Welcome to the forum

Seem fastboot wont help as USB debugging cant enable....

Try RSD/SBF method and see how it go..

How to install the essential files needed to flash back to an original stock ROM SBF.
This is necessary when you get stuck in the proverbial "bootloop".

Step is similar to this tutorial :


Part II:


Flashing the SBF:

Download SBF: here
For you please choose:-
MD5: FF81AD7F090A87B4078532F4E2FD6852
Carrier: Verizon US
File: VZW_MZ602_signed_HLK75D_signed_MDM6600_03.1A.54_si gned_LTEDC_U_05.19.00.combo.sbf.gz

"Thanks to Steady Hawkin for this on"

Flashing the SBF:

• Run RSD Lite as Admin
• Power off your Xoom, press volume up and power at the same time until the device starts. It should boot with "Starting RSD protocol support 3"
• Connect your supplied USB cable (I say supplied because 3rd party cables can cause issues)
• Browse to the SBF file you extracted in the filename box (use the ... button to select)
• Click on Port 1 and select Show Device. If it looks similar to the below image (Device and File Properties are both populated) you are all set
• Click Run

Hope it help and wish you good luck
