Check that the USB port on the back of your HD 500 isn't broken like mine. I cant do anything as far as downloading from my computer and as a result i need to program everything manually from my board. I tried to have it fixed and no one would touch it, no warranty left. I tried fixing it myself and messed it all up. Oh well.

Heck, yes you are right. Left is global reset and I should have suggested right ... which does also work as a safe mode (with down as a deeper version of the same). Apologies to glen_mcenroe for the bad steer

Holding the LEFT nav pad key while powering up does the Global Settings Reset. (Not the right nav key...right key takes you to Test Mode where you'd peform the pedal calibration required after the Global Settings Reset).

1 caution is performing a Global Settings Reset will change all your set list names back to the factory names. Lucily all your stored presets (within your set lists) are unaffected.

Try a global settings reset: hold down the 'right' button on the directional keypad and power up the Pod. This does a global settings reset and can help. It is also useful if the preset you were working with was corrupt as it jumps you back to patch 1A. If you use this, you will need to check your global settings to make sure they are how you want them. You will also need to recalibrate your expression pedal (details here --> http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-2223). None of your homemade presets will be lost but your setlist names will be renamed to the default names.

If the global reset does not clear it then you can try a safe mode reset. This time be ready with your PC and USB cable. Now hold down the 'left' button on the directional keypad and power up the pod. Connect the USB cable and use Line 6 Monkey to flash-update the firmware on the POD. Make sure you choose not to overwrite exisiting presets.

As a final thing, if the previous thing fails, repeat the previous process but this time hold down the 'down' button on the directional keypad and power up the pod.. This is a deeper level of safe mode.

In each case:

1) Power off

2) Hold down the button and then ...

3) Power on

4) wait a few seconds then release the button

What if the POD is not reconized by my USB port? I updated the flash and now my computer doesn't detect it when its plugged into USB. So there is just no way to reset it?

CustomTone only stores individual tones unfortunately

Here are the 4 default set lists from the HD500 though
