If I boot my PS4 into safe mode and select the option 'Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software)' I can install a version lower than the one I have currently? Like for example, from 5.50 to 5.05, using a USB?
Safe Mode Options The following options are available in Safe Mode: Restart System – Ends Safe Mode and restarts the PlayStation 4 normally. Change Resolution – Changes the screen resolution to 480p when the PlayStation 4 is restarted. May 17, 2010 Hi, so today I accidentally unplugged the power cord when the PS4 was still on. After I plugged it in again the screen told me to update firmware via usb. Now I understand this deletes all your data and stuff so I was wondering if it was possible to save your data from safe mode or if there was any other way to save my Spiderman saves. Safe mode is used to trouble shoot faulty devices and software applications. PS4 also has a safe mode you can use in case you’re running into problems starting up your console. How To start PS4 In Safe Mode: To start your PS4 in safe mode, make sure the console is completely turned off, then press and hold the power button.
No. When you use that option you can only use the current or newer firmware versions. Sony certainly wouldn't make it this easy to jailbreak a console.
Sadly it doesn't work like that, you can use that method to upgrade to a certain firmware, for example I upgraded my old one to 5.05 to jailbreak it but it doesn't work to downgrade.
I know how but i'm not allowed to share it because it's illegal.
First up, the factory reset option ('Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software)') only keeps you at the current firmware. It will NOT downgrade the firmware.
Second, FORCEFULLY DOWNGRADING FIRMWARE IS A SURE-FIRE WAY OF BRICKING YOUR SYSTEM! Assuming there's no physical firmware lockouts (like the Nintendo Switch contains, as the system firmware checks the number of blown 'firmware fuses'. If the blown count it lower than it's looking for, it blows the number of fuses to match it. If the blown count is higher than what it's looking for, it refuses to run as the firmware knows a downgrade was attempted), there's usually some key OS files that get updated or discontinued with updates that could prevent the PS4 from running if you revert the firmware.

As a result, any downgrade attempts are done AT YOUR OWN SYSTEM'S PERIL! If you mess up, Sony won't fix your PS4 for free (if at all).
