(1) I think you should just format the disk image into a regular file,
rather than dumping it to a USB stick, and then dumping it back from there.

(2) Even if you opt for the USB "detour", the above dd command line is
incorrect. You selected a specific partition on the USB stick as input
block device. That's wrong, we need to see the entire disk (partition
table, EFI system partition etc).

Thanks
Laszlo
