Stuck on Android Recovery During Root Attempt

I bought a Xoom WiFi shortly after they were available to the US market.
It has always been totally reliable and trouble free.
It is (was??) currently completely stock and running 4.1.2.
With the exception of one application (Olive Tree Bible Reader 6.0) it runs everything I want to with no problems.
I have a Nexus 5 and bought a Nexus 9 open box at Best Buy as I wanted something more powerful than the Xoom. However, after a week I returned the Nexus 9 as I didn’t care for the smaller screen size.
I considered rooting thee Xoom and trying to overclock it to get some more power.
I tried the instructions found here:
http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/moto...-one-roof.html
in the section: Rooting Jellybean 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 OTA
It seemed to be going along fine until I got to the part:

Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed:
- Reboot your device by holding Volume Up + Power.
- Then 3 seconds after you see the "Motorola logo", hit Volume Down.

You should now see "Android Recovery" at the top left corner.

- Hit Volume Up to boot/enter into recovery.

When I try to go into the Android Recovery mode it starts and says
Entering Android Recovery Mode
Reading ODM Fuse 1
Then I get this guy:




All I wanted to do was a simple root so that I could do an overclock as described here:
How to Overclock the Motorola Xoom TheUnlockr

Any help in getting me unstuck to finish the root and overclock would be greatly appreciated.
If I just do a restart it comes up fine but all my apps are gone and it thinks it's a new tablet.
I'm not concerned about restoring the apps as that's not a big deal but before I give up on the root / overclock and set it back up I want to see if anyone can help me.
Thanks
