A weird bug that happens sometimes is that your controller may disconnect indefinitely if it's being charged via a different source (like a USB outlet or PC). A prolonged amount of time like this could "hardset" the controller and it won't be able to sync back with the console. If this happens, your best bet is pressing the reset button on the back and turning your PS4 on with the PS button via the controller while they're connected. It happened to me while I was in the middle of a game and was forced to restart. Frustrating, but thankfully nothing was actually wrong with it.

For anyone having the issue that the USB cable is charging the controller but not connecting it to the ps4, you just have to try different USB cables until one of them works. It took me about 3-4 different cables until one of them worked.

If you have two controllers you can do it really easily with going into Bluetooth devices through settings and devices. Hold the share and ps button at the same time and once the ps controller pops up on the screen use the other controller to connect the unconnected controller.

Thank you bro I couldn’t do but u help some much worth a like and a sub
To help y'all, I had it aswell stuck and searching for a while got me frustrated. So let me explain. I did the controller reset stuff and all, if you don't have an extra controller like I did. Use your TV remote to go through settings of your Ps4 when on ofcourse. Most of the TV's will work with the remote that came with it, use it as your controller! Go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth. Try with your remote to forget all your known devices on your Ps4. (Click on a Dualshock and then get your hands on the options button to forget the Dualshock and all other Bluetooth devices connected) Now, I tried cable connecting, safe mode, reset and all that kind of solutions. Simple push the share button like 3 seconds, then the PS home button and it will flash 2 times very fast, bluetooth is now searching, aswell as your Ps4 does, and there it goes! Select it with your TV remote to Register. Now it has to be connected! Let me know!
This video was super helpful, thanks! I had 3 MicroUSB cables with me, but none of them were working. I've found in the past that for some reason, pairing only works with the original cable that came with the PS4 - annoyingly it looks just like any other USB cable so it's easy to misplace. I managed to use my TV remote to control the PS4 over HDMI-CEC, but when I put the controller into bluetooth pairing mode, it didn't show up. What worked for me was, I reset the controller with a sewing pin (don't know if this helped or not), then went to bluetooth devices and had it forget all the existing devices, and only then, when I put my controller into pairing mode, did it show up in the list of available devices. I think forgetting existing controllers was the key to fixing it. Hope this helps somebody.
