Sorry to say -- I'm stumped!
EDIT: Can you plug in the USB, open Thunar file manager and look to see if it shows up under "/mnt"? If yes, see if you can save something to it.
Aside from not knowing how/why your prior pic was showing that the USB was mounted at "/mnt" instead of "/media/alex", steps you just listed look fine and it should be working.
Can you open GParted and do Device -> Create Partition Table -> "msdos"; then make a new FAT32 partition that covers whole disk?
If not, maybe try one last time to zero it out with dd.
If still no luck, maybe you just got unlucky and ended up with a dud USB.
