No, it should work on devices as well.
What worries me is that you had pasted dd erasing whole device and
this would destroy the MBR as well and then it might not be a MBR
issue. If you:
dd if=/dev/zero of=<your usbstick>
partprobe
parted mklabel <your usbstick> msdos
It still fails? If yes, please paste the output.
