How to dump the rootfs from LibreElec?

1st Official Post

    Hello,

    turned on debugging in extlinux.cfg to figure out why my RK3036 doesn't start Kodi, how can I dump the rootfs of the LibreElec image?

    I tried 'rkflashtool r' with various options (offset 0x40000), but couldn't really make it work (only zeroes were read).

    So how can I dump the linux root partition?

    Thanks,

    The / root partition is just a virtual filesystem comprised of the contents of the kernel.img and SYSTEM files; which you already have (or they are in /flash, or in the install folder within the build.blah components of build-system) so there's no need to go around dumping stuff.
