Turn off terrain shadow and everything will be fine.

well, the terrain is actually a rigidbody. I tried to convert it to terrain in radImp but something weird happened and it is all dark.

The strange lines you see are caused by terrain shadow mesh. Same thing happens to me. It's usually when polycount is wayup high. It doesn't matter if it is a rigidbody or terrain itself.
To convert rigidbody to terrain first you should load it as a rigidbody into 3Drad. 3Drad will create .ply and .pol files for you. You can delete the rigidbody and after that use RADimp to convert it to terrain. When you load your newly created terrain make sure to turn of shadow casting off.

it looks like a badly converted shadow model

Delete the _shadow.x and it will be fine if it is a RB, but you should use RB for collision (invisible) and apply a identical skinmesh over it.
