Silly Question...

I just sold my HTC One X with 4.0.3 on it and I want to ship it!!

I just did a factory reset to clear it, now it rebooted and wants to go through the setup. The issue is, its fully charged, and I want the person to receive it fully charged and ready to go through the setup. The normal power button doesn't give me an option to power it down. If I hold it down, it eventually restarts right back to the setup menu. I can't remove the battery as this is a unibody phone like the iphones.

Anyone got any ideas? Need this thing shut off ASAP so I can ship it. Google isn't liking me today. I'd prefer not to go through the setup to power it off, but its looking like I may have to.

holding it for a brief period would ask me to restart.

Holding it down as long as I could would bring a menu up that started counting down from 5 to restart the phone, and it counter kept ticking as long as you held it down.

I couldn't find any combination to power down the phone.

Once through the setup, I just held the power button for a sec or too and the normal menu appears to "power down"
