I updated my Ubuntu 12.10 . after updating it asked for reboot, I rebooted my system. After rebooting my system it shows only blank (black) screen , No mouse cursor ,No terminal Nothing. I want to revert back to my previous state of system just before the update happened.

(I remembered some packages installed while updating they are XORG ,Linux-header,etc..)

Thanks.

It is not clear from your post whether you have installed proprietary graphics driver manually (not from software center/addtional driver)

It also seems the updated software contain a new kernel. So removing such update, I won't recommend at all. Also in near future you will have problem updating.

If the above two statement are correct. Please note, you need to reinstall the graphics driver again for the new kernel.

To verify, on grub menu (Press shift while booting if you use ubuntu as only OS),
go to Advanced option and boot to any older kernel listed there. IF this works flawlessly, then update your graphics driver as mentioned in the following question.
