Download the lollipop firmware from asus site. Copy the droidboot.img from within this file. Download newest version of tethered cwm recovery. Go to command line and cd to directory with adb.exe in it. Place droidboot.img in this folder. Within cmd, write fastboot boot droidboot.img
It should reboot rto droidboot. Now open the .bat file, type ACCEPT, and T4. You should boot into cwm recovery. Now install zip/from external sd/WW_lollipop....zip
Then reboot and you should have lollipop :)

I?m the worst to follow what you write, because i'm just barely know press the button ON in my tablet but upgrade what I did this time far away, I taken to a tecnician who said I erased recovery's mode and then he can't handled any way to install the oldest or newest OS, im from Venezuela where ASUS havent support to tablets yet. I'll take what you said and bring it to somebody to know about software android to help me out. By the way I bought another memo pad 7 but model me170cx dual core, actually isnt bad but I want my me176cx back.

tried fastboot boot droidboot.img several times, device just reboots to fastboot and throws the same errors
Fastboot Starting....
Fastboot Starting....#1
Fastboot Starting....#2
Fastboot Starting....#3
i've searched and found different ways of flashing ME176CX but never a complete solution. With the INtel flash tool I can't find the DNX or IFWI files, with the Asus Flash Tool, cant find the raw firmware file. Can you help???:confused:

I can try to. Firstly, the droidboot.img has to be the one from ASUS firmware update downloaded from their site. If it doesn't work with it, well I don't know. Ask the support, take it to the store, or - if you really want to dig into it (it should be possible in your situation), then:
Firstly, buy this: (or something similar, but this is known to work well) http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00...qid=1440605402&ref_=sr_1_fkmr0_1&sr=8-1-fkmr0
Then, connect it to your tablet and connect usb keyboard to it. Also power it with another USB.
While starting your tablet, spam F2 key to get in UEFI setup. Then, follow some "tutorial" (search this forum for it, I saw it somewhere there) to run Windows/Ubuntu from flash disk. Run any linux distribution, and ask some kind person on lollipop to make an img with dd of entire mmcblk0 . Then use dd to copy it on your mmcblk0.
Warning! this is theoretical. It should work, but I cannot test it. CHECK MULTIPLE TIMES THAT THE img IS NOT CORRUPTED!!!
Lot of luck (even mine, luck will not help my problem anyway)
Sincerely, Mis012
