i usually just rebooted to recovery from the cm7 menu.

it's worked this way since i had cm7.1 stable, and other nightlies.

thanks, any advice is greatly appreciated.

If the custom bootmenu is working properly, a blue LED on the phone should briefly light up each time the phone reboots (while the Motorola logo is being displayed). As soon as the blue LED lights up, press the volume down button. The custom BootMenu should display.

If that doesn't work, you could also try this. In CyanogenMod settings, go to Interface and make sure the "Power prompt" option is checked. Then, when you press and hold the power button and select "Reboot," you should see the option to reboot into "Bootmenu."

Thank you everyone,

i was able to get to the recovery menu by using the volume - at the blue light. still not sure why the reboot to recovery didn't work. it works now though.
