Workaround for malfunctioning software update

Hi all, I received a new Sony Xperia Z3+ Dual (E6533) yesterday and first started it today.

It is running Android 5.x and I would like to update it to the latest available 7.1.1:

- Xperia Companion simply tells me in the upper left that the software update is not possible and also greys out some features like backup or restore.

- The smartphone itself tells it is already up to date.

- The website (https://support.sonymobile.com/de/software/) tells that it is currently not available after entering one of my two IMEIs.

So I was not able to update it.

Because I found a workaround for this issue while writing this post, I wanted to share it with you in case of you mess around with the same issue:

It will reset the device and flash the latest sotware version available.
