How to go from OOS 5.0 to Stock Nouga

Since you've made the spelling error twice, its Nougat, not "Nouga.".
I think the best way you could do it is flash the special Open Beta build on the Open Beta thread and then flash the stable build zip.
Whichever way you do the reversion, you will lose partial data, as N and O do not support each others app installations.

If you are unlocked bootloader, flash twrp 3.1.1-2 and clear dalvik data cache and system, and just flash them through twrp
dont use twrp 3.2.0-0 because you cant install magisk, it shows installed but magisk doesnt seem to be recognized in apps
I've just done that, and everything seems working flawlessly
Pls do hit thanks if i help you

Does your solution avoid erasing internal storage? Because that's the part that's preventing me as it can take too long getting my backups into the phone again.

i never format my internal sdcard partition
it's taking too long time to backup and restore it again
as i said, only format dalvik cache data and system thru twrp and you're good to go

download special edition nougat revert zip file and flash it via recovery
http://oneplusroms.s3.amazonaws.com...337224&Signature=BEA4IHd/rVFqoPd2gh7EvwaoSeg=
notes :
The build will wipe app and cache data, but Internal Storage will be saved (ie: pictures and files)
Users who revert their device back to the special build can still OTA update the device to Android O build at a later date.
Steps to revert:

Download special build
Copy to Internal storage
Reboot to recovery Mode to install
Choose “Install from Local”
Choose the downloaded build to install
