The error message and related problem is written right there in front of your nose:
The ZIP file on your SD card does not seem to be ok. Bad download or corrupted while copying onto the SD.
EDIT: If you want to make sure that a large file got copied correctly to the SD (assuming the file you downloaded is ok):
1. Get HashTool
2. Start HashTool, make sure at least "MD5" is checked and drop the ZIP onto the program window.
3. Save the MD5 hash as a .txt file
4. Mount the phone in USB storage mode
5. Copy the ZIP
6. Drop the ZIP you copied onto the SD onto Hashtool and make sure the MD5 matches.
If the MD5 does not match, then the file on the SD is damaged. Turn off the phone, take out the SD and put it into a card reader. Delete the ZIP, copy anew, recheck the MD5. If it's ok now give it a try ... and research a possible problem with the Android drivers on your computer later on.
If it should turn out that the file is also damaged on your computer ... either the download broke (pay close attention to make sure the file came in completely) or you have a funny problem with your hard drive or file system integrity.

Flashtool installs the one-and-only correct 0.1 xRecovery version for the X8/W8.

You know, that statement is plain bulls***. Flashtool uses the very same rooting methods as SuperOneClick.

Correct - try another ROM or re-flash GingerXperia.
See the edit in my post above about how to make sure that the ZIP got copied correctly.

Repair it using PCC and start all over again, but this time use super1click for rooting your phone and x8toolbox for install CWM and xRecovery
Or try to pull out battery for couple minutes and see if problem still persist, than start your phone without sdcard inside, maybe you sdcard causing it

so far ok ...but it restarted bout 10 mins ago...i scare it happen again..i really hope not, the last time i serviced my phone is caused the sd card problem

I'm going slightly mad....
I've tried all possibilities, but with no use.
Everything went bad, when i unlocked bootloader, and (tried) flashed nAa kernel to use new rom's for my X8. SEMC unlocked bootloader, rooted phone, everything went fine, but... First my phone was stuck on nAa kernel screen after flashing (it said succesfully) nAa kernel and latest cm rom based on nAa kernel. Since than, i tried 10 different nAa based rom's, flashed alfs kernel succesfully and alfs based rom's, stock kernel and stock rom, and than old rom's which worked flawlessly (on stock kernel), relocked bootloader, booted without sd card, everything. But only combo which works is flashed stock kernel and stock rom 2.1.1. Why? What has been gone wrong that now even old rom's based on stock kernel aren't working? Problem with every rom and kernel combo now is that after s.e. (or if i use custom kernel - their logo), goes custom rom logo and than mobile reboots itself and goes all over again - s.e. logo, custom rom logo, and reboot. Left mobile for hours - same thing. Only when i install stock kernel and stock rom (together in one .ftf file), everything works fine. Now phone is with relocked bootloader, rooted, and on stock rom, with everything working correct. But wont let me flash any custom rom, and i don't wanna use phone like this, because nothing is like i'm used to be (i used mostly gingerdx or gingerxperia rom's).
Please help!!

[q] pc wont recognize x8(bootloader unlocked)

m a noob....i recent successfully unlocked my bootloder n runnin gingerxperia v22...but pc only recognizes my phone with stock kernel...but if i switch to any other kernel..MY PC WONT RECOGNIZE MY X8...
PLEASE HELP..

Try and install gordans gate (x8 drivers) manualy. Search them on google
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

i think i installed it earlier....

PCC? i have that problem too..PCC recognize my phone as X10

when i click on turn on sd storage.it unmounts my sd card for safe removal....pcc recognizes for me too but whats d use..cant exchange files..

I have a same issue with alfs kernel. In my desktop pc with Win7 the phone connect, but in my laptop with Winxp cannot connect. Try this modified driver, i modified the inf file in flashtool driver, and the phone connect with alfs kernel under winxp and win7 too

Im guessing you can install a custom kernel successfully? When installing Alfs kernel, flash the latest version then install vold update with CWM. Your PC will then recognise your phone OR just install nobodyatalls kernel

Ya your probably running Alfs kernel too!? Change to Nobodyatalls kernel or stock. It will work! GingerDx v22 there is only small updates anyway so you could stay on v21 and wait (patiently) for his next release. OR you could invest in a new CLASS 10 SD Card. They are going for cheap these days if you know where to look

yes...i think want to change to class 10 too..wait for my salary LOL
for now i will stay on v21

Do you have a class 4 SD card 2? It will work if you revert back to a stock kernel. I know you like the whole custom kernels. My advice would be buy a class 10 SD card. Class 4 is slow

so i wud hav to go 2 stock kernel and then flash naa???

wow.....so sad~!!

No you have to stay on stock kernel im afraid, for it to work. Did you try Alfs kernel?

hello i am new to this forum!!! well i have a problem with my sd card. my x8 is rooted and with custom rom! until yesterday it was alright but suddenly it stopped working on phone!!! on settings it says that it is not available!!! But when i went to xrecovery there it was ok! i could use it tou flash a new rom and wiping my phone in hope it would be available on phone but it isn't! What should i do?i mounted the sd card on xrecovery but nothing happened. i formated on pc but still nothing!!! on settings on phone it says delete content of sd card or something like that! i pressed it but it says sd card has been removed!!! please help me what should i do?

i was using gingerdx and suddently it happened that!! after trying everything i knew i put sd card on pc copied fde +4 and with the same sd card that my phone does not recognise i flashed that rom but still my phone does not recognise it but xrecovery does!!

That is strange. Can you go to Setting the Storage Setting and try manually mounting the SDcard? If the problem still exist please go back to the stock ROM and see if the sdcard still wont recognize

well when i unmount my sd card it says sd card removed but when plug it back in it does not say anything!! is there a setting on xrecovery that i should do before going back to stock rom?

Hmmm well as far as my knowledge is concern no. Nwei why you still use xrecovery? Flashing latest rom with xrecovery will surely gives you an error use clockwordmod recovery instead. Maybe thats what causes your problem, Im not certain.

can you access recovery??

Try restoring ya phone via. PC Companion. There's a thread in XDA..

If you can access CWM, just flash another ROM.

cwm can be accessed even if system is formatted... enter cwm.. if you dont have a rom in sd card then mount usb storage then copy a rom in sdcard. and then install the rom

If you read his post, you will know that he's on stock kernel. Recoveries for stock kernel are stored in /system. He wiped it => he doesn't have recovery.

Even with stock kernel? Because if I'm not mistaken on stock kernel the recovery comes with ROM while in custom kernel the recovery comes from the kernel itself.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

No if his phone has locked BL. The best way is to flash the phone with PCC or to flash 2.1 firmware with flashtool.
