So first off, this is not a stolen phone. My neighbor recently passed away and my family was able to buy the house with everything in it. She was quite the hoarder and we found like 20 phones, most were garbage but there were a few S8s and an S10+ preserved in an OtterBox.

When I powered the phone on it was already reset and asking for the previous Pin or Google account.

It's running on SM-G975USQS4DTF6.
The IMEI is clean and it appears to be fully paid off.

I've tried so many different methods (reflashing stock, trying to flash combos, Samsung FRP bypass, etc.) but at this point I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing so I thought I'd ask for some help.

Is there any way to salvage this phone? Or is it as good as a brick at this point?

Meh... we get this once a week or more.

Ah, that's what I was afraid of. Any idea what I could do with the phone? Donate it somewhere where they have the ability to wipe it and give it away to someone? It's just gonna be sitting in a drawer otherwise.
I'll even give it back to sprint, but I was hoping to avoid that since they'll probably just refurbish it and sell it.

Do a Google search. How well those solutions work I have no idea.
At least you didn't get irate like the last poster.
There are solutions and workarounds here though for many other problems with Samsung's.
Plus modes, rooting guides and custom roms.

I appreciate the advice! Unfortunately I've exhausted pretty much every method I've been able to find.

And yeah, you don't need to worry about me getting irate. I totally get it, 99.9% of FRP locked phones are stolen, if you guys encouraged FRP bypass discussions here it would open up a whole can of worms, and that's not worth it for the ~3 people per year who have a legit reason to bypass it.

Thanks for the heads up though! Good to know this isn't the best place to be looking for an answer.

It's a good place for Android answers... just not that one.

FRP is one of my most despised Gookill features.
Worse I have a very long, complex password so entering it by hand is really fun... not.
I disable my account and do the reset from settings to avoid having to deal with it when doing a factory reset. Find my Device is another I hate.
Scoped storage and forced encryption are on the top of my list though. I refuse to go higher then Android 10 because of that Apple like crapware🤣
