Etcher broke my USB stick … or did it?

@janfr – Open dispart and select the drive as per the guide, then:

DISKPART> clean

DiskPart has encountered an error: Access is denied.
See the System Event Log for more information.

DISKPART> convert gpt

DiskPart successfully converted the selected disk to GPT format.

DISKPART> create partition primary

DiskPart succeeded in creating the specified partition.

DISKPART> format quick fs=ntfs

  100 percent completed

DiskPart successfully formatted the volume.

I just downloaded and flashed Endeavor OS to replicate your setup. Upon completion, I attempted to recover. I had to use an extra step, convert gpt, as it seems Endeavor uses a different partition table. Let me know if that works.
