Тo picture on TV (HDMI) when booting from USB on rpi3b+

[DejavuDmitry]

Some stange behavior... After writing image to USB SSD (KingDian S280-120) and booting I can't see anything on my TV. HDMI cable didn't unplugged, only booting media was switched. After restoring microSD card image appears again. WTF?

But I can connect to rpi3b+ via ssh and with USB SSD I have this output:

xbian@xbian ~ $ tvservice -s
state 0x40000 [NTSC 4:3], 720x480 @ 60.00Hz, interlaced
xbian@xbian ~ $ tvservice -l
1 attached device(s), display ID's are : 
Display Number 3, type Composite

And via microSD (with having picture):

xbian@xbian ~ $ tvservice -s
state 0xa [HDMI CEA (16) RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 60.00Hz, progressive
xbian@xbian ~ $ tvservice -n
device_name=PHL-PHILIPS_FTV
xbian@xbian ~ $ vcgencmd display_power
display_power=-1
xbian@xbian ~ $ tvservice -l
1 attached device(s), display ID's are : 
Display Number 2, type HDMI 0

Any suggestions?

I'm sorry, I can't help you there. These strange problems occur sporadically, I can't say what's causing it. With one user even the HDMI output was defective, but that is not the case with you

The content on your sd-card/usb-ssd is identical?

Maybe you have a power issue

I just "reburn" image and all works. But after first upgrade and rebooting I have again "headless machine".

We're not getting anywhere like this. I'm sorry. Instead of presenting such a history log, you should rather install package by package and check if the system still works afterwards

And like I said, I can't help you there, it seems that something is wrong with your hardware configuration
