Root Goldcard question

[itchyfeet]

Hello all,

I've recently did the whole Goldcard and root thing and have flashed a lovely new ROM which I'm happy with. (was a Vodafone branded Desire HD)

The question is that now that the phone is rooted and flashed, do I still need to have that Goldcard if I want to flash in future?

Nope, generally the goldcard is only needed for the downgrade process.

Did you use the hack kit or did you have to do stuff manually?

Thanks. If you've already flashed and running a non stock ROM, the goldcard is 100% not needed.
