I read somewhere that the AT&T version comes with an unlocked bootloader, how do I tell if mine has been unlocked?
It comes with an unlockABLE bootloader. You can do so by going to htcdev.com and going through the unlock process.
A REQUEST TO DEVS
There are different sources for developing roms now,but some of them have a MM bootloader which needs to be re unlocked again.so i request devs to add the status of bootloader(will their rom keep the bootloader unlocked or will it lock it).This would be very helpful for me and some others as i see there is always questions on the roms threads about the bootloader status.
PLEASE MAKE IT CLEAR:fingers-crossed:

How to unlock relocked bootloader?
The same way you unlocked it first. Or restore a backup that you made with unlocked bootloader.
Hello, If we restore à backyp, the bootloader is unlocked ?
Yes, if you made a full backup. I made mine with Alka TWRP, and restoring (never restore firmware partition!) sets the bootloader back to unlocked.
Ok thanks I restored everything just not the firmware, it's that ?
Check it yourself. Put it in fastboot mode, and do "fastboot oem device-info".
Hello,
I would like to know what advantage or disadvsntage there is by using unofficial unlock vs official method, besides not having to wait for approval from Xiaomi.
From what I've read the chance of bricking is higher using unofficial unlock.
Also, if I unlock unofficially, can the phone be unlocked officially when or if I get approval from Xiaomi?

I would prefer official unlocking as via unofficial method, you are actually messing with the boot sector of your phone...
I myself have officially unlocked, so i would say that you should go for the official method. It takes some time but it's worth the wait..
And you can't officially unlock after you have done it by the unofficial way....
Wow, thanks. I did not find anywhere you could not officially unlock if you unlocked unofficially first.

That's not entirely true, that's why glock.
You can flash the bootloader to lock the device once again, then proceed with the official unlock. I can't tell you in great detail, but I do know that as the SD variant of the note 3 has an EDL mode, you can flash the entire device fresh to an official fastboot rom, which will lock the device again and allow you to follow the official unlock path. The MTK variant you'd have to read up on.
The down side of going unofficial is that flashing a rom with a bootloader included will lead to an unlock, which in turn can lead to a brick. There are TWRP builds that have been made to avoid this problem, and there are multiple guides on XDA and the MIUI forums on how to manually avoid this happening to help. That is the only real downside I know of. Providing you're careful and use the correct TWRP or follow the guides to manually ensure you don't lock the bootloader by updating or changing a rom, there should be no issue.
My bootloader is unlocked. Can I take the OTA and still the bootloader remain unlocked. Or it will be locked and I have to unlock again.
Thanks
NO, it will not lock itself but be careful you have to install the stock recovery if you running TWRP
If you want more info about those things you can chat with xiaomi online chat group
No the bootloader won't be locked. Also never do an OTA without the stock recovery!
I don't wanna be rooted anymore. I just want to use the device as it is. Is there any way I can relock my device, which was originally on Chinese rom, that is now in Global rom latest September 2022 OTA.
If anyone has relocked their device on global rom, how did you do it without bricking?
Yes, read the comments in that post that teaches how to convert it
If you already did an ota update and was ok you can reset to factory and just unlock from fastboot. No brick.
