I tried to update my Sony xperia z C6603 to lolipop through flashtool but it stuck on flashing data.After 2 hours I removed my phone and turned it on but it won't turn on now it say Update failed.Now I downloaded kitkat frimware from xperiafirm and tried to install it again stuck on Checking header.

Download flashtool and a new FTF file > remove both SD and SIM cards > connect your phone to a wall charger > press and hold power & volume up for 10 seconds > let it charge for 1 hour > flash the phone either with flashtool or repair the phone with PCC

@abeer04

Connect the phone to a wall charger > press and hold power & volume up for 10 seconds > let it charge for 3 hours > even if it doesn't seem to be working

It's not ideal, could you try a different cable/charger?

@abeer04

once the phone turns on > press and hold power & volume up for few seconds again, this might shut down the phone completely.

@abeer04

How about this

run PCC on your computer > follow the steps to repair the phoen > once you are promted to connect the phone > press and hold the power and volume up button > once the phone it's off > release the volume and power keys > press the volume key > connect the usb cable, try this few times.
