Phone does not shut down completely HTC Aria

[cpu2]

After I S-offed my HTC Aria 2.2.2 with alpharevx my would would not shut down completely but the screen would turn black but still generate some light. when I tried to press the power button it didn't work. Can someone tell me why? THX

Its doing this when you long press power and select "power off"? Obviously it won't do this if the battery is pulled, but does it continue to not "power off" after a battery pull and shut off?
