$ionicHistory on goBack success

Question

$ionicHistory on goBack success

I'd like to do something like, but goBack doesn't return promise:

$ionicHistory.goBack().then(function(){
$state.go('thirdState');
}

First state -> second state and when user call the method above -> first state and immediately go to some third state, so user can back only to first state. When I use:

$ionicHistory.goBack()
$state.go('thirdState');

User can still go back to my second state. What options I have to solve this problem?

Ok, I solved it this way:

var offState = $rootScope.$on('$stateChangeSuccess', 
            function(event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams){
                $state.go('thirdState');
                offState();
            });
$ionicHistory.goBack();
