Did you try restoring the backup you made before flashing the new ROM?

 

[chakribandaru]

When I tried that it's saying no files found.

 

[VDub2174]

But you can still get into your custom recovery? Which one are you using?

 

[chakribandaru]

Yes I can get into recovery mode. I'm having CWM.
When I tried again this morning, I got the htc logo screen and then a flash of google screen and then it turned to a blue screen and that's it.
It ran out of charge and when I charged it shows a battery sign for a while.

 

[VDub2174]

Let it charge for a while because you don't want it dying while you're in the middle of something.

Which HTC One do you have? (AT&T, Sprint, etc)

 

[chakribandaru]

AT&T

Look on XDA forums for a ROM you wanna flash. Download it (along with anything else the dev requires you to download) to your PC. Once your phone is charged, go into recovery and hook your phone up to your PC. There should be an option to mount your Virtual SD card so you can access it's files through the PC. Once you do that, copy the ROM (and all it's applicable goodies) to your virtual SD card. You should be able to locate the files from your phone now and flash them.

According to the filename you listed that appears to be a HTC One Google edition Rom.

Are you setup to run Google edition?

I would locate the AT&T RUU for the HTC One and follow the directions to restore it back to stock /working order

I tried to install new RUU but mine is S-on and Hboot-1.55. I could not find RUU for these specs. I stired rumrunner to S-Off but that failed too. :'(

The S-ON and Hboot shouldn't matter. You should still be able to run the RUU, and I know the devs made up a RUU for 4.3 on the Sprint HTC One model so I would think there should be something available for the GSM/AT&T model too..

S OFF for most of us is good for being able to flash different versions of bootloaders and also for removing the tampered tag in the event you want to go back to stock and lock it all back up for warranty work.

You could always sideload a ROM via adb.

 

[chakribandaru]

Thank you so much Adrian. I sideloaded trickdroid. I can login to my phone now.
