You can flash the factory image if your bootloader is unlocked.
Just get the base factory image from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerhead and flash it in fastboot mode. If you use the script included, it will wipe your device.

When i bought my NS, I had Stock 2.3.4 GB and a different baseband.
I immediately unlock the bootloader, rooted it and flash CWM. And I did a CWM Backup of the stock 2.3.4 Rooted.
I decided to use the warranty, and i'd like to RELOCK the bootloader.
I reverted back to the stock 2.3.4 Rooted.
I Think the procedure to return to factory model is the following:
1flash the previous baseband in CWM;
2go to fastboot mode, type ADB RELOCK BOOTLOADER and reboot.
My fear is that, with the rom rooted, It won't boot up!!!
Any alternatives?

Here's a real straight-forward guide for n00bs. if you've got an idea of what your doing, which it sounds like, then I'll try to explain it.
first, you need to flash an OTA stock ROM because this is what will overwrite CWM with stock recovery.
then you need to do a factory reset
then reboot into fastboot and connect to your pc
I don't want to type out every version here, but skip to step 16 of that guide and it will have the cmd prompts for each platform (Windows/Mac/Linux)
I'm sure you can do it from there.
HI
Last week I unlocked my boot loader, installed CWM and rooted using SuperSU. I'm still on Stock 4.4
The company I work for has decided we have to return all phone to the office.. so I need to restore this as was.
Can I unroot using SuperSU ?
Flash stock recovery.img
Reset tamper flag and lock the boot loader ?
Is that it ? if is is where do I get the stock recovery and files needed for tamper flag and bootloader ?
Many Thanks

There is a sticky thread in general that covers this.

I want to flash the lollipop factory image. My phone is on 4.4.4 as an unlocked bootloader and is rooted. Do i have to return to stock to flash the image?
Thanks in advance
when flashing a factory img, you wipe out your partitions. why would you have to flash stock for that? also, you would have to reroot. why not just flash a flashable zip of lollipop stock or aosp? found in the android development section for the n5.
I have 210.12.40.falcon_umts.EURetail.en.EU ROM installed on my XT1032.
I also have TWRP recovery. I want to install Lollipop OTA so I have to get back to stock recovery.
I tried to flash recovery.img from https://mega.co.nz/#!HRpRTR4Q!GNPL3a1Syc8vwholky1wNNfX4rQ-24swytFM6cUVowM via fastboot but it's not working (red triangle). How to do that?
You need to flash back to stock 4.4.4 with no root and stock recovey, update Motorola Services app in the play store, then check for OTA updates..

Please read before answering.
I have stock 4.4.4 and I have OTA avaliable. But I can't install it with custom recovery.
My problem is only that I can't install stock recovery.
Did you unzip the file and try to flash the stock recovery using fastboot?
You did not mention whether your ROM was rooted, had any apps removed, etc,. and this is why I suggest re-flashing to make sure you have a completely stock ROM.
You have the EU retail ROM on your phone and the link is for the Retail GB. Not sure if both ROMs use the same recovery and partition layout.
I've just finished flashing stock recovery, this is the guide I used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/gpe-ota-lrx21z-5-0-1-xt1033-xt1032-t2969847
You're going to have to download mfastbootv2, Minimal ADB and Fastboot and the batch files, then mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img and I guess you're done.
Though I've did the whole tutorial, so I'm not sure if that one command is enough if you only want to flash recovery, but I think that's all you need.

So, for last 2 hours I was trying to flash stock recovery. I tried to flash different ROMs, wiped data and system several times. Nothing seemed to work. After flashing recovery.img from any stock firmware package there always was red triangle and it didn't work. All custom recoveries works.
So since I've already had my data wiped, I just flashed Lollipop with fastboot and it works well. But still doesn't have stock recovery.
I flashed cm12 nightly and its working great but i miss the stock android and want to revert back to android 5.1 build number LMY47I.
so i just have to flash the factory image and wipe all the data?
while installing cm12 i had to downgrade my boot loader from hhz12f to hhz12d so do i need to flash the bootloader image first or just straight away flash the factory image??

You could use a flashable stock rom put together by someone here at XDA, but I would advise you to back up your userdata and flash factory images. You can afterwards push your userdata back to /sdcard/.
