rootfs.img is a file containing an ext2 filesystem that XDAndroid mounts (read-only) at /.

rootfs.img provides:

  • essential UNIX utilities such as ls and mount
  • the Radio Interface Layer (RIL) (/lib/release/libhtcgeneric-ril.so)
  • mount points for other XDAndroid filesystems:
    • /cache
    • /data
    • /sdcard
    • /system
    • ...

rootfs.img images are not specific to a particular release of Android. I.e. a given rootfs.img image may work with Donut, Eclair, and Froyo.

rootfs.img is generally stored in the /andboot directory of the SD card.
