Phone doesn't charge (usb pc , charger ac outlet). No red lights. Did all buttons combinations with no luck. It gets warm by the back camera area when plug to ac outlet but battery stays cold. How to know? Motherboard or battery.

Did you do anything to cause this condition (flash anything, RUU), or did it just happen on its own? Is the phone modded or stock?
Leave the phone plugged to the wall charger (not computer) for several hours (overnight) and try to power on again. Try both power on button combos:
1) regular power-on: holding power for a few seconds, then releasing
2) bootloader: hold power button and vol down, then release power button, but keep pressing vol down, until bootloader comes up, or you're convinced nothing is happening
Don't know what you mean by "Did all button combinations", and I don't like when people say vague stuff like this. The 2 combos above are the only ones you should be trying. Power and vol up puts the phone in Qualcomm download mode, which is not a good idea.

We understand that you want an answer to your question, but in order for us to do that you must provide as much detailed information as possible, your initial post was quite vague. Do as Redpoint suggested and have the phone plugged into a wall outlet overnight, try the button combinations he listed, and report back tomorrow.

Did all you said. Left the phone plugged for 48 hours, plugged it in my pc for 24 hours (no charging, not recognized) drivers installed, button combinations (hold power button and vol down, holding power for a few seconds, then releasing). Phone won't charge nor power on. This problem was after charging it and power it off by the power button.
So when you connect it to your pc it doesn't make a connection sound or show up as QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager?

You didn't "hurt my feelings". But if you want us to help properly, you need to be specific as to what you tried (not just say "I tried all the button combos" which means nearly nothing). And the one button combo for Qualcomm Download Mode is one you do not want to try.
Try to power on (regular and bootloader) while the phone is plugged to the charger. There was at least one user here that was able to get into bootloader this way, when for some reason it would not while unplugged. There is no rhyme or reason to this. But anything is worth a try at this point, right?
If the phone still will not power on, or even show a charge LED after being on the wall charger (don't charge on the computer, it doesn't provide enough juice) for several hours, you're pretty much out of luck.
Since you said you haven't done anything to your phone, meaning rooting it, S-OFF etc. What's stopping you from getting a warranty replacement?

If the phone is still under warranty, this is what I would recommend. Some One X's have simply given up the ghost lately due to hardware failure of whatever reason.

plug it into a wall charger, the one that came with it, or better yet one that is more powerful and let it sit for a while then try to hold the volume buttons to get to fastboot or recovery where you can let it sit and charge fully before flashing anything. If it will not charge off the wall you will have to use the Macgyver method that involves splicing a cable to charge the battery directly. It is really quite easy to do, so don't worry. Essentially you just need to get power to the phone so you can flash then charge the battery. take a usb cable (make sure it is not your only micro usb for the phone, any old usb cable will work but you will need a normal one too) and cut the end off. strip the red and black wires a few millimeters and get those to contact between the battery + and - (red to + black to -)and the terminals on the phone with the battery in and plug that into your computer. MAKE SURE YOU ONLY TOUCH TO THE CORRECT TERMINALS OR YOU WILL LIKELY FRY YOUR PHONE AND/OR BATTERY. get into fastboot, plug in a normal usb cable leaving the direct to battery one, and flash as fast as possible, the 5 volts is a bit much to charge the battery with and could damage it if left for a long time. once you are up and running again remove the macgyver cable and charge it up normally. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF THIS HURTS YOUR PHONE.!!!!

You can try buying a charger for the battery on ebay that can charge it out of the phone. If you have a multimeter test the battery voltage and see if it is at or above the listed voltage (3.7 i think), that will tell you if it is charged or not.

You need to micguyver the battery to charge. I had the same problem.go down to AT&T and swap a battery out to see if it works?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Take the battery out and plug it into the charger, then insert the battery while still on the charger. You should see the battery icon come up on the screen, power up holding the volume up and down buttons and it should boot into the menu giving you the fastboot option, choose fastboot then flash using RSD

You may also have a bad USB cable. They do have a lifespan, as with anything else (I've gone through 2 or so in 10 months) especially if used/plugged in and out from your phone to USB to charger more than an average user may.
Also, if you're battery is very low and is on the verge of a shutoff, your laptop's USB might not be adequate to give enough voltage/mA to the battery to charge it -and more so if it actually does shut off. The charging time depends on the charging current. Wall charger is around 850-1000ma, USB is usually around 500ma (for some older PC laptops, it could be as low as 200ma) That said, charging from a wall outlet power source will be (or should be) faster than vis USB to PC charging. The MB865's battery capacity is generally around 1735mA, so 1735รท1000= 1.73 hours to full charge from full discharge.

