The key thing you omitted is the "why" you have not been able to format, or wipe the device. Why not? What happens, what error or failure?

Then you need to use JL_Cmder to wipe and reload the OS.

No, you must have the BIS account active ON the device to setup email, Facebooks, etc., and those apps which require BIS data.
You can use WiFi meanwhile, with the browser in Hotspot mode (Options > Advanced > Browser > Hotspot and save) when you are connected to a WiFi router for browsing the internet. That's about all.
