If you’d like to load up your HTC Hero with the factory default settings so that you can troubleshoot problems, you can start it up in Safe Mode.
1. Start with the device off, then turn it on.
2. Wait a couple of seconds after the screen goes on and start pressing and holding the Menu key.
3. Continue to hold the Menu key until the device starts completely. It should say Safe Mode in the left corner if you were successful.
When you’re done, you will want to take the HTC Hero out of Safe Mode.
