I recently saw many people running into this problem and didn't find any tutorial explaining how to fix it, so I decided make a little tutorial on how to fix this bug. Please understand that it only works on RSD Mode 3! And was tested only twice on an Everest Xoom and a Stingray Xoom (thanks droidxrooting)!
I'm not responsible if it Hard Brick your device! Everything you do is only your problem!
Windows:
- Fully charge your Xoom
- Download LordAIOTool
- Extract it on C:/
- Download and install Motorola Drivers
- Download Motorola Stock ROM or any other ROM
- Extract the ROM and pick the boot.img file
- Copy the boot.img file to LAIOT bin folder
- Now download any recovery (except Stock one) and copy it to LAIOT bin folder as well
- Rename the recovery file to recovery.img
- Plug your Xoom to your PC
- Turn it on pressing vol- (If it worked the screen will stay stuck at Motorola logo with no text)
- Open a cmd
- Type:
Code:cd C:/ cd LAIOT cd bin fastboot flash recovery recovery.img fastboot flash boot boot.img fastboot reboot
- Quickly press vol- (like after 2 seconds that Motorola logo appeared) and select Android Recovery
- Now on recovery factory reset your device and wipe system
- Flash a ROM
- You're done
Linux:
- Fully charge your Xoom
- Download and install LordAIOTool
- Download any ROM or Motorola Stock ROM
- Extract from this ROM boot.img
- Download a Recovery
- Rename the recovery you just downloaded to recovery.img
- Copy both boot.img and recovery.img to ~/LAIOT/
- Turn on your Xoom while pressing vol- (if worked you will see a Motorola logo screen with no text)
- Plug your Xoom to your PC
- Open a terminal
- Type:
Code:cd ~/LAIOT/ fastboot flash boot boot.img fastboot flash recovery recovery.img fastboot reboot
- Quickly press vol- (like after 2 seconds that Motorola logo appeared) and select Android Recovery
- Now on recovery factory reset your device and wipe system
- Flash a ROM
- You're done

The Windows version was tested on a Stingray (droidxrooting did it with my help) and the Linux version was tested on a Everest (XxLordxX did it)
Hope it unbrick your Xoom if it enters in RSD mode 3! I hope to soon add this feature on either LAIOT or/and 7Heavens Projekt.
