Change last page URL

I have 3 steps form, like this:

http://example.com/first-step
http://example.com/second-step
http://example.com/summary-step

I also have profile page:

http://example.com/profile

Requirement is that user cannot get back (using browser's back button) from summary-step to any of previous steps, he/she should be redirected to profile page.

This logic, for some reasons, unfortunely cannot be done on backend side, so only thing remaining is manipulating browser's history. In other words, if user reaches summary-step, previous page in browser history should be replaced from second-step to profile.

Is it doable? Important fact is that this should work not only on desktop, but also most popular mobile devices (iOS >= 7, Android, WP7+). Anchor hacks or adding url's get parameter is also impossible, as long as it hits backend.

This is how you can add your Profile page URL to the history using Javascript! 

window.history.pushState('profile', null, '/profifeURL');
