or debit card.
- You can add money to your PlayStation Store wallet by using a redeeming PlayStation Store card, but not all purchases will be able to be made this way.
PS4 error CE-36329-3
“An error has occurred with system software.”
If this error number has arrived, your PS4 may have had a problem with data corruption. What you can do to remedy it is as follows:
By heading to “Settings” and selecting “System Software Update,” you can confirm that you have the most recent PS4 System Software version installed. Then your PS4 will restart.
Use PS4’s Safe Mode option 3 to update System Software if you are unable to access Settings.
If this doesn’t work, make a backup of your saved data to make sure nothing gets lost, then go to Settings, select Initialization, and select “Initialize PS4”. As an alternative, select Safe Mode option 6.
After completing these instructions, if this error code still appears, you should contact PlayStation Support since your PS4 most likely has a more serious problem.

“Failed to connect to the server.”
This PS4 error code is extremely similar to NP-34957-8 above, so check the overall health of the PlayStation Network first. If there are no difficulties there, then look into your individual internet connection to make sure everything is operating as it should.
