He's asking what version. You should have v3.2.0.0 which was specially developed for Xoom to access Micro sdcard. If you use Rom Manager to boot into recovery, it may have tricked you into updating to a newer version of CWM recovery which only uses internal storage and isn't completely compatible.
thats whats happened :/ what a douch i am, i have v4.0.0.4, anyway i can downgrade? thanks

Just reflash the image file through fastboot or the zip file from your internal "sdcard" if possible. Remember not to flash a zip file through fastboot.
My phone is stuck on bootloops now after newest firmware flash,
I can get into bootloader but since I have the PMG on the SD card it asks for update which doesnt let me get into recovery mode.
How do I remove it off the sd card if the phone is bootlooping?
or get into recovery?
remove sdcard, boot into recovery, put sdcard back in go to mount as usb storage
then delete and add rom then flash new rom

Yup lol this actually been mention conintously through all the new roms lol, i found out best way is to flash new ics rom first, then update to new firmware

If I'm reading this correctly, you have access to bootloader and recovery, but don't have a ROM.zip file to flash. Correct me if I'm wrong though?
If that's the case, check my post here.
yes i was able to find your post and it worked! thanks a lot

Not a problem
I posted a more in-depth guide here.
So I realize I did something stupid and I'm hoping I can fix it. I was in the process of rooting and installing a new ROM on my brothers phone. I made it S-off, and I didn't want clockwork recovery so I just skipped that. I updated the firmware so I can put an ICS ROM on it and now it's stuck in a bootloop I would imagine because there is no recovery on there. Can I fix this somehow? How do I install a Recovery when I don't have a recovery?
Thanks

you can install recovery from bootloader/fastboot and then rom from the recovery
here follow the post #2 from this guide to do that
What about download mode aka odin mode

download mode is not required for HTC phones.. we can flash stuff from bootloader
to go to bootloader
power off phone then remove battery ,reinsert it ..then hold power + volume down button ..will take you to bootloader ..there you can flash the recovery ..and a lot

So I downloaded the pg58img file and put it on the root of my SD card. went into bootloader and it saw the file but for some reason didn't give me the option to install anything. Any idea why or what I did wrong?

No. RUU is a last option.
This is way too simple for that.

Just need to flash a recovery; preferably 4ext. (only step 2 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345)
Then nandroid backup from recovery (main menu of 4ext > Backup | Restore > Backup)
Then put an ICS ROM on SD Card using the Toggle USB Storage" option (main menu of 4ext > Toggle USB Storage)
Then format all partitions except SD Card from recovery (main menu of 4ext > Format | Wipe > Format all partitions (except SD Card) )
Then flash the ICS ROM from the recovery (main menu of 4ext > Install zip > Choose zip from SD Card).
Simple as that.

if you have twrp or cwm installed, did you try to format it in recovery?
or maybe try flashing official stock software, possibly it will format it back.
thats all i know to try, sorry.

Flash your phone pit file using odin. I think this the only way to fix it.
