AN EASIER WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN DISCOVERED BY DROIDXCHAT. GO HERE http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?4905

just wanted to post this tutorial because razor showed me a way to install it without having to sbf and wipe data.Not sure where this tutorial originated but if i need to credit someone please let me know. Razor and I saw Antob125 post this in Rev's CM4DX. so here goes.

THIS IS FOR PEOPLE THAT FLASHED THE NEWEST CWM 5.0.2.0 FROM MANAGER AND CANT BOOT INTO CWM RECOVERY ANYMORE
  1. Download CWR 5.0.1.0 HERE Its named 5.0.2.0 but its actually a renamed version of 5.0.1.0
  2. Use root explorer or any file explorer to move recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-shadow.zip from clockworkmod\download\download.clockworkmod.com\recoveries\ on your sdcard to the root of your sdcard.
  3. Then use Root Explorer or any file explorer again to move the downloaded/renamed 5.0.1.0.zip(recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-shadow.zip) to clockworkmod\download\download.clockworkmod.com\recoveries
  4. Then go into rom manager and hit flash clockwork recovery and pick the DroidX(2nd Init) option. This will not redownload the file, but instead will use the renamed clockwork file we placed in the clockwork folder which is actually 5.0.1.0.
  5. Once its flashed reboot recovery from rom manager. You should now see CWR 5.0.1.0 on the top of clockwork.
  6. From clockwork 5.0.1.0. Hit Install zip from sdcard>>>choose zip from sdcard>> and then choose the ACTUAL recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-shadow.zip that you moved from the clockwork folder to the root of your sdcard.
  7. After flashing that you should automatically be in CWR 5.0.2.0 and should say it at the top of your screen.

    From there do what you need to do. Peace out rootz hope this helps

I had this same problem. Got it working by just deleting nfsshift and re-flashing cwr from rom manager. Thanks a lot for the good info.
