Got a Samsung J1 for free, guy forgot his password so gave me the phone in exchange for some frozen hamburger.
Factory Reset put it into a locked mode and it keeps wanting to verify over wifi.
Its got an emergency call option and I tried putting some numbers I found online but those didnt give me any extra options or menus to check.
It has no Sim Card and I dont have any sim cards to put in it. So ive got to get it working without that, end of story.
I dont care about making calls with it. I just want it for wifi/mp3/camera but its pretty crucial because I dont have any other phones right now.

You can unlock all android phones by doing a factory reset, you're just not doing it properly.
Don't really care about your backstory though.

So how you do that?
This is what I did:
Turn on phone while holding Volume Up+Home+Power key. Boot menu comes up, choose wipe data/factory reset. Select Yes near the bottom half of the list. Reboot system.
However upon booting it up it asks for a sim card (none in sight) or to go online to have me login with samsung specifically to check if it matches the account of the previous user.
> even the dude I got it from didnt know his password
I dont have an account at samsung and I couldnt care less to have one.
I need to bypass all of this shit and just get the phone working as an MP3 player.

I suppose my real question is succinctly
How to bypass Setup Wizard and login for Samsung Galaxy J1 AFTER doing a factory reset.
Setup Wizard says: Phone Activation
"Your phone needs a SIM card to work"
it has an option to skip this to use Wi-Fi
"Note: you can set up your phone using Wi-Fi but you will not be able to make or receive calls until your phone has been activated on the verizon network"
> brilliant, since I dont care about using it for calls, only wifi internet, apps, and mp3
However it doesnt go farther beyond that - connecting it to a wifi just brings up an account verification thing.
I know its a theft deterrent but it wasnt stolen.

IE, I need to break the FRP factory reset protection lock

Wow. Is this the third stolen phone thread this hour?
>>
>>59707175
but it wasnt, and I paid for the phone, technically
dude gave it to me because he couldnt figure out how to get it working anymore, as far as he was concerned it was bricked (he couldnt get into his account and gave up).
