The faithful bi-module \ulcornerM\ulcorner with its endomorphism ring End\ulcorner(M) such that M\ulcorner is flat (in other words, End\ulcorner(M)-flat, or endo-flat)and with a commutative ring R containing an identity has been studied in this paper. The chain conditions of a faithful endo-flat module \ulcornerM relative to those of the endomorphism ring End\ulcorner(M) having the zero annihilator of each non-zero endomorphism are studied.

In this paper, a left module over an associative ring with identity is defined to be openly semiprimitive (strongly semiprimitive, respectively) by the zero intersection of all maximal open fully invariant submodules (all maximal open submodules which are fully invariant, respectively) of it. For any projective module, the openly semiprimitivity of the projective module is an equivalent condition of the semiprimitivity of endomorphism ring of the projective module and the strongly semiprimitivity of the projective module is an equivalent condition of the endomorphism ring of the projective module being a sub direct product of a set of subdivisions of division rings.

In this paper, for any ring R with an identity, in order to study prime ideals of the endomorphism ring $End_R$(M) of left R-module $_RM$, meet-prime submodules, prime radical, sum-prime submodules and the prime socle of a module are defined. Some relations of the prime radical, the prime socle of a module and the prime radical of the endomorphism ring of a module are investigated. It is revealed that meet-prime(or sum-prime) modules and semi-meet-prime(or semi-sum-prime) modules have their prime, semi-prime endomorphism rings, respectively.

In this paper, the authors have found an equivalent condition of the endomorphism ring End(M) of a projective module M being von Neumann regular(Theorem 1.14) and found an equivalent condition of any associative ring R being von Neumann regular (Theorem 1.13).

For any S-flat module RM(which will be called endoflat) with a commutaitve ring R with identity, where S is the endomorphism ring RM, the fact that every epimorphism is an automorphism has been proved and the Jacobson Radical Rad(S) of S is described as follow; Rad(S) = { f$\in$S｜Imf=Mf is small in M} = {f$\in$S｜Imf $\leq$Rad(M)}. Additionally for any quasi-injective endo-flat module RM, the fact that every monomorphism is an automorphism has been proved and the Jacobson Radical Rad(S) for any quasi-injective endo-flat module has been studied too. Also some equivalent conditions for the semi-primitivity of any faithful endo-flat module RM with the open Jacobson Radical Rad(M) and those for the semi-simplicity of any faithful endo-flat quasi-injective module RM with the closed Socle Soc(M) have been studied.
