How do I restore the stock ROM from Orange as my phone is due for upgrade shortly.
I rooted using the Goldcard method July last year but I want the card from this phone for my new phone.

Thanks in advance

Just curious: Orange don't need your phone back for an upgrade (or has something changed since I last did a network upgrade?), so why does it matter? Or do you want to unroot to sell it (some buyers might want a rooted phone)?

The goldcard is only needed for running an otherwise incompatible RUU, not for operating the phone, so there's nothing to stop you using it in the new phone and using the old one with a different card.

Do I need the goldcard in to run the phone or only to install roms?

Since your phone was branded as orange you're only meant to be able to install a Orange RUU but the problem is, that doesn't exist.

So the gold card let's you install any RUU, Be that Tmobile, Vodafone, unbranded.

I hope that clears things up for you.
