Use this method if you haven't gotten the OTA prompt yet or your wi-fi/3G/4G is too slow to download it.
READ EVERYTHING BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEPS
YOU MUST BE STOCK STOCK STOCK 2.3.6/6.12.181.XT912 FOR THIS TO WORK
If you have installed Safestrap or Bootstrap,
uninstall them.
If you are rooted,
unroot.
IF YOU BRICK, DON'T PANIC, DON'T GIVE UP, DON'T CALL VERIZON TO SEND YOU A NEW PHONE, READ THE BOTTOM OF THE POST TO UNBRICK YOUR PHONE
(You'll know it's bricked when you're waiting about 20 Minutes in the red "Dual Core" boot up screen)
If you reboot back into GB, make sure again, you are 100% stock, no root, nothing, and try these steps again. For some it's taken doing these steps about 2 times to work 100%.
Want to be 100% SURE you WON'T brick or have any errors or problems? Or simply want to make sure you're 100% stock? Follow the guide below (Just as if your phone is BRICKED)
Last thing, make sure battery is AT LEAST 60% CHARGED, if not 100%.

ROOT of your
EXTERNAL SD card. (DO NOT UNZIP THE FILE)
3. Turn off phone.
4. Go into recovery by pressing and holding the Volume Up (+), Volume Down (-), and Power button all three at the same time. (Press and hold all physical buttons.)
5. The menu will come up and select "Recovery".(Volume Down key to go down and Volume Up key to SELECT/ENTER Recovery.)
*The Android and Exclamation mark logos will come up*
6. Press both Volume Up (+) and the Volume Down (-) buttons at the same time. Release.

10. It will take a while to upgrade, mine isn't even done yet and I started it when I started to write Step 1
11. Once it is done, go to "Reboot system now."

Once it's your first time starting ICS, it WILL take a while to load up, it is normal, it will also be "Optimizing applications" at first start up.
