For a 02w, you need:
bootcode.bin
start.elf
fixup.dat
config.txt
bcm2710-rpi-zero-2-w.dtb
kernel8.img
initramfs8
cmdline.txt
If some of this files is corrupted, failure
'corrupted' seems clear, but can also mean some the files are OK in other computer, but still end up corrupted in the 02w memory
I have had similar strange things for a RPi3B as well, turned out that the brand SD-card did not work in the RPi3B. 'brand' can also mean counterfeit or fake or maybe internal controller firmware bug
I did binary compare content in other computer. Only another brand SD-card worked.
You might do in that folder:
sha256sum *
Those are on my RPi4 updated trixie
