--- Comment #2 from Neel Chauhan <nc@FreeBSD.org> ---
Good news, I got this working.

Well, the non-asynchronous ADB implementation, while required on FreeBSD for
compilation was buggy (hence why it was removed). It did not work well with
FreeBSD, or at least modern versions of it.

I defaulted to the "modern" async one, and I could flash LineageOS to a Google
Pixel 3 this way.

In the past, I just recalled adb worked because sideloading a Custom ROM could
use the "TWRP" recovery which allowed "adb push", but LineageOS has phased that
out in favor of their homegrown recovery which only allows "adb sideload".

Closing as I found a resolution. After my last commit (to the repo), this is
more reliable than even adb on FreeBSD in the past (assuming I use a good USB-C
cable)!

It's a lot like how I maintain GNOME: I actually use adb like I use GNOME so I
have an incentive to maintain it well.
