I've got a usb stick which isn't recognized correctly by my system (Linux Mint 18, kernel version 4.4.0-34-generic). With lsusb the device is shown (it's the Kingston Technology DataTraveler G4):

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 062a:4102 Creative Labs 
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04f2:b217 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd Lenovo Integrated Camera (0.3MP)
Bus 001 Device 035: ID 0951:1666 Kingston Technology DataTraveler G4
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

But sudo fdisk -l doesn't show my device. This is why I can't get a UUID or something like /dev/sdb1, so I can't mount or format my thumb drive. Now I'm searching for ideas to make the thumb drive working properly again.

I plugged the thumb drive into a USB 2 port as I haven't got a USB 3 port. The thumb drive is connected directly with my laptop and it's the only device which is connected. I often tried disconnecting and reconnecting the thumb drive, but nothing happened.

Gparted doesn't recognize the usb stick. There is no driver related to "Kingston" in the driver manager.

This is the output of dmesg: http://pastebin.com/NR21FEWC

fdisk /dev/sg2 gives me this output:

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.27.1).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

fdisk: cannot open /dev/sg2: No such file or directory

ls /dev/sd* gives me this output:

/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda4

Try creating a UDEV rule under /etc/udev/rules.d/

So create a rules file /etc/udev/rules.d/test.rules then add this in there:

ACTION=="add", ATTRSidVendor=="0951", ATTRSidProduct=="1666", SYMLINK+="Earls-Kingston-Thumbdrive"

Restart UDEV by running sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart

Remove and plug in the thumb drive and now you should have UDEV detect and create a symlink under /dev/Earls-Kingston-Thumbdrive
