Hi,
I have a 32GB flash, Unfortunately during a format, flash is not detected by my PC, I think maybe the firmware inside the chip is lost, so do you know any way to re-flash the firmware? I think maybe they have a common chipset and there should be some way to bring it back to life.

you have tool like : SD card formater 5.0.1 from Tuxera
a normal format should not brick you usb key even if its linux or mac file(s) format, windows should pop this device need to be formated ...
or this usb dongle is sh@%$% "crap" I have found in the past many faked sizes usb dongle, an 1tb size for 8$ usd lolll was an 8 gb loll
For the firmware(s) you need to know the maker chip inside and if possible to find any related tools for that maker
ChipGenius v4 .... to identify it if possible
Or see usbdev.ru website in some cases ...

Thanks for the hint, the flash was working fine and I have used it for several months,
After this last time format, windows can not detect it
it would say this
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.

This website http://usb3speed.nirsoft.net/?vid=2316&pid=8192 (http://usb3speed.nirsoft.net/?vid=2316&pid=8192) shows many different brands and sizes with varying performance all sharing the same vid and pid

Is there a way to flash the chip inside? :-[

You have to find the maker software if there is .... check usbdev ... sometimes based on the VID PID you can find some hints
