how to unsquashfs or mount a firmware image?

i want to extract my routers firmware, and modify it. so i used bitsum's firmware mod kit. it seems there is no error. i can get image_parts directory also there is rootfs.img (squashfs image) file. but the problem is i can neither mount it nor unsquashfs.

This is extraction output:

i searched "error code -3", it is Z_DATA_ERROR ( data is corrupted or incomplete ). now what should i do?

thanks

Bcm63xx firmware images has a special format like squashfs-lzma. i got some tools to extract firmware images named bcm tools (brfwmod.exe). It has a command named lzma-unsquash. i successfully unaquash it with theese tools.
