Did you tr using the dd command?

dd if=/path_to_iso/parrot.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=8192

or ou can also use dcfldd, which additionally is using file verification.

Despite some rumors, people here aren't any more clairvoyant than elsewhere.

So you'll probably get better answers if you provide more details, such
as the actual errors you see, the specific way you "flashed" the USB
key, precisely what it is you flashed onto that key, what machine you're
trying to boot, and/or how exactly you tried to boot with that flashed
USB key.

Parrot Security (and therefore ParrotOS) is not Debian, it's based on
Debian. As such, the answer you get is only best endeavours. I have *no*
idea how their images work but Debian images can be copied straight to flash.

If you're using Rufus - use dd mode to write the disk image to the USB
flash disk.

I'd use the dd command from a Linux box - but that's me, and I'm assuming
you might be starting from a Windows machine.

I’ve been tryed to boot a flash usb of 4Gb with
balenaEtcher-1.19.-21-x64.AppImage and Parrot-home-4.4_i386.iso and gives
me the Error:(0, h.requestMetadata) is not a function

Who/what gives you this error? When does it give you this error?

Have you tried to ask your favorite search engine about
"Error:(0, h.requestMetadata) is not a function"?

It looks like a question about Parrot OS.

Maybe it is more appropriate for <https://www.parrotsec.org/community/>.
