Rename the downloaded One UI 3.0 Beta file to update.zip.

Prerequisites

  • Make a full backup of all the data on your phone. There is a risk involved every time you flash a custom image, and in most cases, you need to factory reset your phone.  A backup will keep all of your data safe.
  • Charge your phone to at least 60%. In case something goes wrong and the phone gets stuck, it will not turn off due to a low battery.
  • Install the USB drivers for the Samsung Galaxy A51 5G. If you do not install the drivers, the computer will not be able to recognize the phone.
  • Download the latest Odin tool to flash the firmware.

Once the phone has shut down, press and hold the volume down, volume up, and power keys at the same time while plugging your phone in. Release the keys when the phone goes into Download Mode. The phone will tell you that you are about to go into Download Mode. Press the volume up button to confirm.
  4. Launch the Odin tool on your computer. If all the correct USB drivers are properly installed, the box under ID:COM will turn blue. This means that Odin recognizes the phone and it is ready to flash the firmware.

Do the same thing for AP, CP, and CSC. Leave USERDATA empty. Once you have selected all the files, click the start button.  odin galaxy A51
