Completely erased Android using TWRP "advanced wipe". HOWTO install the OS again?

Hi
As the title says I completely erased my phone. The file structure seems to be there still from a fairly old ARHD 4.4.4 install. I did a Nandroid before doing this and it is backed up on my computer. Because it is an older (KK) ROM I'm on TWRP 2.8.1.0. I've tried to do

1 ADB pushed a version of that over to the device and tried to install with TWRP but it wouldn't install.
2 an ADB sideload of the latest GPE ("blues") by lyapota, but it didn't install. Does this take a super long time, as I'm trying it a second time. First time I cancelled after about 10 mins of no activity.

So, I'm in a bit deep here. At this point I'm even afraid to unplug the phone from the computer as I fear I'll never get it to boot again. Can I still access the phone by turning it on via booting into download mode/recovery?

If generous, can you walk me through step by step? Otherwise, is there a good guide that will step by step me through the process? A 2014 version of this thread referred the poor guy to the FAQ, but it doesn't cover this case.
