Balana Etcher faild in startup and now i cant recover the drive

[pdcastro]

If you have access to a Linux system, the drive recovery command advised in the Etcher documentation is:

Make sure the drive is unmounted ( umount /dev/xxx ), and run the following command as root , replacing xxx by your actual device path:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/xxx bs=512 count=1 conv=notrunc

If that command gives you “permission denied”, it may be because it is not being run as the root user. You can also try prefixing the command with “sudo”:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/xxx bs=512 count=1 conv=notrunc

Turns out the flash drive i bought has a known error that puts it into read only with no way of recovering so thats a bummer
