I tried this already but it is still write protected

I think older USBs had a switch to toggle on/off write protection.

I have had the same issue though no fix managed to solve it, I looked through forums for hours..

What I do know has helped a friend of me is a tool called phison format and restore tool, google it.

I guess you might be out of luck with that USB stick.. :/ It could very well be a hardware problem with the damn thing.
