[Q] Bricked? Or just wrong image?

[webtop]

I rooted and installed new roms for my Xoom a long time ago, but recently gave it to my wife because I bought a Surface tablet (boo, hiss, etc.).
She complained because it kept saying there was an update, but every time she tried it, it failed. So I decided to manually update it today and believe I may have bricked it.

I think I flashed the wrong images and now all I get is the M logo and it goes no further. I can still get fastboot support so tried to reflash it but that didn't help.

One other, related or not, issue is that I can get into recovery but it keeps saying it cannot mount my sdcard, so I can't update that way.

ANY help is greatly appreciated at this point.

Thanks,
Paul

You have the old cwm, it's why it can't mount sdcard. You must update to the newest cwm to be able to flash the newer roms, cm10.1,4.2.

Get fastboot.exe from the internet somewhere on a computer
Set that up
Download .img file for latest twrp
Enter fastboot mode on the tablet
Using fastboot on the command prompt, flash twrp to the tablet using 'fastboot flash recovery [filename].img' command
Use new recovery to try and do something else
