(1) I think you should just format the disk image into a regular file, rather than dumping it to a USB stick, and then dumping it back from there. (2) Even if you opt for the USB "detour", the above dd command line is incorrect. You selected a specific partition on the USB stick as input block device. That's wrong, we need to see the entire disk (partition table, EFI system partition etc). Thanks Laszlo
