Not sure if I'm getting you right..flashing what?
Can you elaborate? I'm new to custom roms.

Flash ZIP on recovery.
It's basic , Before flashing you should know how to flash stuff on recovery (TWRP is recovery you install form fastboot)
Just boot from TWRP , download the zip of your rom you wanted , flash it/sideload it and you good to go.

I did flash everything from twrp as written in my original post.
I've rooted my phone multiple times without any issue.
I know how to flash but I'm not sure what's going wrong.

Try this:
-Flash OOS on both slots and twrp
-Format data
-Flash the rom + twrp
-Reboot to system
-Go back to twrp and format data again + flash the gapps and/or magisk

[Q] GApps not visible (installed)?

Hi guys
It may sound stupid, but... It's so strange, I've never noticed it since I began having fun with custom ROMs.
The problem occurs on every AOSP ROM. I flash the ROM, then flash GApps and then I flash magisk.
Everything in latest TWRP.
TWRP says that installations was succesful, but after boot there's no configuration menu, no Google Apps, no Magisk.
I tried many OpenGapps versions: nano, pico and one more (i don't remember its name) and it happens on every version. I tried with Magisk 16.2 and 16.3 - the same situation.
What's going on?
Everything works fine, EFS (IMEI) works correctly

Trick is to flash rom and after flash twrp recovery installer.
Then reboot recovery and flash gapps and magisk. Then reboot phone and gapps should work.

This was my step by step to install lineage 17.1
reboot to fastboot
fastboot boot <twrp.img>
wipe > (data, system, davlink)
reboot > slotA: go back
install lineage.zip
reboot > slotB: go back
install lineage.zip
install twrp-installer.zip
reboot to recovery
install gapps.zip and magisk.zip
reboot to system.

Help - device always boot TWRP

Did you try to flash a stock firmware ? To install Rom you need the latest available stock firmware (because it contains new versions of Modem & stuff). Then wipe system/cache/dalvik-cache/data and flash your Rom.
This happend to me one time on a phone, I did not have the latest stock firmware before flashing Rom and my phone bootlooped to recovery.

Always boot in recovery mode after an update

Hi,
I was updating my OP6T to the new version (Magisk + Xxx NoLimits), but after the reboot post-update the device started to reboot to recovery after it booted. So I've tried to delete Magisk but the problem was still present, so I've decided to download the latest Oxygen ROM from the OnePlus and flash it from TWRP, but after flashing, the device started to always boot to recovery (before the OnePlus boot animation).
At least i tried to restore a nandroid backup of 1 month ago (System, Boot and Data), but still the device after the restore still boot to recovery before the boot animation.
I've only tried the system reboot (I've not tried to force boot another slot).
Do you have a solution to try before formatting the internal storage?
Thanks
Edit: After unistalling magisk and reflashing it again, now the device boots again, but immediately after (when the lock screen appear) the device reboot automatically to recovery again
Try this:
- in twrp , dirty flash the rom you are using (Oxygen os)
- factory reset
- flash twrp (the latest the better)
- flash Magisk 19.1
Reboot to system.
If this not working, Format data will work.

So, do you mean the classic Wipe data, cache and dalvik?

TWRP Users
1. Boot into TWRP and Flash the Latest Magisk Uninstaller
2. Flash the latest Full Oxygen OS Zip
3. Flash the TWRP installer Zip
4. Reboot to RECOVERY to make sure TWRP stays and continue to root.
5. Flash the Latest Magisk to maintain root
6. Reboot System and Enjoy the latest firmware without any data loss

I am guessing you skipped the first step...
Try this:
Flash the OTA zip
Reboot (you will be unrooted and with stock recovery)
Boot to TWRP through ADB
Flash magisk unistaller
Reboot
Boot to TWRP through ADB
Flash OTA zip
Flash TWRP
Reboot to TWRP
Flash magisk

I don't have the OTA but the full rom, isn't simplier to update with the full ROM?
I think I'm going to try the null0seven's solution

Ok, I've done this and actually is even worse, the device started to boot in recovery again and TWRP doesn't recognize that the internal storage is crypted, so i can't even access the internal storage (it shows only strange folders), so, now I can't flash the nandroid backup anymore.
I also mean FULL rom .zip.
Format data in twrp or in Fastboot. Or use MSM tool .
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/tool-6t-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-oos-9-0-5-t3867448
all of them will wipe ALL in youre phone, but it will work.

So I've to Full wipe and then adb sideload the ROM? Because at the current state I can't even boot the device, it always starts in TWRP
Edit: I've also tried the blue_spark's version but nothing changed, TWRP can't recognize the encrypted storage
you can try this first.

When you're saying you're flashing the full ROM after wiping, are you meaning the xxx no limit? If so this isn't an os rom it's just a magisk module rom that's an add on to oxygen os. You need to wipe and flash the latest oxygen os rom, stable or beta which ever you're using, then flash TWRP, flash your os again on the other slot, flash TWRP, flash magisk, if your system boots fine then flash the xxx no limits rom in twrp.

You're best bet is to use the MSM tool
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/tool-6t-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-oos-9-0-5-t3867448
Ok, I've decided to use MSM to recover the device, I've lost the internal storage, but at least the device is working again.
Thank you to everyone who helped me in this thread

Maybe it was a Magisk module that caused it. I removed pixel module from Magisk and it done the same to me.

Thanks very much it helped. I have downloaded fastboot Rom and flashed it. I have another big issue,after flashing 10.3.7.0 update I got miui stock recovery Installed so I again.
Flashed twrp from fastboot.
Then format data.
Flash magisk.
And reboot.
But after successful reboot and setup when I choose to use pattern or pin or password as authentication.The device is not recognizing my correct pin or password.It says password incorrect. Please help I am not finding any solution for this.
What is the correct pattern to install recovery to successful magisk install.
Thanks

Why did you used fastboot rom instead of the recovery rom? This way you didn't update the rom but reinstalled it. So I think that the only way to get rid of the password request is to format data partition from recovery and then install magisk. Next time you have to update you have to download the RECOVERY rom, dirty flash it and flash magisk before rebooting to system.

You have to flash twrp reboot to recovery if it asks for a password format data then install magisk. Vbmeta is needed just when you change rom from miui to aosp, so in this case you don't need it
