Hey everyone. I am currently on the official 4.0.3. ICS. Rooted obviously. Everything works fine but everytime I shut the phone down or restart it will freeze on the "Goodbye" screen. And not shut down at all. Just hangs there. I always have to pull the battery out. Can anyone help me get rid of this problem?

I let it hang for 2 hours and nothing! So I was patient.

There was talk about that over at galaxys2root.com -- some phones did it, some didn't. Looks like a bug in T-Mo's software that comes to light when the phone is rooted (I did the same with mine at 4.0.3 and it hung for about 30 seconds before shutting down).

Might I suggest un-rooting, upgrading to 4.0.4 (it's far more stable), and then re-rooting? GalaxyS2Root.com has great tutorials on how to do that.

I never bothered to root the phone after that, since I can turn off most of the bloat, but that's my preference ;)
