In any case, if you have not touched your wallet for 7 years, it will not sync If your electrum version is older than V3.0.5, you will need to update the wallet.

Keep your old phone working without touching it, download the wallet to a new phone, verify the signature, and since the Google Authenticator setup was at the software level (meaning your wallet is not Electrum 2fa with TrustedCoin (2-of-3 multi-sig)), then you can easliy recovering your wallet via the seed.

In new wallet click on Create / Restore a wallet, give it a name, enter your seed and will store your funds.
