I can successfully unlock the bootloader of my pixel.

I have ADB / fastboot working. I understand the CLI. I "know" what to do but I get retarded errors constantly when I actually try to flash.

I eventually tried to flash GrapheneOS as it seemed retard level easy, but I keep getting an error that my ADB tools were out of date and to update them. Except I have the most recent version.

I know this is not what you want to hear, but check your adb tools again to be 100% sure. I failed for three days the first time I tried to install LineageOS before I finally found the problem, and it was an out of date adb.

If that turns out good to go and you still have issues, feel free to contact me. I've run LineageOS on other devices, and have run DU and Graphene both on my current. Not an expert at all, but I've done my fair share of troubleshooting to get those to work.

I've locked and factory reset the phone 3 times and nothing works.

I honestly have no clue what to do.

When factory reset, does it become functional?

P.S. If I drop out of the conversation, I'm asleep. Already in bed now. I'll be back later.

It never loses functionality. I'm not soft bricking it. I can never get to the point to even make that mistake.
