electrum wallet version 2.6.4 need help!!!

[noobiesaibot]

so i had to erase everything on my phone including the google 2 way authentication app which i used to create my electrum wallet. i forgot i needed it up until i tried to send some bitcoin. problem is i cant because i deleted the 2 way authentication app..... my question is how do i get around this? i tried to restore the wallet and made sure it was the same kind of wallet... i entered the seed and the "next" button remains unclickable..i made sure all the words were correct..wrote them down twice to be sure... what are my options now? im trying to move all the bitcoins from that wallet to another.... ive tried the solutions posted up but none of them work ... im on version 2.6.4

The only thing you could do is recover the wallet using the seed, that should work.
If you are unable to do that (button unclickable as you said), It means that your seed is mostly likely wrong (when you did the seed backup , maybe you typed it wrong) or a word is missing most likely.

i may be mistaken about this because i never used Electrum with 2FA feature but

Electrum seed has 13 words in it when you use version 2.x and it was 12 words before in version 1.x http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/seedphrase.html#length-of-the-seed-phrase

so unless seed is different in wallets with 2FA, it should still be 13 words not 25.

seed mnemonic is indeed 25 words for 2FA wallets.

So you have the 25 word seed and you selected the correct type of wallet when attempting to restore the wallet (as show in the image here)? If your answer is yes to both questions then the possibilities are as follows:

1) the words are mispelt or the wrong words
2) the order of the words is incorrect
3) there is a bug in electrum.

Let's rule out 1 and 2 before we go blaming electrum, OK? If you go to this URL below you will find the entire electrum english language dictionary. All the words that electrum uses to represent seeds are listed there. See if all the words in your seed are listed there and the spelling is correct:

If you find all 25 words of your seed there then it's down to the order of the words. If all 25 words are not found there then see if you can figure out what the mistake is i.e. mispelling or typo or what.
