About the ASUS ZenPad C 7.0
The ASUS ZenPad C 7.0 was released in June 2015. It is a 7.0-inch tablet built on two distinct hardware platforms: the Intel Atom x3-C3200 / x3-C3230RK / MediaTek MT8382V architecture for models Z170C (Wi-Fi) and Z170CG (3G), and the MediaTek MT8382 processor for model Z170MG.
Flashing factory stock firmware restores original software, fixes persistent boot loops, and removes system bugs. Follow the verified hardware identification and flashing steps below to restore your tablet safely.
Which Flash Mode Should You Use?

What You Need Before Flashing
ASUS Flash Tool and SP Flash Tool require Windows. Install the correct USB driver package before connecting the tablet.

Firmware Package for Intel Atom / MT8382
Official firmware for Intel-based ASUS ZenPad C 7.0 models (Z170C and Z170CG) is packaged as complete RAW archives (.zip). These packages contain all essential partition images (boot, recovery, splash, fastboot, and system) designed for ASUS Flash Tool and Fastboot. The MediaTek Z170MG model uses a scatter-mapped partition index designed for SP Flash Tool.
WW_Z170*_rawdata.zip / AFT package
For Intel models (Z170C, Z170CG), load the complete RAW zip package into ASUS Flash Tool. For MediaTek Z170MG, extract the archive and load the scatter file into SP Flash Tool.
Processor check: Confirm your tablet processor before flashing. Models Z170C and Z170CG use Intel Atom x3 processors and require ASUS Flash Tool in Droidboot mode. Model Z170MG uses a MediaTek MT8382 processor and requires SP Flash Tool. Never flash an Intel package on the MediaTek Z170MG tablet, or a MediaTek package on Intel models.
