Dear Friend,
My Jetflash also writeprotected, there's no any solution for this in internet but I could solve this problem,
what you can do is, make your write protected drive "shared", that means go to my computer---> then rigtclick on flash drive---> click sharing & security---> check both "share this folder on network" & "allow users to change my files" ,apply setting then you'll be able to format your drive.
I could do it,
let others to know about this solution. Because I also suffered from this problem.
