You can listen to $stateChangeSuccess (or any other $state event) and save the fromState

```
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeSuccess', function(event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams, error){
     $rootScope.lastState = { state: fromState, params: fromParams }
});

$rootScope.goBack = function() {
    $state.go($rootScope.lastState.state, $rootScope.lastState.params); //Don forget inject $state into your controller
}
```
