Links Updated!

flashed it and it worked, at least once. I managed to do nandroid backup and then when I boot the phone, it has issue with Sim Network Signal indicator on the status bar, don't know if it is even related with TWRP, but it just happened after I flashed TWRP. I re try to boot again into TWRP, not working anymore, stuck on Galaxy A8 logo, and I have tried it 8 times until now.
