I've used woeusb on ubuntuUbuntu the following way    (thisWarning: this will overwrite your whole partition table!):

    sudo woeusb --tgt-fs NTFS --device Win10_1809Oct_Hungarian_x64.iso /dev/sdc

If you encounter this error message:

"Partition is still detected after wiping all signatures, this indicates that the drive might be locked into readonly mode due to end of lifespan."

Partition is still detected after wiping all signatures, this indicates that the drive might be locked into readonly mode due to end of lifespan.

do the following: sudo fdisk /dev/sdc, and choose d and then finally w.

Anyway, with this method woeusb created a gpt partition table with two partitions:

    partition      file system    label          size          flags
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    /dev/sdc1      nfts           Windows USB     57.00 GiB
    /dev/sdc2      fat16          UEFI_NTFS      512.00 KiB    lba
    unallocated                                    4.00 MiB

Finally, all I had to do is to put the boot flag with gparted for the /dev/sdc2 partition (alongside lba).

This way, I could sucessfully boot in UEFI mode and install Windows 10 from my usbUSB stick. I hope this helps.
