Device says bootloader unlocked but OEM unlock option can enabled and disabled?


Question

I have a Redmi Note 3 (INDIAN VARIANT Kenzo/Snapdragon variant running on Marshmellow 6.0.1 with MIUI Global 10.2) on which I performed an bootloader unlocking procedure via the tool XiaoMiTool V2 from xda since the official method kept denying me for some reason


I also want to let you know that during the procedure i left the oem unlocking option disabled and ran the tool


So after the device's bootloader was unlocked (ss attached)enter image description here
enter image description here


I noticed that the OEM unlocking option was still active (meaning I can flip the button and it will just ask for the pass and warn me and enable the option: again ss attached)


enter image description here


enter image description here


So my question is is my device properly unlocked? OR Did I mess up with procedure ?
I know i could dial *#*#7378423#*#* (which doesn't work in miui devices) or using fastboot method mentioned here- but the problem is that my device's usb port is damaged in a way that charging works but MTP or any other option doesn't (Yeah I tried multiple usb cables, brought a brand new from official store and multiple devices) or is there any app to do that ?


EDIT :
Okay now I tried by adjusting the chord into the port and running fastboot getvar unlocked(ss attached)


enter image description here


Now what does this mean ? Is it still locked ?


I would really thankful if someone can help


Answer

It would be good if you enable the Allow OEM unlocking option before proceeding to unlock bootloader

I tried by adjusting the chord into the port and running fastboot getvar unlocked which gave no value meaning the device is still locked (ss attached) enter image description here


Even though it says nothing (unlocked : YES etc), I did switch the toggle on for Allow OEM unlocking before proceeding to flash just to be on a safer side and successfully flashed twrp recovery and carbonrom and the device is running well
