Well... This worked for the most part for my eternity, but ummm, after I flash it and it resets it works, but when I turn it off, it won't come back on and then I take the battery out, it goes back to that same old black box with a blue boarder with that dang red message, I've tried a full flash and partial flash.

Any suggestions?

Possible hardware damage.... But you could try full flashing with boot files.

Well flashing the boot files does make it work... and much faster Tongue but my phone still messes up, but as long as I don't drop it and the battery comes out or if it goes dead or I turn it off I'm fine, been on all night last night and still works, my bluetooth don't work and my cam halfway works,

I did the complete firmware flash on my Eternity since it kept re-booting after receiving water damage.  The re-flashing process completed 100% but now when I power it up a light blue screen appears with the message "initializing file system...please wait 10 sec" and then it just shuts down again.  Is there a fix for this or is my phone only good for paper weight?  Any helpful suggestion would be really appreciated.

Flash it with the boot files included.

It probably has water damage.  Some of the capacitor, fuse, or resistor may have been fried.  You're probably better getting a different phone.  If you do get a new phone and have no use for the damaged Eternity, please feel free to donate it to the forum.

Don't type in all caps again, or nobody will answer your question. Make sure you are in bootloader mode on your phone. Make sure you have the right drivers. Make sure that your cable is a USB data cable and not a USB charging cable. Try it on another computer.

You must not have the drivers installed.
