Hello,
Finally after more than a year of trying to make my ASUS Zenpad C7.0 Z170CG rooted I finally make it.
I succeed it under Ubuntu 16.04 as much more easier process than under Windows (no need for installing drivers for your Asus Zenpad).
I also have to say that this procedure is also working for Z170C version of Asus Zenpad C7.0.
Thanks to this guy
https://blog.stigok.com/post/unlock-bootloader-asus-zenpad-z170cg-p01y
and this manual on XDA Developers
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/asus-zenpad-c-7-0-p01y-root-method-t3567274
I rooted my device. Must say every credit goes to these guys not me. I just summarise the whole procedure at one place.
Update: DL Link to IMG File :

So, the procedure is following:
A. Install ADB and FASTBOOT
After installing you have to do 2 things on your device:
A-1. Enable USB Debugging
A-2. Revoke USB Debugging authorisations
The second one activate question should you allow access to your computer on your Zenpad. Answer positive and remember this with check box.
Now you have done right and no info in your terminal that it is Not Authorised (or something similar) while working
B. Connect your Asus device on USB, and allow everything asked on the screen.
C. The main procedure:
- Connect your device in Terminal:
sudo adb devices
List of devices attached
HELLOWORLDSECRETSERIAL device
- Reboot into fastboot
sudo adb reboot fastboot
- Unlock bootloader
sudo fastboot oem asus-go
THis will result in following response:
...
(bootloader) Unlocking the bootloader means the following:
(bootloader) All user data will be deleted
(bootloader) Any securely stored data will be inaccessible
(bootloader) Warranty will be void
(bootloader) After unlocking you have to execute
(bootloader) > fastboot format userdata
(bootloader) > fastboot format cache
(bootloader) or carry out a factory reset from recovery
(bootloader) To confirm the unlock, please execute the command
(bootloader) > fastboot oem unlock confirm
OKAY [ 0.057s]
finished. total time: 0.057s
- Confirm unlocking
sudo fastboot oem asus-go confirm
And as a result you will get
...
(bootloader) Unlocking and rebooting into unlocked state
OKAY [ 0.070s]
finished. total time: 0.070s
- Get a var dump for later (copy this to some TXT file)
sudo fastboot getvar all
Result is something like this:
(bootloader) version-baseband: 24832
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1638.500_M1S1
(bootloader) product: SF_3GR
(bootloader) secure: YES
(bootloader) unlocked: YES
