How do I change my USB from read only in Linux?

The easiest and fastest way to this: run your terminal as root sudo su . unmount the directory in which the USB pen drive is automatically mounted by running : umount /media/linux/YOUR_USB_NAME . as you can see in step 2 the USB pen drive got /dev/sdb1 partition and filesystem is vfat; now run dosfsck -a /dev/sdb1 .

How do I take my USB off of read only?

Right-click the WriteProtect and change the value from 1 to 0. Then, click “OK” to disable read only for your USB drive.
