  • Your data is using a compression type that's not supported by ERDAS Imagine. Please provide more detail about the data. What format, where you got it and preferably a gdalinfo report.

experienced similar issue when I downloaded Landsat 8 and 9 images from Usgs archives using Collection 2 level 2 and also collection 2, level 1. the problem is caused compression type used in storages,

here is my solution process to the problem:

 - Unzip your l8 or whatever landsat image it is using band zipper or any other extractor
 - open Erdas;
   using "manage data" => 'import data' tool:
 - change data format to GeoTiff,
 - input your band in the 'input' option

pop up error when loading the band, press OK to continue

note: when you still get an error saying unsupported format, click **OK** 
to continue 

 - set out location for your output and give a name for your band
 - click OK and ok on the next step, wait for process to complete.

 - Done! you can now load your imported band without any problem

for layer stacking, you need to repeat the process for each needed band
