Finding ELF format

readelf -h hotplug

└─$ xxd -c 1 -l 6 hotplug

00000000: 7f .

00000001: 45 E
6
00000002: 4c L

00000003: 46 F
8
00000004: 01 .
9
00000005: 01 .

If the last line (the sixed byte) is 01, according to ELF format, 01 is little endian and 02 is big endian.
Create file image with rootFS from scratch
1
dd if=/dev/zero of=myimage.img bs=1M count=500
2
mkdir -p MountPoint
3
mkfs.ext2 myimage.img
4
mount -t ext2 -o loop myimage.img MountPoint

6
cp rootfs.tar MountPoint
7
cd MountPoint
8
tar -xvf rootfs.tar
9
df -h
10
11
umount MountPoint
12
dd if=myimage.img bs=1k | gzip -v9 > rootfs.gz

To cut the "Linux kernel version 2.6.36" we need to do:
- Get the skip offset: 3163712
- Get the count size: 3226456 - 3163712 = 62.744
1
dd if=1C bs=1 skip=3163712 count=62744 of=kernel_out

sasquatch
Since
file doesn't recognize it, the vendor probably used a custom SquashFS magic signature. I expect that unsquashfs is also giving you an error about not being able to find a valid superblock. Give sasquatch a try; it's a modified version of unsquashfs that attempts to support such vendor hacks.
