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?
ps.i am in india.

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!

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?

Ight guys like the title says I need help on getting my gs3 back to where I can unlock my bootloader.. when I had first got the phone I was able to root and unlock and then as u all know about Verizon forcing update on our phones it happened to mine.. so I went ahead and rooted the phone with no problem and then downloaded the ez-unlock and it says that my bootloader is unlocked but it doesn't let me lock it but anyways I downloaded the cm10 nightly and gapps and when I flashed it and when I rebooted it it went to a message saying that I have downloaded a unauthorized software and that I had to take it to Verizon... so I did the whole system flash think and went back to stock the. Rooted again and the ez app tells me that my bootloader is still unlocked so I powers off and went to the downloading thing on boot up and at the bottom it shows a quadcomm secureboot. Enabled is they why I cant flash cm10??

If you have taken the 4.3 OTA, you cannot unlock your bootloader. Any attempt to do so will brick your device. If you have already attempted it this thread will most likely help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586319
If you already bricked it you can download a debrick file, download the 16 gb pit file or do a factory restore from scratch. I was able to get rooted, and unlocked on 4.3 with my S3 let me take a look back at my files, and I can tell you which ones you need, and how to fix your issues.:good:

This. ^^
I used 1.2 on my VZW GS III with 4.4.2 and it got bricked upon reboot. And from what I've seen it was as soon as the 4.3 update and I believe a recent firmware update, as well. If you have the latest firmware and at least 4.3, don't use EZ-Unlock at all unless you want to go through hoops to possibly (no guarantee) get it working again.

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

If you are interested in flashing it you must be almost fully stock. As in not flashed the stock rooted odex.

Hmmm. So what can you do

ii. Root your phone or unlock your bootloader. This will void your Guarantee and support from Google.
