I did this last week. Just remember, the folders must be named exactly: 'PS4' and 'UPDATE'. Otherwise, it won't work. Good luck!

Skip the USB. It's way easier to update online. Just go to settings and update straight from the console!

Just download the update file from Sony's site, put it in PS4/UPDATE on a FAT32 USB drive, and update in Safe Mode. Simple!
