[Q] How to hard reset xoom wifi

[kirdroid]

I picked up a xoom wifi from costco today and setup it up. But I'm unable to use it since i'm getting continuos FC's on application launcher.

I tried to hard reset but it's not working. Here is what i did.
1. Power button + volume down
2. Select Fastboot

But it is stuck here with "starting fastboot protocol support".

I tried couple of times to start over from beginning, but i keep getting stuck at this screen.

Any help is hard reset will be appreciated.

@kirdroid did you attempt root with the wrong boot image?
