I got my phone yesterday. It looks like I have KE2, but I might be wrong. The build number is GINGERBREAD.XWKE2. I cannot update. I wouldn't know how to use KIES to do this. It doesn't show anything about updates or system settings (in the browser). The normal Android update procedure doesn't show anything as well.

Can I know how/where do you check for the latest updates for your sgs2? How come the link posted with the KE7 files are from megaupload and not from samsung? I could not find anything on the SGS2 website mentioning about this update. Only found this:
Phone Firmware Update - Mobile Phones | SAMSUNG

You need to use Kies to search for the update. Not all phones have it made available to them yet. Hook your phone up and it will notify you immediately.

By hooking up, you mean with the cable? Then I see a USB-icon, and the only thing I can do is press the home button, which closes KIES. Or do you mean KIES Air? For me nothing happens with both of them.
