You have to flash TWRP, enter TWRP and then reboot directly to Recovery. That way, TWRP will modify the system so it will not replace TWRP with stock recovery.

Flash TWRP;
Boot directly into TWRP;
Flash Magisk with TWRP.
Magisk should prevent the stock recovery from replacing TWRP.

you need to flash supersu or magisk right after flashing OOS to prevent OOS from overwriting the recovery with stock one, as mentioned above..

TWRP Not working

Hi, I have a essential phone running Oreo 8.1, just recently I have rooted the phone with magisk v16 an twrp 3.2.1, I successfully flashed it with twrp but after the flash whenever I want to get into twrp it just freezes up on the mount data screen and I have to force reboot it, does anyone know a solution to this problem

Make sure you're following the exact steps from this post. Every step is crucial (except #3, because you have to disable your screen lock before booting twrp.
You shouldn't have to manually mount anything in TWRP either. The magisk installer might give you an error about mounting system but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

You cannot have TWRP installed with 8.x.
TWRP is not compatible.
You must flash the original boot image, then install magisk.
TWRP cannot remain.
You will boot loop.
Please read the instructions on rooting carefully.

Ok thank you

Why can't TWRP replace recovery instead of boot?

No one has created a bit image with TWRP as the recovery.

Because the partition layout of the Essential does not have a recovery partition.
Recovery is contained in the boot image.
So to have TWRP resident/permanent, the boot image must be patched.
It has been done for 7.x, but sense 8.x is still beta, there is no official TWRP for Oreo.
Once Oreo is final, I expect we will get a TWRP that works.
The current limitation, means you can't flash without a computer handy.

Recovery flash won't actually work

I'm on OxygenOS 5.1.7 (Android 8.1) with unlocked bootloader but stock recovery, coming from full OTA update on rooted OOS 5.1.5, crypted data.
If I try to flash recovery (tried many version, last one is TWRP 3.2.3 siankatabg) from fastboot the flash works with "OKAY" and "Finished" messages, but too quickly (0.013s for writing), and it doesn't actually install TWRP. After reboot I'm still on stock recovery.
I tried to flash full 5.1.7 zip again. It went well, but too quickly, and didn't solve the problem.
How can I fix without having to format data?

Have you flashed magisk after reboot to twrp recovery? Otherwise oxygenOS will overwrite twrp with stock recovery on its first reboot.

I'm not able to reboot to TWRP! Just after flashing it, if I "fastboot reboot recovery" it reboots to stock recovery

Maybe you've missed some steps earlier to the flashing of twrp. Check this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877
If you have further issues, please post a console log of the commands you typed and the errors if there are any.

Solved! I was doing "reboot recovery" instead of "boot recovery.img". Noob mistake
Thanks!

you need to flash Magisk before rebooting from TWRP

I am following all the steps in guide but when i try to install TWRP by siankatabg it keeps me looping back to fastboot.
Not facing any issues if i install normal TWRP recovery.

You should edit your post cause you already solved it by your own.

'The System has been Destroyed' when installing TWRP zip in hotboot TWRP

UPDATE - Did not manage to find a way to get TWRP installed permanently but did manage to install Lineage OS 16 (which was my end goal) via hotboot of their recovery IMG, so happy with that at least! Appreciate any help given!
Not sure what I am doing wrong. have never come across this before!
I just completely reset my phone to stock via MiFlash
I then boot into TWRP recovery from Fastboot
I then install the TWRP installer in TWRP
I then reboot to recovery but get 'The System has been Destroyed'
I can still boot into the stock ROM
I can still boot into Fastboot
I just can't seem to get TWRP to install, I can only access it in hotboot
Any help would be amazing!

It's a known issue with Stock Pie and permanent TWRP.
A solution is to install magisk before booting to system

Unfortunately did not do the trick for me
I installed TWRP then magisk, then rebooted to system
I then rebooted back to recovery but still get 'The system has been destroyed' message

Never install twrp on stock pie. You'll get the same message. Hotboot it only.

From what I have tried it seems that it is a bug with stock pie, custom roms with pie and stock oreo don't have this problem.
Anyway, you can basically get the same functionality by hotbooting but it's less convenient.

I have TWRP installed and resurrection remix. Maybe their TWRP works for you, just check the instructions and give it a try.

I think you should install TWRP in both slot A and B for it to work.

Weird, it used to work for me when I was on stock pie.
I'm on a custom rom right now so I cannot test if it still works.
Sorry

I also have the same problem but now I'm on a custom rom and the TWRP without magisk works, but I would like to try an sGSI, on a custom rom does the procedure work?

Try another twrp

I'm here also had the same problem on mi A2 lite
But Rom run smooth and stable for a long time that I even forgot I have no twrp. Instead I backed up with titanium bk just in case. So ,Hotbooted with adb.... less convinient but u get to where u wanna flash though

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.

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?

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.

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.

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