iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.3
Sounds like you bought a dud. Get your money back.
Force your device to start. To do this, press Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and hold them for at least 10 seconds.
If this does not help, take a look these Apple Support articles:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.
As a final step, try the recovery mode. Turn your device off, then plug it to your computer with the home button pressed. Keep the Home button pressed until you see the iTunes logo on the screen of your iPhone. After that on your computer you should see the iTunes window saying your iPhone needs to be restored to factory settings. Click on the restore button.

If these steps don't work,request a refund.
If you changed the battery yourself, the phone is now completely unsupportable.
Return it and get your money back, find a competent 3rd party repair shop, or buy a new phone.
WIth the new battery it works.But from time to time it crashes.I`ve updated the iOS and hope it will work good.
So no luck.It still randomly shuts down and goes in bootloop...Everytime i have to update the software or recover it.Tomorrow i'm going to an Apple specialist.Any ideas what i could expect tomorrow?
You can expect to be turned away as soon as they see that the phone was opened by an unauthorized party. They will not service or support that phone.
Changed the battery.Works ok for the moment.Apple would charge me with 1065 Ron and my phone in exchange for new one.That is my wage for a month..
That wouldn't be a problem for you. Apple won't exchange it.
So...i`ve looked up diagnostics and WDT timeout.Any chance to troubleshoot the problem?

Not here, as you've already been told.

It appears that the OP is hard of hearing...or just likes talking to himself/herself.
Good job fellas.You`re good as assistants.Thank you for your support.We don`t have the money or the power to get new phones.Found out about WDT Timeout here in this community.
Did you click on the link I provided you? In iFixit's forums you will find lots of people who work on their own phones and should be able to discuss WDT in detail.
