Explain "except the radio"...if your're unable to get locked in a cdma network (verizon one only works in cdma mode) and in your country ther's no cdma provider that make sense again :)
Hope that if you find and flash a gsm/euro dump in your euro xoom it will work again on gsm network :)

Lol, ok, I'll "define". By "except the radio", I mean that the radio does not start, network selection and data mode options are disabled in the interface, scanning for networks is not even possible, this would be available on a function cdma radio whether or not a network is present and detected. The device simply does not detect the presence of ANY radio, at all.

It's highly unlikely that there will be any way to switch the radio to CDMA mode without a baseband flash that configures the radio at low level.

Don't listen to me though, I'm just an Electronic Engineer, what do I know.

Well, you would do that by writing a new radio.img, but there's no way I'm flashing a CDMA radio on my XOOM so someone else can give it a go, I have a feeling it won't go too well

It's not a brick jus fastboot and flash the radio image I include in the op.

As long as you didn't overwrite system partition partitio it should be back to normal. If it still doesn't work push the module.
