A big thanks to rrvuhpg for compiling the recovery for Xperia XA Ultra Dual.
Please thank him and not me for all his efforts.
Though he compiled it for the .100 fw, it's also working on the .111 fw.

Root on locked bootloader is not available yet. There is some degree of risk in unlocking the bootloader and rooting. Just go through the post but do it at your own risk.

Why did you do it buddy, I've clearly mentioned that it's for the dual sim variant. Has your phone started, if not, download and flash the single sim firmware using flashtool. Ask rrvuhpg to compile recovery for the single sim variant, he'll surely help you out.

Yes that's true but I never had any problems in my previous Z3 dual 6683, I flashed the 6633 firmware many times via recovery.
Only 2 possibilities, Single or Dual sim ( with A or with B in the firmware version) radio is an other part of the firmware.
Edit: Rootpack for single Sim is on the road, I'm waiting for feedback from @bimori

I don't want to argue with you, it's your phrasing that made not only me, but some other users find it confusing too. (Not saying who though.)
And yes, it should work for unlocked BL too, but if you've unlocked your BL, flashing of kernel is so much easier.

Yeah, I know about that, I just want to make TA, DRM keys backup before everything to save my warranty and since my SP is updated to 201 everything seems more complicated.

Backing up TA / DRM keys need root, which means you need to be back to Android 4.1.2 to get it, since unlocking bootloader will lose the DRM keys...
I have a stock 4.3, unrooted, locked bootloader
To root etc. i need to downgrade to 4.1.2 first coz i dont wanna lose my DRM keys. How do i do that??

Simple answer....no
The recoveries were really only working properly on 4.4.4, and that was only if you unlocked your bootloader and flashed a dual recovery+boot.img. For some reason, flashing a recovery to the normal "recovery" partition, even though successfully flashed, wouldn't allow access to it. Only the "FotaKernel" flashing (dual recovery) was working somewhat.
Theoretically, under 4.4.4, you could get to recovery by using "fastboot boot recovery.img", but it was ify-ify if the recovery would show on the display. I had to do it numerous times.
Once you've upgraded to 5.0.2, the only option is
a. Wait for a dev to make a compatible recovery (probably fotakernel type, or one that can be booted using "fastboot boot recovery.img"
b. Wait for somebody to create a modified boot.img which will allow adb push (to push superSu using up to date binary). I can do this, but right now am busy at work, and won't get around to doing it until sometime this weekend.
Either way, I suspect it's going to require an unlocked bootloader. But I wouldn't reccommend that until you learn the disadvantages and back up your DRM keys.
You could probably roll back a couple versions to an earlier OS (ftf flashing) and try with what recoveries we have now.
I'm still on 4.4.4 (unlocked bootloader and backed up DRM keys, not that you really need them for most folks), so will be working on it this weekend.
Thank you for the elaborated answer! I have unlocked my bootloader, and was rooted on 4.4.2 but was unsuccessful in rooting 4.4.4.
I will wait until a modified recovery is released and hopefully be able to root then. Thanks again for the explanation.

Hello, guys.
Today I made a full working, flashable TWRP 3.0 recovery for our single SIM device. But do you still need it? Cause I made it for personal use, and if you do - I can post it here. Just need your answer. Thx!

Great, please upload it! Does it work with marshmallow? Just flash it in flashtool? And is it hotbootable as well?
Yes please post it!!
Yeah please upload it. I am eagerly waiting for it.
But rather put it into the development section then. And a question... What do you think about building cm for this device?
So, as soon as I finish some test for DualSim version - will post it here. Need also some help with thread creating - it will be first time when I create a new Dev thread on XDA, so I need to respect all stuff like credits, devs, license etc. PM me who can help.

Hold Shift and then right click on tge window
Then "Open command line here"
In command line write "fastboot flash recovery twrp1.img/twrp2.img
Connect your phone holding Vol+ button
A blue LED will light up for a while, you will receive "Done or Ok" in command line
After that disconnect your phone abd turn it on
And when yellow LED will appear on Sony logo, press Vol+ one time
Soon you will enter the recovery main menu
twrp1.img for SingleSim and twrp2.img for DualSim respectively
This recovery doesn't have to be reflashed or rehotbooted - this is FOTA one, it will rest untill you reflash FOTA partition

To root your phone flash custom kernel from This thread. Then flash my recovery (still uploading DualSim version, wait 5 min), and through recovery flash latest SuperSu binary and DRM Restore (for recover lost functions after unlocking Bl).
Really really awesome, I'm so happy the device finally gets some love! Should be just as well be flashed via flashtool, right?

