A few years ago, a damaged USB stick by Hama (with both USB-A and USB-B-Micro OTG sides; FAT32) was damaged in a way that allowed the data to be read by portable boombox radios with USB port (tested on multiple ones), yet the PC suggested me to format it, which means it detected no file system.
A data recovery software called IsoBuster could still read the file system with no issues.
The PC was running Windows 10 (I mainly use Linux Mint since some time), but I did not test it on Linux.
I no longer have that file system on that USB stick. That USB stick is now for testing purposes.
