Looking at your error message there are several suggestions to try with
regards to trouble-shooting:

bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.
    Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

Did you try this?

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

How about this?

tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: ./devimage: Cannot change ownership to uid 0, gid 0: Operation not
permitted
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

This looks some sort of permission issue -- did you try extracting with sudo
or root?

How about downloading a new copy?
