Unlocked unofficial , now permission granted to unlock official - what to do ?

I have Redmi Note 3 SD. I applied for official unlock while phone was on MIUI stable 8.0.6.0 (Lollipop) , but I did not wait for permission and I unlocked unofficial and I upgraded to MIUI stable 8.1.1.0 (Marshmallow). Safe TWRP is installed and phone is rooted .
What to do now ? Should I continue with official unlock ? Could it be done if phone is already unlocked (unofficial) ?
Does it change anything significant ? I think I would prefer to be officially unlocked , so the bootloader doesn't ever lock again , but I am not sure if I can or if I should proceed from actual state .
Thanks
PS - Just checked Mi Unlock status in settings and it says - This device is locked !!! . But in Fastboot says bootloader unlock : true !!!
I'm in the same position, and I've sometimes considered unlocking officially. But, for the most part, I am happy with my unofficial unlock and worried that the official process will not work immediately, so I haven't bothered to officially unlock yet.
This would be the proper procedure for doing so, I believe.
1. Take a full backup in TWRP and be sure to copy it to a PC or somewhere separate from the phone. Also copy any important files from internal storage to a PC or some external storage.
2. Flash the latest China development rom using Miflash. (This would relock your phone).
3. Boot and log in with your Mi Account. Check in with "find my phone" to make sure Xiaomi knows you are logged in on your phone with your account.
4. Unlock via the official method using the Mi Unlock Tool... and pray that it doesn't get stuck at 50%. (If it does. Do "find my phone again" and try again later... and again later... etc. Sometimes it reportedly takes days. This is why I haven't bothered to do this yet.)
5. After officially unlocking, you could theoretically restore your TWRP backup (probably avoid restoring any weird partitions other than system and data in case it screws up your bootloader).

I followed this guide - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtoeZg6K-z4&feature=youtu.be
Update - I tried unlocking official without flashing dev rom and relocking the phone - of course it didn't work because MiFlash could see the bootloader already unlocked . I will not bother anymore to unlock official if actual state of phone is safe for further custom roms .
Just to make sure - can someone advise if I can flash xiaomi.eu roms from Safe TWRP without worries ? Do I need to flash Universal boot img patcher too after I flash rom ?

I went through same path. Now on LAOS 14.1 . You can flash .. but do take backup of all partitions. Also do try to find what your FP sensor is. You may end up in issue like this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3543397
Scroll though my other posts for more info.
The problem with Settings crashing , I solved by flashing Radon kernel - also FP is working with this kernel .
It looks like this Redmi Note 3 is much more prone to brick than Redmi 3 I used before. I went through quite a few bricks and failed flashes while unlocking and upgrading to Marshmallow .
With Redmi 3 , which I bought unlocked from Greece , I never had a single problem flashing custom roms - never used fastboot, edl , myflash , just TWRP .
So - no need to flash universal boot img patcher or anything else after flashing custom rom ?

Most guides say that you need the latest dev rom in order to unlock.
If you want to try with merely re-locked bootloader on your current rom, I believe maybe you can re-lock in fastboot?
"fastboot oem lock"
?

Hi , I just flashed fast boot Dev rom from this Nitrogen OS + Cm14 Firmware setup , as I got official permissions.
Now device is unlocked. [ Flash Dev Rom only ]
I would like to know which Twrp to use , now I need to get back to Miui official global stable with custom recovery [ need OTA , Incremental updates ] & also if I flash radon kernel will I receive Incremental updates?
ZCX Twrp is recommended?

question about unlock

after i touched some times "miui Version" in about phone and a message appear "you are developper now"
a new menu appear "additional settings"-> "developer options" ->"mi unlock status : Unlocked"
does this mean my bootloader is unlocked? can i flash roms now?
miui global stable 8.2
thanks
You can. Flash stable or custom rom, twrp
Yes,you can flash ROMs now. But first flash TWRP and make backup of your current MIUI installation.
I had the same experience. My newly bought rn4x mido came in with unlocked bootloader. I thought it was strange. I can flash twrp and boot to twrp but i cant reboot to twrp recovery. I had some trouble aswell installing custom rom, though i cant seem to recall where i was stuck. However, worry not, restoring miui via fastboot is easy enough, and you can even lock back the bootloader via miflash/fastboot and then unlock it in the official manner after 72hrs, which i ended up doing, and now running custom rom smoothly.

I don't want to brick my phone ..Any about this guy's ?

How to re-lock bootloader and make the phone factory stock?

Hi.
I have an European Oneplus 7T Pro. The bootloader is unlocked. And the rom is stock Android 11 (beta). Phone is not rooted.
I am planing to sell the device so I want to make it all stock again.
I tried to re-lock the bootloader but I got an error. Error said that it could not boot. Locking bootloader again allowed it to boot.
So how can I make the device factory stock?
MSM I don't think there is an Android 11 specific one out there, but you can certainly go back to Android 10 with it. Just make sure to use the right version as there is both a Global and EU versions in the thread.

You can wipe all data from the settings menu then go to fastboot and flash original recovery if you put twrp on, the lock the bootloader in fastboit
