Before we start,I hope you have 'open ssh' on your phone.
1-Reboot your device
2-Open the terminal&type in
mv /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/mobilewatchdog.bundle/ /
Make sure you do not forget the last “space” & “/“!
3- Type in
reboot
The device will reboot.Actually you removed the process that will kill Springboard every 2 minutes.But now you will have another problem:After 10minutes or so a hardware monitoring process will have a check on the running system.Since it will not find the process you just prevented from booting the hardware monitoring process will re-boot the iPhone.

Still,this 10 minutes will be considerably longer than the 2 minutes before.Just let your iPhone reboot and wait about 10 minutes.Normally SpringBoard should load after 4-5 minutes.Your preferences are valid again.

If your iPhone reboots after 10 minutes you got some more severe problems that cannot be fixed by this tutorial.But in my case it rebooted into SpringBoard 95% of all times.

4- As soon as you see your SpringBoard again you should make sure you copy the removed process starter back to its original position.Or you iPhone will continue to reboot every 10 minutes!So login using root and type:

mv /mobilewatchdog.bundle /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/

Do not wait with this too long as the iPhone should not reboot while this command is running!To be on the safe side you could wait for another reboot,login then as fast as possible (normally roughly a minute after rebooting started) and run the command.

You didnt actually place the phone into DFU mode correctly. Do this:

1. Phone off, Itunes open, phone plugged into PC.

2. Hold POWER for 5 seconds.

3. WITHOUT letting go of POWER....now hold HOME for 10 seconds (BOTH held now)

4. Let go of POWER.....CONTINUE to hold HOME button until Itunes see's phone and allows restore (Usually about 15-20 seconds).

Restore.

How to fix the cause of your iPhone rebooting every 2 or 3 minutes

If you messed with com.apple.CommCenter.plist recently - that is the *reason* your phone is stuck rebooting in an endless loop every 2 or 3 minutes.

Restore the original file, or re-enable that daemon by deleting the following 2 lines from the top of the plist file:-

<key>Disabled</key>
<true/>
