Ok, you need to have come from an update that was based on 14.3.1.0 stock kernel, apollo gapps 1.3 is based on 14.3.2.4.

Hold the power button down for about 20 seconds and the device should power off then you should be able to get back into safestrap to flash apollo gapps 1.3.

can you get into safestrap?

If so you have adb access. With this you could push the twrp data from your pc back to the device.

This should do it...

adb push <folder-name> /sdcard/<folder-name>/

I don't think there is any need or advantage to making a new version. The only reason Apollo Nexus is based on 14.3.1.0 was because of how long ago I started working on it and the amount of work that had already gone in didn't warrant deviating from that path.

I know there are some that have managed to downgrade successfully.
