Hi @jockel ,  
Sorry to hear that! When the flashing process fails, do you see any information in the devTools? (`ctrl+shift+i` on Linux iirc)  
Meanwhile, you can try to recover your USBs following one of the steps listed here [https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/blob/master/docs/USER-DOCUMENTATION.md#recovering-broken-drives](https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/blob/master/docs/USER-DOCUMENTATION.md#recovering-broken-drives)
