If you could provide the model number, settings, more, then about device or settings about device (Model number)
Then i could help you further. If a custom recovery is available this would be an easy fix.
 
Attached you will find the screenie of my phone information. Please let me know if you would need any other information to be able to help me further. Thanks for your response.

I have looked for a custom recovery for that device. Unfortunately i didn't find one. The other easy option would be to use Odin to reflash stock firmware. Then Google play would be reinstalled. Then root the device again. Problem solved.

I will look again on my laptop. WiFi is spotty at best when I'm on the road.

Thank you so much for taking the time to address my problem. I, perhaps, was not too clear in the description of my problem. The issue did not really start when I rooted my device. It started when I decided that I should use the power of my rooted device to uninstall Google Play. I have tried many many Solutions to resolve this problem over the last month.Yours is the first solution that sounds unique and I shall investigate Odin fully tomorrow. Re-rooting my device will not be a problem and I hope to use my rooted device much more wisely in the future. have a great evening and I shall contact you in the future to update you on my progress.

Have you tried sideloading an apk of Google Play? Might be a lot easier than reverting back to stock and re-rooting.
 
If you need help just post on the site. I do have a Teamviewer commercial license. So if need be i can connect remotely and help you flash firmware.
 
I have downloaded Odin3_v3.10.6 and MobileODINLITE-v4.000 and Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.44 and USB_Drivers_1.5.27.0 ... so ... what do you recommend as my next step or info resource ?
 
BTW ... There is no huge rush ... I want to thoroughly clean my phone of crap and do a serious backup before I do any flashing ...

BTW2 ... DAYAM It is a LOT easier to communicate with this site when phone is tethered to my HUGE PC and monitor ... :)
 
No ... it was purchased from Mobistar Belgium on a 2 year subscription deal which the phone came along with a month ago. Mobistar is a VERY LARGE mobile phone service provider here in Belgium. Screenshot of my phones EXACT specs from my phone's "about" screen to follow
 
See details attached ... extremely detailed Knox version details available upon request ...

Thanks again.

I've gotten a few Google hits for firmware using the search terms

"Samsung Galaxy Core Prime stock firmware"
...but nothing from a site recognize... so I can't say for sure if it's legit.

I thought that it was necessary to have the exact firmware specs I attached a couple posts ago to track down the proper firmware but ... I don't know shit.
 
Just curious, do you remember the method you used to uninstall Google Play? Was it a App Remover app?
