or go get it from here http://www.appbrain.com/app/siir.es.adbWireless

2. Run the program on the mobile and the get the IP address that is shown there for later use.

3. Install SDK on windows
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

4. Go into the Tools folder where the SDK were installed and open a command line window and execute the following commands, use the IP shown in step 2.

D:\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb connect 192.168.1.11:5555
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
connected to 192.168.1.11:5555

$ cp /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
