You should have iTunes, and you can restore it from there

ye but when I plug the phone thru my USB to my laptop it's not detecting it, the phone turns on and it loops back and forth but that's about it

You must place it into recovery mode or DFU Mode then initiate a restore via itunes.

IT REALLY IS

this link dont lie.
okay so after a lot of testing, I tried it with a better charger and it looks like it worked this time, HOWEVER, my battery is charging terribly slow, like it's on 1% for like 30 min 1 hour now?

any ideas?

Garbage battery maybe that's why it was being sold.

Try getting a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol and cleaning the charging port, if it still charges slowly it has to be something with the battery.
go to ifixit and grab a new batter. comes with the kit and instructions on how to replace
