How to Unlock Bootloader Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N and I cant find any instructions on how to unlock the bootoader on the internet. My aim is to flash Cyanogen Mod onto my phone. I am running Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. My device is rooted via Kingo Root and I have fiddled around a little with Kernel Adiutor, but nothing major (mostly because I don't really know what I'm doing)
The simpler the instruction the better! I am a definite beginner in this field.
Thank you!

[Q] Flashing an official Samsung galaxy tab kernel

I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (GT-P7510) with Android 3.2 and kernel 2.6.36.3 installed. I'm building a customized kernel using Samsung's official kernel source code for research purposes. I do not need to install any third party hacks or do fancy things. I just need to flash my own kernel to test it on the device.
I have been searching around the web for a clean way of flashing a modified Samsung kernel build on this device, but I'm not able to make sense of the results I'm getting. I'm not sure if my device has an unlocked bootloader or not.
I'm totally lost in this. I just need some hint to start this.
1. Do I need to unlock the bootloader to be able to install a new kernel?
-- How a bootloader is unlocked on Galaxy Tab 10.1?
2. Can I do this using adb or fastboot?
I appreciate your help!
you are in the wrong forum, there is a good page for galaxy tab 10.1 look for it.

[Q] [HELP] Stable Android 5.0 ROM for Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000

I'm not quite new to the Android/rooting world, but I do need some help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 that is my main phone, but I haven't transferred my old number yet, so I'm using my old S. I spent about 3 days searching for and trying out Android 5.0 (Lollipop) ROMs, but even with following the exact instructions, either I couldn't finish the flash because it came up with an error or it soft bricked my phone. I decided to give up for a while and try a 4.4 ROM and it was successful on my first try, but I really want to use 5.0 as I have it on my S3 and Tab 2. Can anyone possibly link me to a stable 5.0 ROM? I've tried at least 6, but I've had no luck. Any help would be much appreciated.
Specifications:
ROM: Mackay 4.9.14
Android version: 4.4.4
Baseband version: I9000XXJVT
The phone is rooted. I was using CWM, but I was unable to have it with my current ROM, so I'm now using TWRP.

The first result on Google of 'Update Galaxy S2 I9100 and Galaxy S I9000 to Android 5.1' works, but I had a few bugs and found a better version of it. Which ones did you try?

I'm not quite sure what ones I tried now, sorry. All I know is they soft bricked my phone.
