are you using a NS or GS? your sig says GS which should have ICS. Is the phone rooted? did you put the update in the correct folder? did you hit restore or manual update?

did u rename the file to update.zip?

do u have the stock recovery or cwm?

If you don't understand what I mean when I say flash the stock rooted version of the ota then you need to stop and learn alot about your phone before you mess something up.

There is no need to tell me what i need or don't need to do with my phone.
There is no point in useless advices.
Let me be clear:
I want a stock 2.3.6 rooted phone, I am very capable of rooting it myself but because of a weird bug i am incapable of doing that.
what i tried to do is to install a 2.3.6 OTA and re-root, that failed.
so if you are able to provide me with a fix it would be appreciated, if not please provide a rooted version of a STOCK 2.3.6, and not a ROM with million unneeded extra stuff.
if you are unable to help that is ok, but do not presume that because i am newly registered i have no idea of what i am doing.
I still need help ...
Why did it fail?

Are you completely stock (never flash anything and never root) or you root the phone and later unroot it? If you have a stock rom without any modification you have just to wait the official OTA if not the link have all information that you need to obtain a complete stock 4.1.2, in it you can find official google rom.
Yes i am completely stock.So currently which are the countries recieving the update?Any clue on how much ae we gonna wait?

If you are completely stock you have only to wait, at the moment nobody have received OTA on Nexus S and nobody know when it will arrive but we can assume that we have to wait only some days...

There is a way to manually update without root and unlock, you have to download your version of OTA from the thread that I suggested you and you have to learn to use adb commands. I personally tested this method on my device and it work.
You have to find a guide to install Android SDK on your PC and to learn how send adb command with android sdk (you have to open DOS command prompt and go to directory where you have installed android sdk to the folder adb...).
With this correctly installed, without any root and unlock, with some terminal commands you can manually update your device, at the end it will be completely stock without ony modifications.
After you have installed android sdk, procedure to update is this:
Connect your phone to your PC.
Reboot your device in recovery mode so power off nexus, power on by pressing both power+volume up, select recovery with volume keys and push power to confirm. And android with red triangle appear, push power and volume up to enter in recovery mode.
Select "Apply update from ADB".
On your PC copy the OTA from downloaded from the other thread in the folder with the ADB binary (adb.exe) in your SDK installation and rename the OTA as update.zip (not necessary but in this way is more easy).
On your PC open command prompt and go to folder with the ADB binary.
On your PC command prompt write "adb devices" to see if your nexus is correctly connected (have to appear a long serial number)
If yes, write this command: "adb sideload update.zip"
At the end reboot and you have a completely stock updatewithout modifications.

A second method that I read is to try to delete your google account and later insert it again and wait sync. I didn't try this, I prefer to learn how to use adb...
Thanks for helpin me out.i cleared data 2 - 3 times before i got the update again.It took me all day to download 15 mb though even after having a hi speed connection.
Thanks for the adb tip.

No problem, for me data clearing didn't worked this time, I didn't want to wait anymore so I decide to use adb!

[Q] OTA Update With An Unlocked Bootloader?

Can I do an OTA update with an unlocked bootloader? Or will it brick my phone? Because anytime I try to install a custom ROM I get status 7 installation aborted.

Are you running custom rom?? If you unlocked you won't get OTA, you have to upgrade manually and only upgrade while running stock rom.
No, im using a rooted stock rom, and I unlocked the bootloader.

Why not just lock the bootloader then take the update? Your are gonna have to reroot anyways. Pressing a button to lock or unlock isnt hard

If you Odin back to stock be sure and lock the bootloader first. I bricked the phone so I couldn't lock the bootloader and the OTA did not work after I Odin'ed back to stock..
What recovery are you using? That can cause a status 7. Also what rom are you exactly trying to flash? Trying to flash a rom not made for the phone can give a 7 error also

I'm running CWM and I'm getting the status 7 error. I used 'EZ-Unlock' to lock the bootloader and tried again, but got the same error. I'm using a stock rom (I believe). Is it best for me just to unroot and update?

What version of CWM? IIRC that error happened a lot when people were using an outdated version of the recovery.

International Users Please Read

Since there is an international and US version out you guys/gals will be getting OTAs long before us ATT users. If you ever get a notification that you have an update available please let us know here and we will help you pull the OTA. Many reasons we need it. Mainly so when an RUU drops we can decompile it.
OTA is being pushed out to international users. Please let me know when you get the notification

Here is the link for this update:

If you are interested in flashing it you must be almost fully stock. As in not flashed the stock rooted odex. If you haven't flashed any roms or kernel then you can just open this zip then open firmware.zip and extract the recovery.img from the zip and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. then you will be able to run the ota

It is the OTA update from o2 germany.

Optimized Camera stabilisation
And something about google movie
As I said Im completely Stock, and will install the update now.
You can pull the RUU from my phone if you want to, but u have to tell me what to do, or TeamViewer.
