If the phone was properly unlocked in the first instance, it would be impossible to lock it back again as the unlocking process should survive any firmware upgrade. I'm somewhat puzzled by your question. Could you please clarify? The only way to test if it is still locked would be to put a non-standard SIM inside (i.e. any non AT&T sim). If it requests an unlock code, then it means it was not unlocked at first.

Were able to use the phone with another carrier's sim card? After fixing your phone, it will only work with an AT&T sim card?

Did you buy a code? If you did, the unlock code would not have changed as long as the imei did not change.

If it was unlocked when you received the phone, you'll have to buy another unlock code.

I'm surprised it became locked after it was bricked. I didn't think this would happen.
