Alright in the irc channel we have figured out a few ways to get into recovery if you kill your system on the wifi version.

1) Hook up usb cable, open terminal/command, power on xoom, copy and paste this in the terminal:
adb wait-for-device && adb reboot recovery

2) Download CWM recovery.img. Go into fastboot mode (power and volume down). Once there paste the following in terminal/command:
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
Then just reboot.

3) If you wipe out your system hard enough, it will actually put you into a recovery loop, so just set back and wait.

Not entirely sure what you mean by kill your system, but i have a wi/fi model that i attempted to re-lock and ended up a real problem.

"Failed image LNX 0x0002
Starting Fastboot protocol support"

and alternatively in the bootloader I also have
"Starting RSD mode 2"

Cant get a single sight of my xoom on the pc. Nothing in RSD or adb commands. Is this a solution then for my case. Im pretty sure im straight up cold-stone brick.
