19. Rename the file "com.apple.CommCenter Kopie.plist" (on your harddrive) to "com.apple.CommCenter.plist" (so without " Kopie", which is just the german word for copy) so that the name is identical with the one in the "disabled"-subfolder

20. Use WinSCP to copy the file "com.apple.CommCenter.plist" (the one you just renamed) to the iPhone-folder /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ - so the original file will be there again (and not the "disabled" one)
