I'm in the same boat, even though I have the email, password and recovery email; and all the emails from the account forward to me.

If all of us who are locked out of our Google accounts got together and made a HN post, we might be able to get it on the front page, which is the only officially-recognized support channel for Google now.

I have access too at my recovery email. But without my old phone....

Again, my lawyer wrote them a letter via snail mail. No response.

The only way I can think is to pay someone to intercept the SMS messages and get the 2FA code that way.

I never set up 2FA on my account, Google did it for me after I had lost the number.
