Rooted, Now Shutdown Gets Stuck at Pink Goodbye Screen.

Hi all!
A few days ago I rooted my stock T989(ICS) using the galaxys2root method and everything went well. The only issue I ran into though, when I turn off my phone normally (hold power then shutdown), it will get stuck at the pink goodbye screen (as did about 3 others in the comment section of the GS2Root website). When I was unrooted, turning off the device normally, it would hangup a bit at the pink goodbye screen as well, only for about 30 seconds at the most though. In this current state, I've ran this over 5 minutes and it still stays at the pink goodbye screen.
I didn't see this to be too much of an issue since I use notification toggle, which has a a restart and power off toggle that I can access in the notification bar for rooted users. But last night I didn't charge my phone so it was dead when I woke up. The thing is, it was hot. So I'm thinking it got hung up on the pink goodbye screen until the very last drop of battery left. So it just worry's me in the long run if it happens again here and there of affecting the battery. It showed 0% when I plugged in to charge and did take a while to go past that number.
Some background:
-Completely stock rom and kernels (know nothing about flashing/intimidating to do for me as I don't want to ruin anything)-slowly looking into it though
-Only rooted because I wanted to save some game data.
-I've already done factory reset but it didn't fix the issue.
Hopefully any input will help out others with the same problem as well!

Either that or install a shell, umount, then wipe properly.

Darkside Cache Wipe always fixes my issues. It's said not to use CWM fix permissions or cache wipes. Using the Darkside also aligns your card.

Thanks guys! So DarkSide it is then.
So in order to do this, it's essentially just like rooting, right?
This is how I'm thinking of it based on GS2Root's video:
-Boot into clockwork mod recovery
-Install zip from sd card
-Choose zip from sd card
-Find DarkSide Cache Wipe in where ever folder I put it in (which I finally found the download link and hoping this is the right one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477955)
-Choose the zip and apply.
-Done?
Are these the right steps? Or is there anything special after and/or before that I need to do? Don't have to install the DarkSide rom beforehand?
Also, would I ever need to uninstall this for an update? I just read somewhere on my drippler app that t mobile or samsung will provide a future update for bug fixes, but not jelly bean.

That's correct steps then just reboot. It's a script that does what cwm should do plus more. It will wipe both cache partitions then properly fix permissions. It's not installing anything so it won't effect any future updates. Also doesn't matter what Rom your on, it's not specific. Just a fix for cwm not working correctly.

same thing happened to me and the darkside program works perfectly

Is it just me, or is there a new thread posted every few days for this exact same issue?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I did that and for me what had happened is that it would stall at the loading screen and not budge until I did a cwm restore. Can anyone explain what is going on?

I was having the issue with the phone hanging on goodbye screen and not shutting off. I ran the darkside wipe now hung on start screen. I'm fairly new can anyone help please.

darkside wipe deleted your rom and its data... thats what its designed to do.... do you cant go past the start screen because there is nothing to boot too... reflash your rom or get a different rom.

Did you run the superwipe as you are directed to do? it is a pretty simple process and it will not wipe your ROM.

Superwipe will in fact wipe your ROM. Cache wipe will not wipe your ROM, and will probably help with the reboot hangs.
Superwipe is for before you flash a ROM.
Cache wipe is for problems after an install.

[Q] Wallpaper/Home Screen Jittering?

Ok so I've had my S3 Since Aug 20th, rooted was running the LH9 AT&T Rom with root injected (which I upgraded from the previous root injected rom LH1 or something like that), anyways today while messing with my homescreen wallpaper, trying to get it to set a wallpaper without cropping it, now it sort of after waking it up and getting passed the lock screen (the wipe lockscreen) the wallpaper seems to move, like for a sec its like moved to the side and part of the screen is black until the wallpaper "falls" back into place.. hard to explain. I read about flickering issues but I don't think mine is doing that, its just the wallpaper. Any ideas?
I uninstalled any wallpaper apps I had just in case, but still nothing works. I even made a wallpaper with the correct dimensions which I read for portrait is 720x1280 and still the wallpaper, the whole screen actually gets bumped to the side and you see black on one side until it bumps back into place.
Its really annoying. I am trying to grab a screen capture but it does it too fast, yet not fast enough that I can ignore it.
Did this again with ICS I updated to the JB rom for AT&T with root injected, stock rom hoping whatever it was would go way... it did not.
Anyone else see this? Have this happen?
I even went back to a stock wallpaper to see if it would stop but still it continues.
Really confused as to why its doing that.

Here is a screen cap of what I mean.
Happens when passing lock screen, coming out of an apparently, anytime I get to home screen.

did you try reinstalling the rom? either just wipe dalvik and cache, if that doesnt work. reflashing after fully wiping. make sure your download is correct.

Reinstall using Odin?
Its odd because it just started today, I'd had the same stock image for months. JB update didn't cause it. It just didn't fix it.
I dont think it's the rom but no clue what it could be.
I don't got a custom loader. How can I wipe dalv and cashe without one?

So you're saying this issue started long after your last firmware update?

phone is starting to act up

I am starting to get a list of issues with my phone.
The screen no longer will shut off unless i hit the power button - comes back on and stays on if I get any kind of notification (email, sms, facebook....ect)
The led no longer comes on when its charging
I have to shut off wifi and turn it back on to get on wifi
when playing some games I get FC's or it will just hang and I will have to reboot.
anybody else with these issues?

No, cant say I am. But then, I'm stock unrooted, nothing modded or changed... yet.
How 'bout you?

Try going back to stock rooted and run PimpMyRom from the Market. Gives you all the non-themed goodies of a custom rom without the bugs and broken parts. You pick what you want to apply.

This may or may not do anything but I would try to clear cache and dalvik.

I'm stock rooted LJC. No mods... going to back some stuff up and factory reset and start over.

for most of that it sounds like settings issues. the game fc tho is odd.

[Q] Black Screen & Need to Remove Battery to Reboot?

Every so often my Note 2 will not turn on with the home button or power button. I cant hold the power button either to reboot it. I have to remove the battery and when I do, the battery life shows a huge gap. Like it would be at 90%, but then it would be 6% when it turns on.
I don't know what causes this and want to find out what it is. Any monitoring apps I could use or something?

This feels hardware related to me, I'd be taking it back to where you bought it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

Would it have anything to do with Lux possibly making the screen go to -99 or something despite my settings otherwise? or maybe I have some run-away app?

I am assuming you rooted it or flashed a new ROM? If not, just bring it back to ATT
If you rooted it or flashed something, I would restore it first.
I had this occur when I flashed a ROM and restored all my apps and data. Phone would seem to run fine for about 6 hours and then something caused it to go black and only taking out the battery would get it back. Once I flashed it properly the problem went away.
I suggest that you get the stock TAR file for the ATT ROM from the Samsung web site (likes around here somewhere) and reflash it with ODIN and see what happens. and it it does the same thing, just take it to ATT store.

Your phone is broken and youre afraid of app data?
Flashing usually wipes apps and such but not photos. That takes a factory wipe.

Are you on stock ? If so then just do as stated above. If you are rooted, we might need more info.

I installed several roms full wipe and still same thing some roms worst then others but over all same thing

Tried using different scheduler/governor?
Also, are you doing anything specific when it locks up? Any app being used?
