I've made a USB-Stick to boot Ubuntu some fair time ago, sometime it got corrupted, idk what happened. Trying to boot it, it will send me into the recovery menu. Windows won't let me format the USB-Stick since it's readonly. How am I supposed to make it usable again? Is there anything I can do through the root shell prompt from the recovery menu? Thanks in advance.

If the hardware lock (if any) is unlocked, and if the operating system refuses to let you format the device...
...Then that hardware is dead.
Ubuntu cannot resurrect dead hardware.
Give it the moment of silence that it has earned from years of reliable work for you. Then throw it in the trash.
