The Android file system can be corrupted. However, in a properly configured system, the bootloader, kernel, and system are read-only, and thus, should never be corrupted. The writable system partitions (data/ and cache/) are susceptible to corruption. But, usually, devices can be booted into a "recovery" or a "factory reset" mode which will allow these partitions to be reformatted. Many "rooted" devices leave the system/ partition writable, which as you now realize is not only a security issue but a reliability issue. If you corrupt your system partition, the only sure fix is to reload the system externally.
