    So I found my old s2 and when I turned it on it always boots to safe mode where nothing comes up only screen with status bar and absolutely nothing else. Volume up works only when holding power button and volume down isn't working at all even in recovery so I am unable to get it into download mode or navigate recovery to try factory reset. Is it a lost cause? Or any ideas to fix?

    Nope, your phone is fine. Your volume button is stuck, which makes you boot into safe mode.
    Open up your phone (if comfortable) and gently wipe the switch for any debris present.

    Also, could you please check if the /efs partition is intact?
    That is where things like the IMEI and MAC address, etc, are stored.

    Boot to recovery;
    mount /efs;

    Open a terminal:

    adb shell

    # cd /efs
    # ls -a >> /sdcard/efscontents.txt
    # exit

    adb pull /sdcard/efscontents.txt

    Paste the file here so I can compare it to my /efs.
