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tried to flash GrapheneOS as it seemed retard level easy, but I keep getting an error that my ADB tools were out of date and to update them.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

Are you invoking ADB from its install directory or via command line from a different location? If the latter, check your PATH environment variable (assuming Windows) and make sure it's really pointing to the correct latest version of ADB rather than an old version somewhere else.

Hope this helps dude.

I'm doing ADB from the folder. Shift + right click -> Open Command Window Here.

Doing a cursory search I found that the out of date error you're getting is pretty common.

Maybe this will help: https://visualgdb.com/adbfix/

Basically just redirects older adb versions from phone sync setups to whatever your newer SDK version is.

And despite what the fags giving you shit were saying, this is not intuitive or obvious at all:

"Every time you connect your phone to a USB port, the sync application will try to start its own version of adb.exe interfering with your one."