dunno if this will help, there was this one time when I was playing scramble and suddenly the phone switched off and just wouldnt turn back on. Tried charging it and a white notification light was turned on continuosly without any of the general charging screen notificatn (battery indicator)
What helped me was tht I removed the batt, set it back, charged it for an hour or so, turned off the charger and tried to turn it back again, luckily it worked out for me. See it it helps.
Couple things: one as apex said, charge with the stock charger if possible. If you only have a PC, DO NOT use a front USB slot. As they are lower power slots than the rear ones.

So the wife and I were out eating and my phone died. Came home, plugged it up and there was no red led charge indicator..... waited..... and waited.... it's been an hour now, still nothing. If I hold power the capacitive buttons just flash white and go off.
Any ideas on how to bring this thing back to life?.... I purchased from Amazon 2 weeks again and really need a phone now as I have no other phone.

You will need to replace your phone. Search the forums and you will find a thread or two about this same problem. I had to return my phone because of the same exact problem. The only solution is to completely let the battery die and then recharge for 30 minutes to an hour and then the phone should turn on. But I highly recommend you get it exchanged because the next time you use it, it will suddenly turn off while there is still some battery left and you will have to let the battery die.
same problem. gotta get htc to replace dat shiet.
Leave it on the charger for several hours, wall charger not USB, and see if it helps.
Could be various things. But one thing that has happened to some people, on various Android phones, is that the battery voltage may have dropped too low. Not zero, but too low for the phone to take a charge. In that case, there is no way to bring the battery back to life, except with special battery meters with a "boost" function (which most of use don't have access to). Leaving it on the wall charger has brought phones back for a few people. Its a longshot, but can't hurt.
Safety circuit is supposed to prevent voltage from dropping too low like this. But its not fail safe.
I know that is not what the OP is doing, just a sidenote: Some people will suggest draining the phone until it shuts down to calibrate the battery meter Its a poor idea, for the reason that the safety circuit may not always work properly. When calibrating the meter, its more than sufficient to drain to 10-20%. The meter is not that accurate anyway, and draining to zero doesn't make it any more accurate than 10-20%.
i tried that all, letting it die. letting it charge, everything.

No worries.
Mine did the same thing. Went 100% dead. After a few random reboots the days leading up, it finally went off when I noticed it had really low battery. Never to come back on.
Not even getting the red light at the top so put it in for a repair through my Telco (Telstra), (who are apparently the authorised repairer for HTC in Aus) and the mainboard was replaced. Got it back a week later fixed.
Phone had been unlocked through HTCDev but had no issues with warranty. Obviously a hardware fault as couldn't even boot.
on other phones i find using a charger that doesn't have a removable usb cable works well, and don't try to charge it from the computer.

after one hour of wall-plugging, the unit gains some heat around the camera, but no signs of charging...damn, guess I have to ask for replacement...
eh...did you root/unlock bootloader/flash roms?
I'm kinda worried that Rogers will give me a hassle for that...although it's a battery problem...
nvm...need to work on my reading skills...so unlocking bootloader is fine....
Just got the Verizon GS3 from my employer; and, decided to root it.
It received the JB 4.1.1. OTA yesterday, after being activated; and, I tried to use the XDA posted procedure for rooting that new build:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439
Did all the prep, got ODIN and VRALEC bootchain loading, until ODIN showed green.
While waiting for the GS3 to reboot, I knocked the USB cable out of my laptop.
Couldn't get ODIN to continue, and the GS3 won't boot at all...100% black screen.
The only kind of response I get is when I connect the GS3 to the USB cable, and hold down the power button. After about 20 seconds, the computer will make soft pinging noises.
I've rooted a lot of Android phones. Had lots of problems, but never actually bricked one...especially one belonging to the company.
Have a completely bricked this poor phone; or does someone have a plan to offer?
THANKS, IN ADVANCE!

Appreciate the suggestion, Kintwofan.
Unfortunately, I had already tried that...took the battery out; and, let the phone sit for 10 minutes.
There is absolutely nothing when I hold down the Power button...no sound, no lights, no haptic buzz.
The only time it gives any sign of life is if I plug in the USB cable, while the battery is out. Then the upper-left LED glows red...even when I put the battery back in. However, after about 1 minute, the light goes out, and the GS3 will give out three short 'chirps'
Any other thoughts? Have I killed it?

