I have this problem atm.

I updated Electrum to 3.0.5 from 3.0.3. I've tried using my 8 word seed to restore and no balance or history is showing.

The 2 ways I have tried are:

1. New wallet from old seed. It can create but no balance or history shows.

2. 2FA method but get stuck at enter seed (the "Next" button is grayed out after entering seed). I am using a 8 word seed. Some other people that have commented on YouTube also have my problem.

I have been looking for solution for 2 weeks now.

Can't you go back to 3.0.3 and then send coins to another wallet?

Buy a Trezor and Protect your BTC, BCH, BTG, DASH, LTC, DGB, ZEC, ETH and ETC from hackers.

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

Edit: What electrum version was the wallet originally created in? If you don't know the version do you know the time period it was created in?
