It does have the i-Function button, but it doesn't say II anywhere on the lens. Are you sure it must be the II then? It doesn't say II anywhere on the box either. When you mentioned it now, I checked for images, cause before I bought I had looked and saw that the III has III on the lens itself, so I naturally assumed that this must then be the first one. And now I searched for images of the II lens, and I did find this, and it looks quite different with the text:

I have the version II and it has ifn but doesn't say II on it anywhere.  Mine doesn't look anything like that picture either.

If you look at samsung website they refer to II and III as ifn lenses but not the I

Try flashing the 1.10 for version II as it does a lensinfo check before flashing which is probably why yours didn't work. It wont damage it as it's impossible to flash a firmware for a lens that it doesn't belong to.

If you want to be doubly sure you can always download the SD card hack to get telnet connectivity to the camera and do a st cap lens lensinfo which will return all the info for the lens including the latest firmware version and model.
