I want to grab the phone to try out Ubuntu Touch but I don’t want to contribute to e-waste if I can’t get past the FRP.

Any advise?

    The smartphone is far from ewaste, great jack, with good camera, makes the perfect device for an mp3 player to take along hikes.

      As long as it never touches any network ever again and there is never anything personal installed on it ever again then it should be OK. Be sure to rip out the GSM and/or CDMA chipset, wifi, bluetooth, and NFC. When connecting it to another device through USB, make sure that device is offline and ADB mode is disabled. Remove all sim cards as well.

      There are much better devices for your purpose than some old ass phone tho
