People install TWRP 2.8.4.0 on supported FW (x.3.0.5 - x.3.2.3) through adb shell or with flashify app. Dont try this on your FW, x.3.2.7 - x.3.2.8 are not supported!!!

No, TWRP never bricked my device, I can easily go back to system.

If you can boot into system then good chance only recovery is hosed. Look in the recovery directory under root for an appropriately named .img file. This is likely a stock recovery and can be restored via adb or flashify. Reach out if you can't find the image or need to verify the MD5.

Awhile back I did something similar to a device running 3.2.6 (duh). Momentary panic! Restoring stock recovery was easy and opened up other options which I would not have tried with a borked recovery. Your choices are more limited being on 3.2.8. Safestrap + Nexus ROM is solid. I don't believe CM11 works with Safestrap. Rooted stock with gaps and sideloaded apps isn't bad either IMO .

Uhh, my device is fixed. TWRP did nothing to my device...

Ahh, sounded like you lost recovery. Glad all is well.
