You are likely going to have to flash stock using odin. axura has a
Lagfix installed. It was a mistake to try what you did

There well not be issues after flash
Open odin, battery out, sim and external sd out, battery in back cover on, volume up and down while plugging on usb. Should be in download.
As far as roms we can talk once you get to stock

It should not stick on file analysis for long. You may h ave to pull battery and start over

Voodoo lagfix kernel for I897UCKB1

Guys:
Don't follow any instruction to flash this kernel on your captivate running official froyo I897UCKB1. I tried all advices and ended up bricking my phone. Luckily the unbricking method you can find.in xda saved me. But, i had to flash.back to JF6 (2.1 eclair stock) using odin3 and then went back to kies mini to get the official froyo. I am writing this for people who like to use stock froyo instead of any.custom roms. I had to waste my time because.some.people suggested a few methods without knowing it for sure. Most suggestions are great in this forum (thats how i used serendipity.for a while). But, some or one of the bad suggestions can brick your phone real bad. So, ask as many questions as possible before going with a suggestion you see. Preferably look at how to videos. If there are none out there. Then, WAIT!

It does work. Odin works fine. Also if you recovered your phone it was not bricked. A brick is a brick.

Then xda should remove the link for "how to unbrick" link. Brick is of two types. Soft and hard. What you mean is hard. What I meant b was soft. But, even soft.can cause serious issues. Post a video if you can. That will help a lot.

I did the sgs kernel flasher method. Heard voodoo voice prompts at reboot. In the end it said "lagfix deleted". I saw the same stock kernel after that. So, what am I missing. I did everything as suggested. Didn't miss anything. I think there is something missing here. SERIOUS. I HAVE ROOTED, FLASHED CUSTOM ROMS BEFORE. I think this is.crazy.

I'm Noob too..I couldn't download those roms either because of the security settings on my pc.
Once I "lowered" the pc's security settings I had no problem downloading roms.
I had to go into internet security and change the downloads section.
Hope this helps you..sorry I can't answer your zipped roms on brick question.

If u can download to a USB drive(or whatever you prefer) from another pc and then use whatever file you get on your PC with odin. I would recommended whithawkx deodexed KD1 and flash through odin.

Ok. You have a slow pc..maybe your internet connection is timing out before download complete. I've actually gotten that message using xda app. "Sorry operation has timed out"
Do you have multiple windows connected while downloading? Possibly slowing your computer down.
Just a thought but try closing everything on your comp except what you need to download the rom.
This probably sounds stupid but I am Noob and trying to trouble shoot. Plus this suggestion can't hurt you to try.

Help Needed! Possibly hard bricked Sgs4G

So I had GB bootloaders and 2.3.4 installed on it. I was browsing through the forum and really liked Raver's Redux rom, but totally blacked out i have to change bootloaders back to Froyo ( still no idea how to ). So my phone got into a bootloop. The problem is, i tried to flash the phone back to GB rom, and was doing it using ODIN, and brother plucked the usb cable off during the flashing process. Now everytime i try to turn it on, it has a yellow triangle that says" Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. PLease select recovery mode in KIes and try again. " Tried Kies, no use. The same screen appears when i try to get into a download mode, tried usb jig . same screen. WHat should i do from here? i am out of ideas.

OK, i flashed Stock GB rom with Odin, even the dwld mode didn't appear on phone screen, but ODIN read it and i got a connection in with it. Now its on a bootloop again. It goes into the recovery menu (3e). Says E:Failed to mount /data (INvalid Argument). What should i do from here??? THanks

NVM , I got it working now But i still want that Redux rom My question is : how do i get back to Froyo Bootloaders? A specific instruction would be really helpful, what to tick and not on ODIN , etc... Thanks

Flash kd1 or Odin ravers kc1 with all 4 files. You'll have the froyo bootloaders. There at guides out there if you search. I'm in my phone, so I can't link then. Sorry.if you have trouble, let me know and I'll walk you through it

soc is short for superoneclick (or system on a chip or many other things but i was talking about superone click) anyway you need the newwest version of super one click to root android 2.3.3 and up. i believe it is version 2.2
i havent tried it but i hear it takes a while. you could also bypass that and flash a kernel with root through heimdall. it's a bit like odin but doesnt flsh .tar archives. it flashes the raw images (zimage for the kernel) so you have to extract the zimage out of a .zip file. you could also make your own odin package but that means you shoud be doing it in a terminal window(look up cygwin, or install linux or borrow a mac). though archive managers like win rar and 7zip can work i have had issues doing it in windows (as well as success but dont want to risk it)

[AT&T][2.3.6]Heimdall One-Click Back-To-Stock UCKJ4 + Easy CWM install
I did the first step and sure enough it returned the phone to stock. I've been using Serendipity VII and thought I'd try this return to stock to see if my HDMI would work. It sure has the touch and feel of stock firmware, yet shows it's Android version 2.3.6 I mean it's got all the ATT bloatware, Samsung apps, the works. I go into settings and can't find TV out in the Display settings like Serendipity (could find the button but it didn't work) now that I'm "stock" I can't find the button! LOL
Where I am at this point is reading the stuff about getting root again as I have no superuser icon anymore.
Not sure if I should proceed to step two, looks to be fairly recent material...
Download Defuse 1.5"
Ok I did that but am reluctant to proceed after all the reading I did. I have a usuable handset still but the battery life sucks compared to S7 and still don't have HDMI, anyone have experience on what happens if you do the second step? It says you can get CWM and flash (I'm ready to flash back to Serendipity) but I don't see where it gives you root and I'm chicken to click it thru and try, been reading...
