Unenroll from the beta on the website. That should get you an update that rolls you back.
Doing this will wipe your phone.

To bad I can't install the OTA over DP2. Guess I'll have to wait
My device is 2 month old with locked bootloader and no root
I got one major ota update from September to October. No more updates for me. Does anyone face same problem?

You should probably flash the latest ROM, either 7.12.19 Nougat through Mi Flash or Oreo through Jamflux's flasher script.

You don't need to unlock your bootloader to flash via MiFlash or Jamflux's flasher I think they do it automatically if they ever need it.
And they can also relock it after if you want.
I've seen a lot of posts and discussion on how to upgrade from Exynos, but I have a T-Mobile G950U. I am on build ZQKS. How do I go about upgrading?

Flash BQL1 firmware, then flash CRB2 from Samsung.firmware.science
Download the update.zip to your sd card, boot to recovery, flash from there. The latest is CRB3 but battery drain is terrible, but these are the latest Oreo builds for our device

I'm reading currently that Oreo final has not been rolled out in US yet. Should I wait until it is and then follow the same instructions to update to it?

It "should" be out by the end of this month, you can if you want. But it'll be OTA when it's final. So if you're on Verizon BQL1 you'll get a system update and it'll do it like that, there won't be any need to use recovery or that website.
It's up to you though, I've been running Oreo for the last month and it's been pretty good so far, SOT is around 6 hours and performance is great. Substratum just sucks is all.
My build number is WAS-LX3C605B186 EMUI 5.1. I want to update to Oreo and firmware finder has a PV update available among others but now I'm reading that firmware finder stopped working is this true? If so what is the most accepted method for upgrading? I'm still not getting the update through the official channels and I'd like to speed things up.
I think u have some minor update to B187 (as i had) then u can c ur emui 8 full update in system update

Oh is that how it is? Yeah, I do have that minor update available to B188 I think. Will I have to reroot after applying it? I just want to know in order to plan ahead.

Yes it is?
U need stock recovery partition(not twrp) so after minor update may not lose ur root but i lost my root after full update to emui 8 and bootloader locked again.

What if I want supersu? Is there a binary somewhere? Can I use the same I used for nougat or can that brick my device?
Is there anything special that I need to do to downgrade from Pie back to Oreo?
I want to try a few Pie ROMs and if I don't find anything better than my current Oreo setup I would like to be able to rollback.

You should be aware that Pie twrp's require pie firmware and not Oreo firmware.
This means: use older recovery if you want to test pie and roll back to oreo without any problems.
If using Oreo TWRP, can I just flash 5.1.7 to downgrade from 9.0.1?

Yes., but a clean flash may be necessary if problems occur, so keep that in mind.

This makes no sense, how is someone suppose to use Pie with an older Oreo version of TWRP installed to the recovery?
With PIE installed you'll need the PIE firmware version of TWRP and can you really flash Oreo in the PIE TWRP to downgrade?
hmm

You can flash pie firmware with Oreo TWRP. You just need to remove the compatibility.zip

As I said, I'm looking for a detailed walk-through on how to roll back my OnePlus 5 from Pie to Oreo, and there's no detailed walk-through in this thread (nor linked to from this thread)
Thanks

Post 2,3 and 4 gives you everything you need to know. You can simply downgrade but use an Oreo twrp since Oreo needs Oreo ready twrp. What are your concerns?
What about details of your device?
