Maybe you are using "sudo cat [tails.iso] > [device]"? This syntax
can't work because "cat" runs as superuser but the redirection (>
[device]) is done as the unprivileged user.
The "troubleshooting" section of that page reports a correct way to do it:
sudo su -
isohybrid [tails.iso] --entry 4 --type 0x1c
cat [tails.iso] > [device] && sync
Using "dd" as you did is another valid method.
Greetings
