It's only the headers that are slightly more difficult to read, the actual content is written in perfectly comprehensible english. Besides by having to decipher it, atleast they'd be doing SOMETHING for the info instead of gettng it simply handed to them.

Here is a list of Frequently Asked Questions for all you people coming here with questions like OMG HAO DO AI REWT MI TAB or MI ABD NUT WERKAN PLZ HALP, and the ever popular CN I RUT 0423 WIT DIS?
Lucky I have compiled the most popular questions and listed them here, with full explenation and solution.
Enjoy!

1. HAO DO I REWT MI TAB? I DUNNO WHER 2 FIND DIS THENKS.

Rooting your Transformer can indeed be done with the link here, however you will need some stuff beforehand like adb to get your Transformer rooted and ready to use that method. So for you guys who do not feel comfortable with that, do this.

2. WUT IS ABD PLZ HALP I DUNNO HOW 2 USE OMG SO CONFUZD

To get adb up and running, you simply have to follow the guide here. Oh, and you need the Asus PC Sync software from here. Simply select your PC operating system, download and install the Asus PC sync software.

Alternatively you can use the guide made by a kind xda member (screenshots included) here.

3. CN I R00T MY 0423 BUILD I WANN HAS ROMS?

Yes, indeed you can with the guides linked above.

4. OMG I HAS US/TW/UK/MOON TF101 CN I FLASH WW ROMS?!

After rooting and installing CWM you can flash any ROM you like, the regions only matter for stock updates at this time. So go ahead and flash any ROM you like.

5. WUT IS CIFS.KO && TUN.KO?!

If you don't know what it is, don't worry about it, it means you probably don't need it. But in the offchance you do need tun.ko for VPN, here is a link to installing openVPN.

6. I ROOTD AND MI CAMERA ++ BT NO WERKAN, WAT I DO?

Simply flash the BLOB_V5 file available in the root guide, use the same steps you used to flash (so not all the steps) BLOB_V4, just replace the CWM_BLOB_V4 parts with CWM_BLOB_V5 and that should fix your issues.

7. OMG MI SD CARD NO WERK FOR FLASHAN ROMS WHAT DO?!

Try and use fix permissions from CWM, or try a couple of times. Another fix for the sd card issue you can try, is to put the non working sd card into an android phone then go to storage on the phone and erase the sd card. reinserting that card into the transformer will then allow it to mount to CWM.
if it still doesn't work your card is probably hated by CWM (some are, for what reason we don't know) and you'll need to use a different SD card.

8. HAO 2 OVERCLOCK, MOAR CLOCK

You can overclock if you have root and CWM already. Simply go here and flash this kernel through CWM.

9. CN I FLASH BLOBZ THRU CWM

There is currently 1 way to flash the blob through a zip update if you are not on the 0325 build. This is by flashing the latest Modaco ROM which has the BLOB included.

10. CN I UNREWT MI TAB? I HAS NO WORRANTIES ANYMOAR

Yes. Simply flash the blob from the Asus website using the same steps you used to flash the CWM blob. here is also a guide.

11. I UPDAETED TO 3.1 NOW REWT NO WERK, WAT DO?

Download the 8.2.2.9 update from Asus and copy it to your internal memory to downgrade or do this.

12. MI TAB IS A BRIK, IT NO DO ANYTHING OMG HALP D: <- sadface

You can use this method to try and unbrick it, if that doesn't work, you're pretty much screwed.

Thank you.
