Hue bridge error cannot re-authorize

i cannot re setup my hue bridge… i had to reset it as it would not update to the latest firmware… now i got it updated and working in the philps v2 app.
cannot remove the hue connect app , and it will not try to resync with the hub (ie i need to push the button again but it will ask me and i cannot remove it)

i get the following error in the logs
