Did you define the APN settings?
I don't know what SBF stands for, but an SBF is a full image of a phone's firmware. More information is available in the forum.
yeah i've just been reading around about it. The thing is, ive never been able to get the data connection to work. I've tried everything. I got vodafone to send me the settings, multiple times, different types of settings etc, didnt work. I tried applications, i tried all the settings I could find on the internet, I even just tried a factory reset, but nothing.
Can ANYONE help me PLEASE! I just want to be able to use data rahhhh

The radio image is part of the SBF file, as I said above. It is the BP or Baseband Processor image that is flashed after the AP or Applications Processor code groups.
When you flash the SBF file it will flash all of the relevant code groups back to default except the user data and cache. These must be wiped manually in recovery to return to a completely stock state after the flash, otherwise data and cache will be preserved.
This will undo any changes made to the radio NVM by any means and should restore all functions. You will need to program the phone for CDMA service via *228 because the radio image will wipe the service programming. This is not necessary for GSM only usage as all of that data is carried on the SIM.
Flashing an SBF will NOT relock the device for foreign SIMs or unlock it if it hasnt been already. The SIM lock is in a discreet area of memory that is not accessed by any other flash process.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought SBF is a tool.
But ok, what should I do to reflash Droid 2 Global with its initial SBF.
1. Which tool should I use for it?
2. Where can I get the SBF image for my phone?
will this method work:

Yes, that is the method and file we released just for this purpose to recover your phone! 
This happened to me last night, all internet capabilities died, restarting didn't work at all, but mine worked after pulling the battery. My bosses did the same thing last night also. After we battery pulled his worked again also. Just letting ya know what worked with us.

I'm in the NW Chicago suburbs and have had intermittent drops like this for the past 8-9 days. I stopped by the local Verizon store late last week and was told that a number of customers are experiencing this problem.
I was told that it is a known current Verizon Network problem related to upgrading the network to 4G and that they are working to resolve it asap.
Don't know how accurate the information from a store representative may be but my data connection has always returned after a phone power cycle.

Did either of you guys contact Motorola Support or posted their issue on the Motorola support forums?

no... have you?
I've contacted Verizon, they didn't reply to my mail
I contacted Motorola, they said I need to call them to get further assistance.
And I have an open thread on the Motorola Support Forums here: https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/43393?tstart=0
But remember, I have a Droid Pro.