You can flash a custom kernel from another thread by using Flashtool. But to flash the recovery you need to use Fastboot. Maybe after I will merge kernel with recovery into one flashable unit, but I need some time to figure out how to do that. Stay tuned, cheers!

Am very thankful for all your help and knowledge, my resume is this:
- kernel flashed OK
- TWRP 2 launched OK
- SuperSU flashed OK
- drmrestore flashed OK (at this point I really start appreciate for the first time after months my device)
- Installed Xposed OK
Everything looking so good, I get some time installing lot of things... then I decided to make a Wipe cache / dalvik and unfortunately I get stuck at the boot screen.
Does you recommend anything?

I have the Xperia Z5 dual E6683 running on android version 6.0.1 and I was wondering if this would be compatible? Also what does "dsds" mean?

Yes of course it is compatible !!
this firmware is particularly for your Z5 model E6683, and which version of Android you are currently running has nothing to do with FTF flashing.
DSDS stands for dual sim dual standby , its a variant marker used by Sony.
Just download the flashtool (google it) and flash the FTF first then the kernel .
before that keep backup of your staffs .

I don't have any personal files on my phone since I just got it, should I still make a backup? And if so, how?

no need to backup then ..............
and for backing up you need to have TWRP .............
for that please do some googling in general ...........
get a overall idea and then get back here in XDA and I think you will fit in just fine ............ we can then help you out with the specifics I think

If I use the XperiFirm software, do I need to do anything special or just download from there and flash from there?
Will my phone be rooted if I use the XperiFirm?
I recently got a new Sony Xperia Z5 dual (E6683) running android version 6.0.1 (build number 32.2.A.0.253) and I was wondering what would be the easiest way to root it? I tried looking up guides on youtube like I did when I had my nexus 4 but I simply can't find anything. I'd greatly appreciate it if I could get some help...

That link is old and has instructions for E6653 running android 5.1.1 but I am using the E6683 running android 6.0.1. Do you have instructions that don't involve downgrading to an older version? I want to stay on marshmallow. Also I'm new to the whole rooting thing but I'm quite sure if I try to flash the E6653 firmware onto my E6683 I'd likely brick my device. I went to the instructions you posted and found that you had issues rooting it...

I don't understand, what is that link for? Would doing that even root my device? And I don't see the E6683 model even mentioned... What would following those instructions even do?
When I rooted my nexus 4 there were millions of guides everywhere and even videos of it, but I can't find anything for my Z5....
All I'm asking for is step by step instructions to root my Xperia Z5 dual E6683 running android version 6.0.1..................

If you don't want to loose x-reality and other sony functions, then you have to downgrade to Lollipop to backup your TA partition which contains DRM files specific to your device. Then you can unlock bootloader and upgrade to MM and root it.
If you don't care about all these functions then you can simply unlock your bootloader and flash patched kernel.
And that guide I mentioned above is universal, you just need to take to pickup files for your device.

I have same device as OP, problem is I can't find FW files to downgrade to LP. Is there a post here on how to root E6683 MM? I can't seem to find any. Thanks in advance.

Exactly my issue, none of the guides I've seen so far go into detail for how to go from a stock MM Xperia Z5 Dual (E6683) to rooted with MM...

I do care about those features, but I won't dare do anything to my phone unless there are specific instructions for my model. I will not attempt to follow instructions for rooting a different model since I don't want to brick it.

Been searching for 5 hours, none really seem to help much from what I have searched. I'll update you when I found a working one.

I haven't done anything yet, all I've done is enable USB debugging. And yea, please do update me when you find a working root, I've searched all of youtube and I can't find anything relevant. I want to be able to root my phone and install some Xposed modules so I can actually use my phone...

After you root yours can you help me some time? I'm not very good with this rooting stuff and I find the instructions a little too general which leads me to believe I might brick my phone out of a small misunderstanding...

Sure! I am still downloading the Custom ROMs I wan to try. I was able to have TWRP on my stock kernel and managed to boot to it. Of course I have done all of it after unlocking BL.

Alright, whenever you have time I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
Edit: Just as an FYI, the current state of my phone is essentially just out of box new and I haven't done anything yet.

I see, well as of the thread I shared, you have to downgrade to LP for you to back up DRM, which will be deleted once you unlock your BL

How do I downgrade to LP? And how do I back up my phone's DRM? Is it not possible to backup and unlock the BL while on MM?

BL unlock can be done even on MM, problem is when you unlock the BL, it wipes the DRM which contains keys that are being used by some xperia apps. Which means that it will not function properly, or will not function at all.
As I have read, only in LP can DRM be backed up, you can search for the it in the same thread that I shared. To downgrade is the same when you upgrade using flashtool.