Unplug the usb from the phone. Hold Home+ Vol Down+ Power at same time, When it boots, then Vol. Up.
This is called Download mode. It WILL go into download mode if it shows a battery icon when plugged in.,
Then, open odin, plug the usb into the phone & continue on.

What happened was if I plugged in the USB while the battery was out, a red LED came on (top left of the front of the device).

The red LED doesn't go on, if the battery is in; and, there has been no other light, and there has been absolutely nothing on the screen.

Plug it into the wall charger (not connected to computer by USB) and let it charge for several hours (overnight if you can). Then try it, and see if there is any improvement.
Any charge light come on, when you connect the charger?
There have been some cases of spontaneous battery level drop, and the phone powering off. The power has to go somewhere, so heat is not a surprising result.
It can also be you have a battery or other power fault of some sort. So I would take some caution, and monitor to some degree while charging, just in case of a short circuit, fire hazard, etc.

Hmm, that is a bit worrisome. I know somebody had a similar case (LED on, even when not connected), but it was solid red (not blinking). He never go it running and did a warranty exchange.
I'd try to charge for several hours, and try to power on. Also try to get into bootloader, or power on, when its still connected to charger. I know it sounds strange, but there was at least one guy a while back, that only got his device up and running again by doing the bootloader button combo while the charger was connected.

rooted, twrp recovery , S-OFF
please tell me what to do once i am in bootloader
I think Uviz means to try to continue booting after getting into bootloader with the charger plugged in.
the phone switches off itself after 20-25 secs.
i managed to flash recovery again in that time.
i was able to access the recovery
but the phone switches off!!
its like.. i can do anything but i got only 25 secs!
Please help guys
The phone switches off while in recovery? Is the phone charged? Are you running a custom kernel?

The custom kernel would not load in recovery so it is of no consequence.
If it's shutting down while in recovery and the phone has a full or decent charge there's a good chance it's a hardware issue.
If you leave the phone in bootloader does it shut off also?
If it doesn't you can try to RUU and see if it's stable again but if you're phone decides to shut off in the middle, you'll most likely have an irrecoverable brick.

yes it shuts down in bootloader also.
Sounds like a hardware issue to me. I wouldn't try running an RUU, like Exad said it'll likely screw up and brick your phone. I think you'll need to send it for repair.

dont tell them and pray they dont check. there have been mixed results reported on xda.
definitely a hardware issue. It's more than likely you need a new main board.

Plug it in and see if fastboot or adb recognizes it
I had thought I bricked once and turned out I still had fastboot access and managed to flash a 2.14 hboot and recovery and get my phone back .
Hey guys,
Gave my friend my HTC ONE X to use hes gave it back to me a while later saying it no longer turns on. Ive been trying to trouble shoot but have had no luck. When plugged into any power source wall or pc it wont give the led that indicates charging. I have tried with multiple chargers and cables. The device cannot be hard or soft reset because the volume buttons dont work. Instead i have taken the phone apart and manually unplugged the battery but still nothing. It has been charging for days and nothing has changed. The only positive sign is that when i plug it into my pc it is detected but windows gives me a pop up saying the device has malfunctioned.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Device is bootloader unlocked S-off rooted running TWRP and Venom rom
It looks like your friend might have bricked your phone. When the PC can recognise it, does it show up as QHSUSB_DLOAD device?

It shows up as an unknown device. I don't think he did anything with the software im more leaning towards a battery issue.
Ok. Leave the phone connected to a wall charger for at least eight hours then try turning it on. You might need to hold down the power button or hold power + volume down for it to power on. Try these before and after disconnecting it from the wall outlet.

I've had it on the charger for a couple days i cant get it to turn on. The volume button rocker is broken so the volume buttons dont actually work. I tried taking it apart and pressing the volume down with power but no luck.
I'd be seriously second guessing what your friend did to the phone. I think it's bricked.

okay on the assumption it is bricked how should i proceed?
Either pay HTC about $200 for a new motherboard, or very a jtag repair done for about $60.

I'll just sell for parts...
The only part you can sell from it the way it is is the screen + digitizer. Imho it's worth the $60 to have it repaired, in fact I'd be making your friend pay whatever the cost of the repair is. He broke it, he bought it.

He actually already paid me for the phone and i upgraded a while ago it was just lying around so i let him borrow it until he got a new phone. I dont really want to sink $60 into a phone a dont need. Was just seeing if there was a quick fix.
You could pay 60 and sell it at 120
