Does not fix anything for me. I've tried all the so-called fixes and none of them work. I simply cannot use rest mode anymore if I want my console to power back on.

PS4 update 2.0, 10/28

I had the same problem with rest mode yesterday. I had put it in rest mode the night before, because I was downloading some game. The next morning, I couldn't turn on the console. The controller wouldn't power it up. I couldn't figure out what else to do, so I just unplugged it, then plugged it back in. The controller still wouldn't power up the console, which had me worried momentarily. I manually turned the console on, and it responded. It did an internal check, which came out ok, but it gave me a warning about possible damage to the console if I unplugged it the way I had.
The controller and console works fine now, but it did worry me for a second. Like Jester and Joon, I'm going to avoid using rest mode for the time being. I was reading at GAF, and apparently it's a common glitch.

My issues seems to be different than everyone else. Mine gets stuck going into rest mode and just flashes yellow. It sat for like an hour doing that before I realized the fan was still running on the damn thing. Either way the power settings helped me at least once so far.
Mine goes into rest mode, but then does then starts the flashing thing like 30min-1 hour later. Only way to turn it on after is to pull the plug and boot at the console. Obviously, I am no longer using rest mode lest it turns into a dirt nap.
Mine has the rest mode issue as well, I tried doing the safe mode and rebuilding the data base thing but that only worked once. I hope they get it fixed before GTA and Dragon Age come out, I have them pre ordered digitally and I don't want to leave the console fully powered on while they pre load.
I haven't had any problem since I stopped using rest mode, I'm still salty as hell about the whole thing though.
Not really. I wish they'd fix this thing. Yesterday it crapped out again when I was charging a controller, because it automatically shifted to rest mode after 4 hrs (I didn't realize I had it set that way). And then today, for no apparent reason, it gave me another error message and suggested I download the latest update, which I already had. Annoying.
I have the update but haven't used rest mode. I'll be leaving my ps4 off for the moment and won't be using that mode until it's fixed. I wanted to get Lords of the fallen and far cry on my ps4 so this crap better be fixed quickly
I'm still having problems, even though I've installed the 2.01 fix. When I'm booting it up, and I press the PS button on my controller, my console will briefly light up blue for a couple seconds, but then shut down. I'll have to manually turn the console on and then turn on the controller. I'll get a non-specific error message and it'll do a system check.
It doesn't happen every time, but roughly every other time. This isn't associated with going into rest mode, btw; I'm shutting down completely. Any suggestions are welcome.

Try doing a clean reinstall with the firmware on a USB key.
Backup all your data first and make sure the USB key actually works.

It's good to hear Sony took care of their customers with the 2.01 fix. I didn't have any issues to begin with but that's a quick response and nice to see. Then again, like i said i don't use rest mode and that seems to be what the problem was for most.
correction it still farks up after the 2.01 i went to turn on the PS4 from controller and it was on but the blue light on the top glowed on and off and no picture I had to unplug and turn it back on but was fine after that
This morning while I was getting ready I noticed my PS4 started up on its own from rest mode. It turn all the way on but I heard the disc drive spin and the yellow light flash for a few seconds. Not sure what it did and I didn't have time to turn it on to take a look. Either way weird as hell considering I just watched The Conjuring last night.
Might 've been the 2.02 update. Mine was off this morning but I had it on rest mode last night. Turns out it downloaded the update.
Yea that is possible. I don't remember if the notifications and what not are time stamped so I will take a look to see if it matches up.
DriedMangoes Yep that was it. Checked the notification log and it was at the same time as the update downloaded.
