Are the pictures that bad? Both cameras? I do not think oreo has something to do with it, the forum would be flooded with the issue, it must be something else, check carefully
Yes, i think so, because i often take picture so i find some diffrent between android 8.0 and 7.1.1.. Dual camera often has noise.
You should be able to flash back to Nougat no problem as long as you flash Nougat FW with v3 bootloader.
Yes, BRA8 should work. I haven't tried for myself as I don't want to install Oreo yet but in the past I have "downgraded" fine as long as bootloader version is the same. I have seen others going back to Noguat from Oreo so it is possible.
but lock oem in downloadmode in my phone is on? can i flash it? or must turn off?
Oh, now that I really don't know. OEM lock shouldn't matter whether off or on. You should be able to flash stock FW without OEM unlock on. If it's on then it should definitely work. Worse that will happen is it won't flash so it won't hurt to try.
Now whether you will loose OEM after flashing back to Noguat I don't know. I rarely flash in Odin, I only use Odin to flash TWRP, after that I do on my flashing in TWRP. My phone doesn't suffer from the 7 day thing so I don't have any experience with loosing OEM.
thanks, i will try,some pp said cant flash anything if oem lock is on. >.<
Ah I see. Just try with it off. I don't think you need it on to flash official firmware. But I know I have flashed official firmware fine with it on. I haven't turned it off since I first turned it on the day I got my phone.
I will try downgrade v3 to v3, i tried downgrade v3 to v2 with oem lock is on, odin failed.. @@. Thanks sir
Yes v3 to v2 will fail no matter what regardless if oem is on. Can't downgrade bootloader.
I flashed back 7.1.1 successfully, but I flashed back to combination firmware first, then flashed to 7.1.1

Search here or google,
Flash to this rom,
Then flash to your 7.1.1
Or just try to flash to 7.1.1 directly, should works because it's not test firmware, you are allowed to flash back to 7.1.1
OEM Unlock can be on or off when you use odin to flash firmware. It doesn't matter either way. OEM Unlock is only when flashing custom stuff.
You really should not need to use Combination Firmware when downgrading from OREO to NOUGAT as long as you are using the right bootloader. BRA8 I thnk is the is the most recent NOUGAT and you can just flash that bootloader and you should be fine. I did it and it wasn't a problem.
