Hard reset on HTC hero

[TBK]

This will wipe you device back to factory default without wiping the memory card.

1: Switch off the phone (either removing the battery or shutting down by holding the "end call" button for few seconds

2: While being switched on, hold the "home" (house) and "back" (the arrow in the lower right corner)

3: Hit briefly the "end call" button" while still holding the "home" and "back" buttons.

4: Release the "home" and "back" button, a white screen containing technical information should appear, with a red message asking for hitting the "menu" button.

5: Hit the "menu button", the Hero will now boot with factory settings.

This works well
