My phone won't go into flash mode

Yo guys,

After upgrading my Lumia 820 to Windows 10 Mobile I decided to move back to 8.1. However, when using the Windows Device Recovery Tool, everything works until the 'entering flash mode' - stage. My phone just reboots 4 times and then the tool says it failed. What do I do now? Is there a way to manually enter the flash mode? Or another way to restore to 8.1?

By the way I already did a hard reset, so the downgrade is happening on an empty phone.
