I was stuck in the download Mode in my A51. Using SamFW FRP tool 3.31 i exit the download mode. Now only the blue screen pops. When I click the volume up to enter download mode it goes to a black screen mode and nothing appears in my PC. How can i fix this?

No idea what this "SamFw FRP Tool" is, but has your phone is now stating "custom OS", my guess it attempted to root and modify your phone's firmware, and in doing so has corrupted it rendering it unusable.

You may need to re-install the correct Samsung firmware for your device.

what is your phone's exact model number?

if you can get to download mode and you have usb debugging turned before your issue, you might be able to flash a firmware update from Download firmware updates for your Samsung mobile phone and tablet. just make sure that you have the correct firmware. the wrong one could screw up your phone as well. but this is only if you can get to download mode. if you can't then you might have just bricked the phone. you might want to contact the devs behiind the tool you just used and see if they have any kind of support.

i know nothing as far as samfw-frp-tool. why did you have to use it in the first place. what happened initially to the phone?
I was facing "Stuck at boot logo" issue. Tried to flash with the stock firmware. But I didn't know the FRP lock has to be turned off before flashing a rom. So I tried to exit "custom os download screen" forcefully using the SamFW FRP tool.

I was facing "Stuck at boot logo" issue. Tried to flash with the correct stock firmware based on binary and region. But I didn't know the FRP lock has to be turned off before flashing a rom. So I tried to exit "custom os download screen" forcefully using the SamFW FRP tool.

It's a Samsung A51. Tried to flash with the correct stock firmware based on binary and region. But I didn't know the FRP lock has to be turned off before flashing a rom. So I tried to exit "custom os download screen" forcefully using the SamFW FRP tool 3.31. The option is not available in the latest version of the tool. Now I'm unable to go back to the download screen again. It's just the blue warning screen after holding "volume up+volume down+Connect PC with the USB". Whenever I click the volume up to move next to the download screen it turns into a dead black screen. The phone is not being showed up neither in the pc Devices>USB Devices nor in the odin or any other tools.

well with odin the phone needs to have usn debugging enabled. if that is not enabled, then you can't use odin. it sounds like the phone is truly bricked. you might want to see if a repair shop might be able to salvage it, but i have my doubts......sorry.
