Mar 2, 2011 at 16:38 comment added Tommaso Centeleghe I think I was looking at a false generalization of what W. uses. I included a proof of his statement below. Thanks for your time.

Mar 2, 2011 at 14:20 comment added Chris Wuthrich No, the point is that in your EDIT 2, you have $A = B$ as you start with a subset of endomorphisms.

Mar 2, 2011 at 13:41 comment added Tommaso Centeleghe @Chris. You are right, in general it should not be true. However if the endomorphism ring of $E$ is a maximal order, then it should hold. As W. explains.

Mar 2, 2011 at 13:17 comment added Chris Wuthrich They have different $j$-invariant. Yes, as right modules. I don't see why the fact that this ideal is principal will imply that they should be isomorphic.

Mar 2, 2011 at 13:09 comment added Tommaso Centeleghe Thanks for your comment. I am not fully able to verify your counterexample. You are saying that the map from Hom(E,E') to End(E) sending x to $\hat\varphi$x gives an iso between Hom(E,E') and the ideal (2) as right End(E) modules, right? If this is the case then shouldn't E be isomorphic to E', because of the principality of that ideal? Anyway I am going to edit my question and post what Waterhouse actually says...
Mar 2, 2011 at 12:54 comment added Chris Wuthrich I took $k=\mathbf{F}_5$. Am I doing something wrong, here ? Sorry I do not have Waterhouse at hand.
Mar 2, 2011 at 12:53 comment added Chris Wuthrich I do not see why your statement is true in the following example. Take $\psi$ to be the $2$-isogeny from $E : y^2=x^3+x$ to the non-isomorphic $E': y^2 = x^3+x+3$ killing the point $(2,0)$. Now the image under the dual $\hat\psi$ of $I(E,E')$ in $End(E)$ is the ideal generated by $[2]$. I believe that one concludes from this that any isogeny $\varphi:E\to E'$ has to factor through $\psi$. So $H=<(2,0)>$ vanishes for all $\varphi$
