How to clear current “read-only” state on a USB flash drive I setup with Rufus?

Three weeks ago I used Rufus 2.2 to install Windows 10 on my machine, and it has write-protected my flash drive. I’ve tried diskpart:

diskpart
att disk clear readonly
clean
create partition primary
format fs=fat32 quick

And it kinda worked, it removed the image off the USB, but now it’s showing:

Current Read-only State : Yes
Read-only : No
Boot Disk : No
Pagefile Disk : No
Hibernation File Disk : No
Crashdump Disk : No
Clustered Disk : No

And I can’t format it or write on it.

The drive is a a Kingston DataTraveler G4 32GB model, without physical switches. How would I restore it back to normal (rw) state?

I managed to solve with RMPrepUSB and I had the issue with an SD card I wanted to erase.
