URGENT - Cant wipe my xoom

Hi peeps. ..
Really need someone to help here. I've sold my xoom and need to delete all my info off it. I've tried to do it the the normal way of just wipe data but when it reboots into recovery mode it just says..
Entering Android Recovery Mode
Reading ODM fuse: 1
And thats it, its just stuck there.
Now I bought it second hand and was told it had been rooted and flashed with a kernel that allowed you to alter the CPU.
My question is how do I get rid of my data and get it booting into this recovey mode?
I've installed Rom Manger from the market and tried installing CWM but it just gets stuck again on the dual core screen.
Mine is a UK 3G model.
Any advice, suggestions would be most welcome. It does boot fine into android 3.01.
I need to get this posted out today, hence the wipe.
Thanks,
Steve
Get the UK img files and reflash it back to stock through fastboot.
Grab the stock images here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049485
Extract the images and run these commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata

[q] i need to hard flash my phone

does any1 know a guide that can get me to a rooted stock minus bloatware without a recovery or access to such litterally ill probably need to do it all via cmd but i cant flash anything cant access recovery cant flash via rom man i am rooted but i flashed a bad rom and cant find a way to get my phone normal again...........
Have you tried flashing via fastboot?
fastboot flash zip "name of rom".zip
You could also flash new recovery.img from there
fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery".img

Bricked my phone very hard. Is it still savable?

Long story short I bricked my phone when trying to flash recovery using toolkit. Now my phone won't turn on and recovery is gone as well. Somehow my PC can recognize the phone in fastboot mode although there's nothing showing on the screen.
So I tried the method in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/wrong-kernel-black-screen-fastboot-adb-t2835696
It shows I flashed everything and it shows green color in the tool but when I checked the partitions, boot.img, recovery.img, userdata.img, system.img, etc are still broken. At that time the bootloader was still unlocked.
Since my computer can still see the phone in fastboot so I tried to flash the original image in fastboot. Again everything went through with no error but the phone still wouldn't turn on and the partitions are still same broken/corrupted. However the bootloader became locked after this. So now I end up with no more solutions. Since bootloader says locked(although boot.img is actually corrupted) I can't flash or do anything in fastboot command.
So I guess I'm really SOL right now... My only hope right now is maybe there will be USB JTAG or Nand flasher but I don't know if anyone can repair that right now.
Any suggestions?
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase recovery
Now use twrp or cwm or whatever
fastboot boot recovery nameofrecovery.img
If your phone boots to recovery you may consider running e2fsck against data and cache partitions through adb shell
Best of luck

[Q] Wifi

I have installed Aero Kernel for my moto g on lollipop and i decided to go back to my old kernel so i flashed the kernel and wifi modules from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649763 but my wifi isn't turning on even if i try to reflash the stock modules over and over
Edit: Oh wait maybe it's because i flashed the EU kernel on a DE firmware. I'm gonna try to flash DE Kernel
Edit 2: Okay didn't work either :/
Did you try flashing a holos.bin file from a stick rom? Dud you try the erase modem command in fastboot?

I didn't i just reflashed the Aero kernel now and it works again but could you explain a little more?
So i have to flash a holos.bin file from the DE 5.0.2 and erase modem right? and do i lose any data or?
Flash the file while the phone is in fastboot mode using fastboot commands.
To flash a modem, type fastboot flash modem non-hlos.bin (I think that is the file name, can't remember since I am not in front of my computer).
To erase, type fastboot erase modemst1, press enter, type fastboot erase modemst2, press enter.

Okay thanks but can i use like any firmware? like asian or brazilian lollipop firmware because there isn't a DE firmware that i can use with fastboot
You need to use a modem that is compatible with your phone and carrier; otherwise you may wind up with no service.
Did you search file factory for g firmware?

can't find a lollipop firmware on filefactory :/ so can i use a 4.4.4 one or is that dangerous?
I'm not sure if the KK modem will work on lollipop. With a Samsung AT&T s3 (sgh-i747), an incompatible modem/bootloader combination could brick the phone.

e: can't mount/cache karbonn sparkle v

I was using cm13 sprout 4 and twrp recovery. Was getting error unfortunately ---- apps stopped again again from different apps.
So simply thought of wiping cache and dalvik from twrp . It gave error e: can't mount /cache. So thought of formattig data but by mistake instead of factory reset, i formatted my android. Now i have no os installed just a twrp and unlocked bootloader with me.
now it gives error also E: can't mount/ system also.
pls help, i have only this night to fix it , tight schedule ahead

today i tried these commands in fastboot :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
all commands finished successfully but strangely their no change in my device.
then i tried flashing cwm recovery
fastboot flash recovery cwm.img
but when i boot in recovery it was twrp only.
so i think the flash command from fastboot is not working.
pls help...
Now i managed to get my friends pc and flashed stock rom using sp flash tool , everything went smoothly without any error but strangely nothing happened in device. It remains same without any os . Is my device completely damaged?? :'(

Got a solution!
This is kind of late but I hope this helps other people who have the same issue and are viewing this thread!
Take the battery out of your phone and connect it to your computer. Use SP flash tools and flash the stock rom, using the option, "Format All + Download"
You may have to press a button or button combination to get SPFT to recognize your phone. My phone's volume rockers don't work so I cant help you with that, it was pure luck for me!
Once you let it flash, let the phone boot. It will take some time, longer than usual but it WILL boot. And the bootloader will be locked, so be prepared to start tinkering from scratch!
