i had a close save regarding the firmware update
So, I recently popped an SSD into my PS4. When I booted it up, I was planning to jailbreak it since I'm on 12.50. I completely forgot I had a Blu-ray disc and just wanted to jump straight to the webkit method. I went ahead and set up the Wi-Fi using Nomad DNS, but I guess it was down because I couldn't reach the webkit page. Then, I had this bright idea to try the easy setup with auto DNS. At this point, I thought I had turned off automatic updates, but nope, I hadn't! The system software downloaded and was about to install. Something just clicked in my head, and I went to check the notifications. To my surprise, the installation was already over 50% done! I immediately tried to delete the update file, but it wouldn't let me. Finally, I just turned off the PS4 and reinstalled the recovery firmware.
Does anyone have any idea how to get out of this situation? (asking for the future)
