Hello Igor,
without USB plugged in HDD, the banana pie starts trough.
With plugged in USB HDD i can see only a flashing screen, no output.
Maybe the banana pie tries to start from USB HDD, instead of the SD card?
On the SD card i flashed a fresh armbian ( Armbian_5.83_Bananapipro_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.38.img ), updated to the last, it runs smoothly without any USB HDD.
I switched over from Raspbian_For_BananaPi_v1412 to armbian. On RaspBian there wasn't any boot loop.
