Hi

What is the best way to reset/wipe you PS4 after installing and using FPKG? I want to use it connected to internet and don't want any traces of earlier use.
 
Reinstall the PlayStation 4 OS firmware from the recovery 5.05 PUP file and everything will be gone. Then setup Internet connection normally and done.

You are taking a step that cannot be reverted! Once you go online you need the latest firmware. From there on there is no way back to exploitable firmware such as 5.05.

Just use option n°6 of the recovery mode (initialize ps4)
But be careful it will erase everything.

It performs a full reinstallation of the PlayStation 4 OS which includes a full format of the internal HDD and thus all games, themes, profiles and etc will be gone from the PlayStation.
