Well it would be unless you unlocked it with aerix. Flashing will not remove sim locks.

I have a w595 with a vodafone firmware and it has been flashed before. I checked the sim lock status and it is unlocked. I also have the aerix but i dn't have a good internet connection. So i want to know wether the simlock status is a permanent one or it might be temporal. Thanx

It should be permanent as said above.
P.S. Older platform phones used to act like this:
- if unlocked via patch, flashing happened to remove the patch and return the phone to "normal" state (mostly db2020 phones)
- if unlocked permanently, nothing could affect that (except changing gdfs or doing other operations with phone)...
so the newer platforms should be simple. Patch unlocked phones may get restored to "normal" after flashing which doesn't happen to be the same case with newer platform ones.
