Getting empty files using firmware modification kit

im having trouble to extract a file system of a ZTE zxv10 h201 router. Im a beginner in reverse engineering so I am probably doing something wrong. This is what I have done so far.
I got the admin username and password for the web interface and enabled telnet.
I connected to the router using telnet

BusyBox v1.01 (2012.01.29-08:14+0000) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

# cat proc/mtd 
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00800000 00010000 "whole_flash"
mtd1: 00020000 00010000 "bootloader"
mtd2: 00040000 00010000 "userconfig"
mtd3: 00150000 00010000 "kernel"  
mtd4: 00650000 00010000 "filesystem"
# 
# help

Built-in commands:
-------------------
    . : break cd chdir continue eval exec exit export false hash
    help local pwd read readonly return set shift times trap true
    type ulimit umask unset wait [ ash brctl busybox cat cp date
    df echo free fuser getty hostname ifconfig init insmod kill killall
    linuxrc ln login ls lsmod mkdir mknod mount mv passwd ping ps
    pwd reboot rm rmdir rmmod setmac sh test tftp top traceroute
    umount wget

# 

Then I used

# cat /dev/mtdblock4 > /mnt/usb1_1/filesystem
# cat /dev/mtdblock0 > /mnt/usb1_1/whole_flash

To transfer the binary to the usb plugged in the router.
This is what i got with
binwalk whole_flash

Im having issues with the filesystem binary because non of the unsquashfs versions in the firmware modification kit “works” properly for me because all I get is 307,0 kB worth of files.

        link to busybox for each function they wish to use and BusyBox
        will act like whatever it was invoked as!
