Default [XOOM][Wingray][STOCK]An easy way to return your XOOM to its *original* state

Well recently I wanted to COMPLETELY redo my XOOM in anticipation of the Jelly Bean update. I've been around Android for awhile now so it was something I'm accustomed to doing and I didn't think it would be a problem. To make a long story short, I did have a big problem and realized there wasn't really one easy, simple, automated way (with comprehensive instructions) to get a XOOM back to its factory state. I tried to solve this a little bit by making a ZIP package to return a XOOM to stock.

Here's a quick rundown:
-ONLY works for wingray (US XOOM WiFi-only/MZ604)
-Works coming from any ROM, etc. as long as your bootloader is unlocked
-Flashes the original factory software that the XOOM ran (yes that's right, Honeycomb)
-Works on Windows or Linux
-Will relock your bootloader and therefore wipe your data - this gets you COMPLETELY back to stock, folks!

There is a more comprehensive list of information and step-by-step instructions in a readme file found within the ZIP (named README.txt). READ IT before doing anything!

Once you do this it will only take 15-20 minutes to run through all the OTAs if you're looking to upgrade to the latest stock ROM. Hope this helps some people out!

Forgot to mention, thanks to Motorola for providing the stock images and Google for the fastboot software!

If you guys have questions, comments, requests, etc. feel free to post them of course!

Thank you very much for posting it! I am about to sell my Xoom and wanted to deliver it stock.
I was just wondering if anyone has tested it as well.
Thanks again!!

I always backup boot and system right after an OTA (need to flash CWM recovery first) - and before applying root.
Prior to taking a subsequent OTA, restore those partitions and let it fully boot - this will overwrite recovery to stock.

Thanks!
In order to get it working I had to reorder the flashing of system and recovery (system first, then recovery), else I got an error.

Flashed it on my Mac by the way. The shell script didn't work out of the box for some reason, but executing the commands in the file with the "./" part skipped and the mentioned reordering it worked flawlessly.
