To create a bootable USB fo Mac OS X El Capitan you need to be able to convert the

InstallMacOSX.pkg to the Install OS X El Capitan.app, this can only be done on macs

that are capable or running El Capitan, this includes macs that have been upgraded to later OS's.

But crucially does not include macs that came preinstalled from new with a new OS.
