If you don't see a rainbow screen, that means that the system is not able to find the bootcode.bin Can you double check that the file is on your SD card? > Oddly, if I reinsert the USB stick with the installation image, the Pi3 > boots just fine (and the system works fine, too).

My take on this: It seems you changed the FW of the RPi3 to boot from USB and therefore it just does that. You will have to change that so that the FW expects the system to be found on a SD card.
