I had my raspberry pi working in console mode. (Touchscreen still broke as per previous post)
After upgrading the firmware, the display no longer has output.
Here was the last command I ran before rebooting. I have tested this 3 times now. New build for Raspbian. Get it working via commands on this site. Upgrade firmware, no screen output.
Here were the last commands I ran:
pi@rasp-temp ~ $ sudo rpi-update

Any ideas on how to get the screen back?

You need re-install the drivers.
Use this commandsudo REPO_URI=https://github.com/notro/rpi-firmware rpi-update

Thanks for your help with this. Now I will focus back on the touchscreen issue.
