But i did not have the OG email, and i could not change the original main email in the account to mine, so what are the methods can i change it into mine? Should i transfer the whole channel to another channel under my 2nd account? Thank you

I don't understand what you're asking, what do you need the OG email for?

To prevent the seller from claiming back the channel? As i supposed that there's a chance that the seller will use the original youtube email to claim back the entire channel? Or am i wrong?

First, make sure you know everything about it.
This has happened with me once, I did not know if I change the ownership something it was saying a brand channel.
I know nothing about the brand channel, I was playing around and guess what?
I added my email and suddenly all monetization disappeared and subscribers lost.
i was like BAMM. I purchased for 400$ ( it was monetized)and it becomes 0 with blink of an eye. I did not know still what happened to it
SO make sure what you do, you should ask few people first otherwise it won't take a lot of time in loosing a channel

So you mean brand channel can't do ownership transfer?

This usually happens if the channel's monetization is connected to an MCN. Once you change the account adsense so will the monetization status.

How do we know the channel is connected to MCN?

if he sold it to you, he shouldnt. you need to make yourself the 'owner' of the channel. you have to wait one day for it to change completely and you will become the owner, pnce you are the primary owner, you can remove the other person.
also you can move the channel to a different account as well.
if someone sold a channel to you, they should have told you all these.

It's actually the opposite. Scammers will sometimes sell someone a channel and give them the email account, then tell Google that the email account was hacked and sometimes recover it stealing back the channel. It seems to be safer to buy YouTube channels via channel ownership transfer.

Ideally the seller would add your email as an owner to the channel then they would remove their own access and make you the primary owner (they hsould change their own role, not you). If YouTube reviews the activity and sees that they revoked their own access then there's likely nothing the seller can do to recover the channel.

There are always anonalies of course but this is most likely the safest way to do these transactions.
