It has a USB Mass Storage mode started with the volume key at boot. Flashing with Tow-Boot is only possible if you installed it to the boot medium (microSD card, eMMC) on the regular PinePhone (not the Pro).

Jumpdrive is a tool to expose the eMMC to the computer, which you can boot from microSD card.

I get it.

The Wiki (PinePhone Installation Instructions - PINE64) suggests to me that Tow-Boot is already installed on the device. That section doesn't differentiate between PinePhone and PinePhone (Pro).

You're right, the section wasn't really written well. Thanks @wibble for the edits, I've also edited the other parts of the section to make things more clear.
