probably not. it depends what he did. jailbreaking and unlocking relies on specific firmware and baseband versions and not all versions can be jailbroken and/or unlocked. if he updated it without taking measures to preserve the unlockable baseband (and that is what it sounds like), then it's locked until a new unlock is found, which might be a while, if ever.

what version is on there now and how did he update it?
