Hi friends sorry for this silly question but I'm not very familiar with Android.
To install a CWM or TWRP is necessary to have the bootloader unlocked? thanks

You can install updates manually when Asus release them on the website I always do, you will not be able to update the normal way OTA as you have been doing so far.

There any post to do so as you say manually?
I imagine it would be removing and installing CWM recovery asus stock Original and perform the manual update as you say, I apologize for so many questions but I have difficulty understanding the post translated into Spanish thanks.

I would recomend using TWRP recovery and not CWR when you have unlocked your bootloader. By the way when I update all I do is restore a stock backup, then download the update from Asus to my pc then extract the zip file from within the downloaded file then transfer the zip file to my tablets sdcard and then go in to recovery and install, you will loose root and TWRP recovery but with Motochopper it's not a problem now rooting is so easy then once rooted use Goomanager to install TWRP this has never failed for me.

There are two ways. The easy way or the hard way or another easy way. You could put the stock firmware on your sdcard. You can also flash it in fast boot or flash it with twrp.

I tried updating from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1 but was unable to do so. Ive got the correct firmware for my model the WW one but it doesnt come up as saying there an update able to be installed. I dont have a custom recovery installed, is there another way to update without getting a custom recovery installed?

First of all, when you download the firmware from asus, you have to extract the file named: US_epad-user-10.6.1.15.3.zip. place the extracted zip file on your 'SDCARD'. your tablet will find it and notify you. if it doesnt, restart the tablet.
Forgot to extract the zip first before putting it on thanks

That's pretty much it. There may be the odd security fix or something here and there but they're not covered by change logs so we'll likely never know

I have the MT7 TL10 international. The phone is rooted, BL unlocked and CWM installed. Today I received notification that an OTA update on B123 is available. I think I've read somewhere that the update will not work with CWM so I have to go back to stock recovery. I know how to do that but I just want to confirm with you experts whether or not IT is needed.
And in case I go back to stock recovery, do I just have to flash CWM again after the ROM update and it's all good again?
Thanks in advance for your feedback-much appreciated

Dear Simona,
thank's for your reply. If I get you correctly IT is needed to go back to stock recovery before flashing the OTA update.
But what about my second question. If I flash CWM after the ROM update, will the phone still be rooted, BL unlocked, CWM recovery and SU installed?
My apologies if this is a silly question, but I'm not an Android expert - just an user....

yes don't worry all be still rooted/unlocked..
It says here that I cannot update if I rooted my phone,
Is there any way that I can update my phone with this new update, and not having any issues at all.
Kindly see attached file, I freaked out when I read this.
Sorry to trouble you guys, I'm just a newbie with this kind of rooting thing, seeking out help. Thanks
Up.. Please I need your help, I just want to know if it is safe or not. Or if there's any workaround with this one.
Thanks
If you have a root, do not try to update on usual way - can damage your phone!

The answer to your question is No.
so how do you update to 8.1 while rooted? Thx
edit: figured it out. Edit the flash-all script and take out the -w and just have 1 space there. go into bootloader and flash it. reboot back into bootloader after and fastboot boot twrp then flash twrp and magisk.

No idea. Still trying to figure this out, currently trying to flash the .img like you said with the toolkit. But thinking maybe flashing the whole 8.1 ROM. Should work ......I think ...:cyclops:
you dont need the toolkit for that.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
let phone reboot then you can use skip toolkit. get the latest one that supports 8.1
Doing the above gets rid of the red triangle error "device is corrupt"
