Is it possible to dump original ROM before rooting the device? I was thinking if I could soft root Wildfire and dump original ROM before making a full root, so that I could restore the phone to its original state if needed (e.g. for warranty). Is it possible?

If you've already unlocked your bootloader, there's no way to reverse that. You can flash to a stock ROM though.
I will RMA my phone since I found hardware defect. In the meantime, I've flashed a custom rom and I am trying to go back to stock completely.
First of all, is it possible to go back to the stock without any traces?
If so, how?
Is it enough just to flash the stock rom through toolkit and re-lock the bootloader?

I'd assume the Toolkit is just scripting the same process.

I successfully rooted, unlocked the bootloader and installed CM11 on my Z1C, but now I have a hardware fault (microphone sounds terrible) and need to send the phone back to Sony. As far as I know I need to put a PURE STOCK kernel and ROM on my device before locking the bootloader? Does anyone know what I need to do/where to get the PURE STOCK files from? any info would be greatly appreciated.
Use the Sony Companion application to install your region's stock firmware?
Keep in mind that to restore your TA backup you need root. I advise you to upgrade to a rooted stock firmware (and stock kernel), restore TA backup (thus relocking bootloader). After that, flash again a full stock firmware (preferably your stock cust #) and wipe everything.
