You need flashtool to install it (obviously)

Flashtool

IMPORTANT!!!!

YOU MUST USE FLASHTOOL VERSION 0.9.23.2 AS OLDER VERSIONS DON'T SEE NOUGAT TFT FILE

How to flash:

Download Flashtool 0.9.23.1 and then download x10flasher.jar from same website to update it to 0.9.23.2 this step is important as 0.9.23.1 doesn't see Nougat TFT file

Install Drivers for your Xperia Z3+/Z3+Dual Sim they can be found in flashtool folder

Launch flashtool wait for it to initialise

Click lightning symbol

You will see a selection flashmode and fastboot mode (select flashmode)

Point flashtool to location of tft file in my case it was Downloads folder

Then click ok it will appear il the list click it select the firmware and tick everything in wipe section to do a clean install (doing dirty install may cause issues so do it at your own risk)

Just in case i recommend removing SD card before flashing

Then click ok wait for it to initialize the firmware file then it will pop up asking to plug in your device

Your device has to be off before plugging in

Hold volume down and plug it in

Let it install the drivers and it should start installing

DON'T DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE UNLESS YOU WANT A POSSIBLE BRICK

There is a small chance of Flashtool failing first time because of missing drivers therefore if it does make sure all drivers are installed and try again.

After a while (7 mins in my case) it will say done please disconnect your device

Disconnect your Z3+ and boot it up

Boom you're done

Hit that almighty thanks button if this helped bois

*UPDATE*

After few days of usage of Nougat firmware i can say that

*Performance Improved UI is really fast and smooth i can even play gta san andreas on max settings 60+fps now :D*

*Battery seems good*

*Camera seems better quality vise than marshmallow*

*It doesn't heat as much as as marshmallow did don't get me wrong its still warm but not warmer than kitty cats belly ^_^ anyhow its better than marshmallow P.S it will still get quite hot if you plan on gaming shooting 4k or do other CPU intensive tasks but for casual usage "playing with UI flicking facebook and things among those lines don't really heat xperia much"*

*Multitasking splitscreen call it whatever you want is very useful works smoothly and in general is nice feature to have*

Overall i like Nougat update and recommend installing it

HULK SMASH THAT THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED YOU :D
