Connection problems after ROM change - Samsung Gear S

I recently updated my ROM from EchoeRom 4.4.2 to EchoeRom 5.0 on my Galaxy Note 3, and everything works flawlessly, except the connection to my Gear S.
When I try to connect, I get a message that I have to reset my Gear S to factory settings before I can connect. (See attached image)
Is it supposed to do this, or is there a way that I don't have to reset my Gear S to connect?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes, you have to factory reset it. If you backed up your gear data (S health and such) it will restore your data on gear after a reset.

Gear fit not syncing with Galaxy S5 with lollipop.

I've updated mi S5 to Android 5.0 and now my gear fit can't sync. It shows this message: "Failed to connecto to your gear fit. Try to connect via Gear Fit in Gear Fit Manager..."I've tried to flash newwer firmware to the GF but it freezes I've downloaded it from Sammobile which is a single file. I've tried flashing it as AP and as CSC and it just frezzes and it's not installed in my gear fit. I've deleted and reinstalled several times the Gear Fit Manger and it doesn't work.
Do you know if there's anything else that can be done?
After installing a custom rom on my S5 (Omega 5.0.2) my GF Manager automatically upgraded to 1.117.* Previously, I got the connection issues on any version over 1.99.*
Try installing this one https://www.mediafire.com/folder/3q1mvfkrj8hva/Gear_Fit_Manager#pturglzg741lb
Which is 1.117.*

[Q] Problems with latest Gear Fit Manager

Hello,
I have a Gear Fit (SM-R350) connected to a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F). I have downloaded and installed the latest Gear Fit Manager from this forum (1.125.0526). The problem is that a popup keeps telling me to install an update for the Gear Fit Manager and after the update the version of the Gear Fit Manager is 1.117.0306. After a while the popup comes up again and says that I have to install an update... (The same happened with the GFM downloaded from Galaxy Apps) The firmware is R350XXU0BOA2. Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks in advance,
B.R.

Have note4 with android V 5.1.1 and have some problem.
I've cured it, (hopefully permanently)
I've uninstalled gear fit manager after force closing clearing data and cache.
Factory reset the Gear Fit Watch.
Reinstall gear fit manager.
Pair watch etc...
Have not received any update notifications relating to gear fit and manager for almost 2 weeks.....

[Q] [REQ] After Factory Reset How To Reset Gear Manager App Store

Okay so I too have been plagued with the flickering homescreen after the gear manager update, I don't mind factory odin installing a whole new rom over again, my only problem I see is IDK how to reset gear manager so I can install app's that were once previously installed prior to odin flashing the watch.
Is there a way to fix this or would I lose connection with the watch and factory reset it completely and have to resync it again through gear manager.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Remove all the gear stuff on your phone and reinstall gear manager. Than when you did that it will ask you to connect with your gear and it will ask you to reset your gear by pressing the ok button.

Samsung Gear app not working with i9305

I have Samsung Galaxy S3 lte (i9305) with VRToxin v4.0 (Android 6.0.1) and I bought the Gear Fit 2. The problem is when I try to start the Samsung Gear app (from Play-store) it just says my phone is illegally modified and it's uncompatible with Samsung Gear. I have tried to change my phone to the Android 5.1.1 (SlimLP) and Samsungs orginal 4.4.4 and 4.3 Nordic countries NEE (from Sammobile which all didn't even work, they start but then androidui crashes and no way to even get the phone working to the point where I can try to update the OS from Kies). I have tried to manually install (using the guides for Gear 2 and with Gear Fit 2 plugin) the app, but then I even get the error to update the Samsung Gear or my phone is modified and uncompatible with Samsung Gear.
Closest to get the Fit 2 work with my phone has been with Open fit (it recognizes the Gear Fit 2, but it cannot connect to it). So I belive everything else is working correctly but I don't have a working phone app to use with the Gear Fit 2. I cannot be the only one with this problem, but I cannot find anyone talking about it. So, is there any way to get the Samsung Gear to work with my phone as it is now, or is there any rom with which the app would work (I will probably try to install Android 4.1.2 from sammobile later, but I don't keep my hopes up with that) or do I need to start looking for a new phone?
I installed the apps "Samsung Accessory Service", "Gear Fit2 Plugin" and "Samsung Gear" and finally it connected with the phone!!
Good luck!!
