Please note:
 

If you have already flashed an Open Beta (you are currently running the latest Open Beta) you will receive this new build as an OTA.

If you ARE NOT running open beta software and would like to, please refer to the flashing instructions and the full ROM found in the downloads page here: http://downloads.oneplus.net/
Once you migrate to the Beta path, you will continue to receive Open Beta OTAs. You will NO LONGER receive the regular Official Stable OTAs.

Moving back to the Official OTA path from the Beta path will require a full install and clean flash (FULL WIPE of all data and cache)

Stock Recovery

Warning: Do not flash partial update OTAs (under 1 GB) on a modified device! If you want to use partial OTAs, you must first flash a Full Zip that it applies to, and then flash the partial OTA from stock recovery. Flashing partial OTAs from TWRP will either fail or soft brick your device. You can return to a usable state by flashing one of the above full zips in recovery.

Flashing Instructions:
Download the necessary files from the post above and follow as below:

PS: Dirty flash is fine if you are running a previous OOS version or any Rom based on OOS, else if you come from a custom ROM Clean Flash is recommended.

Caution: Please remove your existing screen lock/Pin/Pattern/ Password and set it to swipe before starting the update process. Although in my testing i was able to update fine keeping my pin but one user has reported unable to unlock after the Oreo update, thus remove as precaution.
