How to enter flash mode
Volume up + power
adb wait-for-device && adb reboot bootloader
You will need an unlocked bootloader. To unlock it follow the official guide by Sony.
Before you unlock your bootloader, it's a good idea to backup your TA partition first, so you can restore your DRM keys afterwards. This tool is known to work on at least D2403.
