Any way to check if bootloader is still locked?

In the maintenance menu I just see "bootlocker allowed: YES"
I can't find "bootloaer unlocked: YES" anywhere?
(cant find "bootloader unlocked: NO" either btw)

That's what I thought first too. But then I read on some topic that the test screen was supposed to say "unlocked: yes". But I guess he was talking about the official unlock?

I used test point method. So I guess I'm still unlocked then.

Need to search for another reason I can't flash a custom kernel with fastboot then... I get the message "can't load boot.img". Any ideas straight of the bat?

Thanks

If you unlocked bootloader by official method, it says:
Bootloader Unlocked: Yes
If you unlocked by test point method, it still says:
Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes

To find out if your bootloader is unlocked or not after unlocking by TestPoint method, just try to flash a custom kernel using flashtool

Thanks,

Place the boot.img file in the same folder as fastboot, that you are using.
