ps4 ce-34878-0 always

[rabih__h]

hi all , sry i don't know if this is the right place to post this , i have a ps4 , that have an error ( ce -34878-0 ).
when i install the game , after playing for about 30 mins , it gives me this error , and when i re-enter the game again , it gives me an error that the data was corrupted , please uninstall it and re-install it again , so first of all i thought its a HDD Issue , but before that , i initialized the ps4 , using the "initialize ps4" option from the settings , also same error , so i did this procedure but from the safe mode , by using option 7 , which is initialize the ps4 from the beginning ( i downloaded the file on the usb its around 750 MB ) , also i got the same error ( playing for about 30 min or 1 h ) ( ce-34878-0 ) . then i can t enter the game anymore , so i decided to replace the HDD with a brand new one , same brand ( toshiba ).
so i replaced the hdd and install the firmware again by using a usb , by the way the firmware is the latest one 2.04 , anyway , after changing the hard disk , i installed the game , entered it , playing for 1 hour , error ce-34878-0 , but now i can enter the game again , without the error ( corrupted data anymore ) , the problem is , when i re enter the game , now i can 't play more than 10 mins , it will directly gives me that error , so i decided to change the hdd again but different brand ( western digital ),when i changed the hdd , also same error i got , but when i turn off the ps4 and than on , it will ask me to start from the beginning ( time , date , connection .... ) like its new from the factory , but all the data still on the hdd , the game , the saves data the profile...
so what would be the problem ? there is no connection on the ps4 , the dvd rom can read bluray discs with no errors , can install games with no errors , don't know if someone can help me , and don't know if i have the rights to ask here , but i asked sony about this error they told me to take the ps4 to the service center , and i can't :S , and by the way , sometimes the ps4 freezes in the cutscene but the game audio continue in the background , and i can go to the ps4 menu by pressing the middle button on my controller , but the ps4 the picture of the game is freezing.
thanks in advance

Hi Rabih,

did you get an used PS4 maybe? I ask you because such error occurred when the very first consoles have came out. You did everything was possible to fix the error, so I guess you should send your PS4 to Sony service. The only thing you might try is to replace the new HDD with the original one, as Sony suggests. Sorry if I couldn't help you out more than this.

Hmm... I think you should bring your PS4 to Sony service, so they can replace your HDD with a new (native) one.

Yeah. Sounds like a bad HDD. It happens. If it's under warranty, call Sony and get them to replace it for you. If not, it would be a good time to upgrade. Maybe a 2TB perhaps Good thing is those hard drives aren't that expensive anymore. I picked up a 1.5TB for my PS3 for 60 bucks and eventually getting a 2+TB for my PS4.

hello Titan , well im planning to upgrade my HDD to 2 tera or 1 tera i dont mind , and im planing to upgrade it to SSD one not a regular sata, even if it cost me more , but the thing is , i changed the HDD 3 times , all they are 500 GB , all they are 2.5" , one toshiba , one Hitachi , and one Western Digital , all the 3 hard disks gives me the same error , but the hitachi and the WD , sometimes when i turn off the ps4 and then i turn it on , it gives me its initial settings ( means that i want to put the date , the connections ..... ) but the data remains in the HDD .... do u think if i use an SSD HDD , the problem will be solved ?

I'm not sure but there should be something like a CMOS battery in the PS4. I have only replaced my hdd with a 2 Tera hyper drive so I don,t know much past that. I own a computer company and can tell you if the Mobo can't keep its memory than it will mess things up because some things won't match up. On windows there's the Google certificate that won't let you browse on Chrome if the system time is wrong.However I'm not sure on the PS4 since it runs a modified version of freeBSD. There is nothing wrong with that but it's uncommon so people usually don't work on or with them. I would go to Sony on this one but If you have one already to play then I would definitely take it to bones and rebuild it. I have been meaning to do so myself but have no time.The best of luck to you.

On a side note faulty sata connectors can cause data to become corrupt

well Dugamagish the connector of the HDD in a ps4 is already built in in the board so i dont think its a faulty in a sata connector , anyone can know what is the error for that ?
