Now that I have recovered from my first pedrom install experance I have yet another problem. When installing pedrom at the very end it timed out I thought it was the cables fault from me moving it but it has happened again. My sequence of events are:

1.) contact TI Cares and get ams 1.05
2.) use a hex editor and copy over the header (from the 'e' in software and up, right ?)
3.) rename pedrom89.tib to pedrom89.89u so tilp can see it
4.) flash basecode 1.05 onto my ti89
5.) send tibreciever.89x to ti89
6.) launch it and use tilp to send pedrom base code
7.) wait
8.) 98%... timeout everytime and it just brings me back to the "press i to install" screen or freezes and requires APPS + ON to get to the "press i to install"

Someone please tell me what i am doing wrong. I think it should work.

you mustn't rename pedrom89.tib to pedrom89.89u, and may not use tilp to put pedrom on your calc, now you'll have to put ams again and retry by another way

You can convert the tib to an 89u, there are instructions in the older threads. But just renaming it won't work.

I did technically convert it by adding the header from AMS to the begining of pedrom89.tib then renaming so tilp could see it.

Hmmm, that should have worked... Are you sure you used the TIB Receiver correctly?

Is there a special syntax for it? The readme provide none. I have also tried sending it through W32Tran8x with no luck, it eather gives me a installation error in tibreciever or nothing happens at all. I feel that I may be messing something up with the tib. If i use tibreciever and w32tran8x do i need to modify the header? Or am i not copying the entire header / to much of? Is there a special AMS that i should use to get the header data from or will any version do (currently using the AMS 1.05 header).

Try using AMS 2.05 header. AMS 1.05 was released in original TIB format, and I am not sure it works well.
And after you have edited your file with a hex editor, try using it under VTI! If it doesn't work, do not send it.
By the way, if you have a grey serial cable, you can use "flashd.exe" from ti with TIB images.

I have tried now made tibs that use both 2.05 and 1.05 and they all work on vti. I have tried to use Tilp can't recognize the .89u (renamed 2.05 tib) when i try to upgrade with the new one and i can't get W32Tran8x to work at all i can't even get a basic program transfer to work.
