No if it was done properly.
I would also try to find out what they installed on the phone because if they rooted it like you said they could have installed anything on your phone (don't want to scare you) the Chinese app is probably nothing to worry about but just be careful rooting your device gives access to everything on your phone.

Hey there guys. I bought my girlfriend a galaxy s2 off the bay, and its locked to orange. She is on O2, the ebay advert didn't state the phone was locked. Anyway, i have tried everything i could to unlock the phone and had no luck. Even took it to a shop but they had no joy either.
My last chance now is to take it to orange personally and see what they can do but i want to restore it to its original condition first as I initially rooted the phone and installed litening rom on it. So, just wondering, how do i unroot the phone and then put all the original orange branding/rom back on?
Really need your help guys, and really appreciate it

Really desperate guys
Go and flash a stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928&highlight=orange
Hi all,
I got my S2 from T-Mobile UK and have rooted the phone and also installed another firmware on it.
I've also unlocked the phone so it can be used on any network (as I was promised it would be when I bought it, but it wasn't)
If I wish to move back to stock ICS before I sell the phone, must I install a T-Mobile rom or can I install the Samsung release
If I do any of these will the phone remain unlocked to be used on any network
thanks in advance

First root the locked device with CF Root using Odin (see my signature item 1) than unlock the phone with Voodoo Sim unlock tool in Playstore, after it is unlocked flash this fix with cwm recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802951.
-Edit- It seems voodoo Sim unlock tool is temporarily removed from Playstore, keep an eye on it though, it will be back because it is beeing updated for newer firmwares.
For now call your provider and ask for the sim unlocking key.
You can also unlock your phone here http://www.sammobile.com/unlock/index.php?phone=I9300 , it costs 15 euro (creditcard or paypal) and you need to be rooted before the unlock.
Hi there! I really hope someone could help me
with my problem. Well first of, I'm an entire noob with
Androids as I have been a Nokia loyalist
(sucks to be me). I have a factory unlocked S3 GT-i9300
bought from China and was sent to me
here in the Philippines. I have tried
upgrading it to JB 4.1.1 via OTA and Kies
but I've had encountered roadblocks for
the longest time. That's when a friend of mine suggested to use Odin but the
mofo didn't tell me that there were
other stuff that I need to consider (all
the Phone, PDA and CSC stuff posted in
the first post of this thread). So I
downloaded from www.samfirmware.com an official JB 4.1.1 ROM for Globe Telecoms
Philippines since that's the network that
I'm using and flashed it on my S3 via
Odin. Everything went well except for
the part where I'm being asked for a
network unlock code! WAAAAH! My phone is now locked and I don't
even where it's locked to. Is there a way for me to unlock it again
without having to pay those unlock
code generators? PLEASE HELP!!! TIA!

I used to have an unbranded S6 Edge after selling it I missed it so much so I got a secondhand one yesterday. After factory reset, the first thing it did was install all kinds of Vodafone apps. As a TMobile user with a Tmobile Simcard I guess the Phone has been unlocked by the former owner. Or can Vodafone do this and still have all the apps installed?
I would like to flash the unbranded Dutch stock rom on in but in case the former owner did sim unlock it would I loose the sim unlock then? Is there a way to tell the Phone has been software unlocked or through the carrier?
Rght now it has Baseband G925FXXU4DPIT and MMB29K.G925FXXU4DPJG Buildnummer
And I would like to flash PDA:G925FXXU4DPJH CSC:G925FPHN4DPJE
Thanks in advance,

Flashing a stock ROM should not lose the sim lock. Network lock isn't done by software flashing. It's done with the imei. You should be able to flash any stock ROM including branded firmware and you won't lose the unlocked network
