Sounds like you were S-ON Rooted one X. You're phone is now a brick. You can try the WIP evita unbrick thread but chances are less than slim that you will be able to recover.
You can try warranty with your carrier, they're usually pretty lenient towards this sort of thing or you can get JTAG for ~$100
If you were not rooted, since you have an AT&T phone outside of the US, you may be screwed, you can try to contact HTC.

The RUU has bricked some stock phones for reasons unknown. You should be able to get a warrant replacement because it was HTC's software that screwed it up.

Yeah, I've seen this too, that's why I added that last bit at the end of my post.
Because he's not in the USA\Canada, though, I don't think they will honor warranty. I could be wrong, no harm in contacting them!

I believe that is the case. But as you said, it doesn't hurt to ask.
Finding a repair shop that can JTAG the phone might be the best bet. It sucks to have to pay to fix something that should be covered under warranty. But that is the risk you take when buying something with (probably) no warranty.
You can try the JET tool or unbricking thread. But as far as I know, nobody has reported coming back from a brick after the 3.18 RUU or OTA.

The unbricking thread in the General section is just a discussion, not a software. WIP = Work In Progress.
The JET tool in the Development section is software (Linux required). It sounds like you might have already found it, as you mentioned Ubuntu.

i called htc and they told me to send the phone to USA and it would take a month, apparently still under warranty, but I also found a video shown as JTAG repaired with my same model, but this way i will lose the warranty , so i dont know what to do.
HTC perhaps charge me something or I have to pay anything?

The term "apparently still under warranty" would be the main question. Did they say it was under warranty or not?
If its still under warranty, they shouldn't charge you anything. Your phone is stock, and you were just doing an RUU update that you got from their website. It should be their responsibility to repair/replace the device.
They would have told you if they were going to charge you. My only concern was the fact that you're out of country. I'm sure it'll work out

This is very BAD idea, to post SN for downloading.
Cause, you may BRICK (temporary) the phone. This update is only for TAIWANESE customers. It contains unusual structure. Do not try to flash self !
It will flash HBoot, but will stuck at point when flashing system. And you will get a temporary brick)

I second that mod kindly take the SN down.
plus it isnt needed anymore, we already got all the dumps required. we only needed it once to download the original. this should really be closed/deleted so noobs dont go bricking their phones. a couple people already fell victim to it.

I have a HTC Magic 32a from THREE Australia.
I actually had it done when I traveling back to Taiwan. They put a G1.Hero ROM on it.
I am seriously consider putting the Original Rom from Taiwan HTC to my htc MAGIC.
Because that ROM upgrade actually carusing a lot of problems.
Could you please advise how do I do it without brick my phone?

Well, this is probably not going to work, and it's very likely your phone will go kaput, but I need someone to risk this since I don't have a device for it. I have changed the version of the hboot, and all I need is someone to dd it to the proper partition. Again, it could work since not much was edited in hex, but still, very possible for broken / bricked devices. :| Do not reply unless you are SURE you want to risk it. Just so you know, if you're not HTC unlocked, you can brick your phone and claim hardware fault. Even though I dont condone that. :X

There were several people in the S-OFF dev thread willing to flash things to their phone. That being said, I'm fairly sure that Blue6IX might have tried this already.

Revolutionary only works on the original retail release software version. Anyone with more current manufacturer software that is S-ON cannot get to S-OFF.

Ohh this was a OTA update for stock devices that caused the problem? Ive been around I mean Ive seen all these threads bout this and Just never looked into it as I had S=OFF and It just peaked my curiosity as to what it was all about .
Well, the HTC unlock process will allow people to change some things on their phone, like swapping stock recovery for clockworkmod and such, but they cannot change hboot or radio - and can't downgrade to a software that can get S-OFF because of it.
They ended up trying to be too clever for their own good and if you got an OTA update the unlock process is broken and can't be used, but we have a fix for that here so people can at least do that.
Until the new update starts again officially any devices you buy secondhand from craigslist or ebay or something are more likely then not on the original release software version or the tiny update from last year that doesn't make these problems.
Once the new update rolls out you should expect any device to be screwed until we figure out S-OFF since the update will come to the device instead of the owner having to manually seek it out.

Umm I don't know what carrier your with or if you are still in your warranty time frame or have mobile phone insurance? But when I first started flashing phones I bricked a captivate after having it for only a couple of months so I called att and told them I was updating the phone using kies mini as directed and the power blinked and screwed the phone up. So they never questioned me they just sent me a new captivate.. I was lucky cause that was about the time the froyo update came out so they never questioned me just said that's happened to a lot of people. So with gingerbread updates rolling out tell them you were updating and the phone cut off and won't come back on. Its worth a try. I know a lot on here that has done it...

So im guessing i bricked my s3 verizon.. the phone wont completley turn on I rooted and tried to put on a jelly bean rom and found out that I put the wrong one on meaning I put a GSM instead of a CDMA which is my fault because I never payed attention to it.. Any solutions for this problem?
Battery pull did not work
Charging it did not work
The phone completley will not turn on no way to get into download mode or whatever so I need help thanks.
I haven't kept up as much in recent days but what I heard in the past was that flashing an international ROM was close to a death sentence since you end up in a qualcomm diagnostic mode with no download mode. I have no idea if there has been any changes, updates, or progress made in this regard or if a USB jig will help you. I would imagine a JTAG would still be useful. You might want to try on IRC.
Also, this is not development and does not belong here. The rules clearly state that. Many bad things can be avoided by taking the time to read.

Spoke with Verizon and they'll replace it for me...should have been more careful, I flashed the GSM version of a rom after rooting. JTAG looks like it's quite difficult though.

no need to be snobby, ive bricked one in my entire life and recovered it thru linux, when it comes to rooting, flashing roms\kernals, and phone software specs and hardware just to add im great, just didnt know how to fix this problem. this is my first htc phone and i love it. Ive always had samsungs before and i simply was asking for help. this isnt my first go round with development at all, i actually do it for a living, so if you can help me thank you but im not here to be riddiculed and treated like some noob that just doesnt understand the value of these phones.

I thought thats what this community is for, like minded people with the same passion helping and learning from one another.
if your using the same phone you flashed a international rom i would run the ruu again which might fix some things the original fix didn't. then reunlock and flash twrp.
