We test it base on 2020-08-20-raspios-buster-armhf.img

You must burn the last official Raspbian firmware firstly.

  • System update & upgrade
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
#Maybe you need update linux software source, and the source of the software depends on your country, you can use aliyu sortware  source if you are in China. for example:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

#replace file comment with the following comment; 
#deb-src http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ stretch main
deb http://mirrors.aliyun.com/raspbian/raspbian/ buster main contrib non-free rpi
deb-src http://mirrors.aliyun.com/raspbian/raspbian/ buster main contrib non-free rpi

Installed it and now after reboot, it comes up, but doesn't respond to ssh.

Did the install shutdown ssh access?
