Afaik, unetbootin unpacks the ISO and replaces the boot loader software.
Debian discourages its use with live and installation ISOs.

The Debian ISOs for i386 are ready to be simply copied onto the device
file of the overall USB stick (i.e. to /dev/sdX not to /dev/sdX1).

After ensuring that /dev/sdd really is the device address of the USB
stick, you just do

  dd if=debian-live-9.0.1-i386-lxde.iso bs=4M of=/dev/sdd ; sync

See
  https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#write-usb

Example how to make sure to have the correct device file or to make
a backup of the old stick content:
