Hi @Cupar19, before you begin executing the "createinstallmedia" command, are you preparing the USB drive using Disk Utility? The correct steps are: navigate to Applications/Utilities and open Disk Utility. In the upper left corner, choose "View" then select "Show all devices." Locate your device in the top section and click "Erase." Set the format to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" and "GUID Partition map." Erase the USB stick, close Disk Utility, then open the terminal. Run the command: sudo /Applications/Install macOS Catalina.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --nointeraction && say Drive Completed. One final reminder, avoid using a USB 3 device for this installer—stick to USB 2. I’m not sure why this is the case, but I just know it won’t work with OS X. Good luck!

My post is quite outdated, which is why I had to give up eventually, though I tried your suggestions.

Have you tested another USB port? Consider options like Unibeast and Multibeast.
