Loading with Rufus a Windows-Image in a USB, it was damaged, ceasing to be recognized by the system. Neither windows nor ubuntu can detect it. I've tried using Windows disk partition editor, the Rufus software itself, KDE partition (I'm using KDE Neon)... and nothing, none of these attempts have worked.
Finally I've been able to detect something with the terminal thanks to this post. Basically it uses sudo lsusb for listing the devices. In my terminal I can see the broken usb in the penultimate line:
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0eef:c0aa D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd eGalaxTouch EXC3104-1324-07.00.00
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0cf3:e007 Qualcomm Atheros Communications
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:5696 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Integrated_Webcam_HD
Bus 001 Device 015: ID 046d:c534 Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver
Bus 001 Device 019: ID 1f75:0817 Innostor Technology Corporation USB 2.0
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
But then, when it's time to use dmesg I can't see the /dev/ assignment:
[12020.461164] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 20 using xhci_hcd
[12020.610146] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1f75, idProduct=0817, bcdDevice= 0.01
[12020.610159] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[12020.610165] usb 1-1: Product: USB 2.0
[12020.610168] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: innostor
[12020.610172] usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 0012343171372180
[12022.483384] usb 1-1: can't set config #1, error -71
And because of this when the post talks about mounting the filesystem I don't know exactly what to do. I've tried this with the given information by dmesg. A new file call hiddev0 has appeared in /dev/usb/ then I've tried to mount it in /media/usb-drive (with sudo mount /dev/usb/hiddev0 /media/usb-drive/) but the answer is
mount: /media/usb-drive: /dev/usb/hiddev0 is not a block device.
Thanks in advance.
More helpful information.
