So i installed the latest marshmallow update on my k3 note(k50a40) and while I was checking its features I found that there is an 'allow oem unlock' option in developer settings. From what I know this option allows us to unlock the bootloader from fastboot. I wanted to root my device but I dont know how to unlock the bootloader on this phone. Can someone help me?

Friends please be careful about OEM lock in an unlocked bootloader.
Since lollipop , google introduced an option in developer menu
'Allow OEM unlock'
It allows fastboot unlock.
Also it prevent unlock while it disable.
The problem is we can't unlock second time after OEM lock.
It makes device bootloop.
My advice is
Don't lock bootloader after unlock.
Don't lock bootloader if your device rooted and/or custom recovery installed.
My phone is in service centre now

Probably because the bootloader is already unlocked.
If your bootloader was NOT unlocked, you would have to toggle that setting before unlocking it. Since it's unlocked already you can't undo that setting.

You can't lock it by developer options. What you need to do is do fastboot oem lock for windows or fastboot flashing lock on Linux. Just do the fastboot command you did to unlock your bootloader but instead of unlock type lock. Then select yes on your phone and the bootloader will lock.
Thanks for your reply, I got the bootloader relocked using adb after previously not working for me, I had to update adb fastboot files
I encountered a problem with unlocking the bootloader. To unlock it, it says in the instructions to enable usb debugging and oem unlock in dev settings but then i could not find any "oem unlock" in the developer settings causing the bootloader unlocker not to work. Does anyone know how to fix this and unlock their bootloader?
my zenfone 3 5.5" is currently updated to the latest update (nougat and everything else that follows)
which guide are you using?
The official way to do it is through the Asus app here. I believe you have to use official way because you are on the latest firmware and the unofficial way only works on pre-nougat.
I can't find the OEM unlocking option in developer mode. I have the fortunalteub (SM-G530M) It has Android 5.0.2 lollipop installed.
Because that doesn't have one
