Locked bootloader?!

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?

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.

Cant unlock bootloader, help!

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.

Question about OEM unlock in Oreo

Hi guys
I installed the Nougat Update and then i enabled the OEM unlock and then updated the phone to Oreo
Now here is the problem
Developer options were enabled and accidently i disabled them.
I know there is no option of OEM in oreo update.
Now my question is
Will OEM unlock be enable if i enable the developer options or i have to do it all over again.
Should i need to install nougat then enable OEM and then oreo update.
Or this OEM will be Enabled?
Please help.
