If you want to flash a stock firmware on your Samsung Galaxy M51, you can do so by following the detailed guide below. Listed below you will find all the proper links to download firmware files. Furthermore, we will go over some of the reasons why you might want to flash a stock firmware in the first place.
The Samsung Galaxy M51 comes with Android 10 One UI 2.1 out of the box. However, you can install custom firmwares or ROMs which completely change the software of the phone. These ROMs are great if you want freedom and more customizability. But if something goes wrong, for example, the phone becomes slow or gets bricked (stuck in a boot loop), it is a good idea to flash a stock firmware.

Why Flash Stock Firmware on your Samsung Galaxy M51
- Revert back to stock: If you have modified the current firmware or have installed a custom ROM, flashing a stock firmware is a good way to revert your phone back to stock. The new firmware will overwrite the old one, and reset everything.
- Fix a bricked device: When users install a ROM or mod that is not compatible with their phone model, they brick their phones. A bricked phone gets stuck in a boot loop and fails to boot up the OS.
Note: This process is relatively safe. It is a routine procedure to fix some of the most common issues with Samsung phones. Please follow the tutorial below very carefully and do not miss any of the steps. If you do not do as mentioned, you may end up bricking and damaging your phone to the point of no return. We are not held responsible if you damage your phone. Please proceed at your own risk.
