Your 4GB root volume was full with a 2.4GB Photos folder. I've copied this to your home share for the admin user.
It's important to configure apps etc. to store data on the data volume.This is not an issue which a firmware update would have resolved, so trying USB Boot Recovery would have been pointless.

Yes, it will reboot, go though about 83% and then i start seeing services names come up on the screen and then it stops altogether and says retry restart.

There have been some updates to USB Boot Recovery over the past year. There was a beta version (not sure if production yet) that has some improvements that means it should work in more different situations than previously.
However this error doesn't suggest USB Boot Recovery is likely to help unless you're using it to update the firmware and only then if that firmware update has a fix for the particular issue that caused that LCD error that fixes systems that have already run into it.
We'd need more information (e.g. some logs) to identify the cause of the error in your case.
