HTC's "Official" stance has pretty much always been that when they release a new device, that device will continue to receive updates for a period of 2 years; after the 2 years is up, it will no longer receive software updates, unless it happens to be something like a major hot-fix.... Being that the Bolt was just released in November of 2016, I think it's pretty safe to say we'll be seeing Android O / 8 .
As a matter of fact, the HTC Bolt was actually one of the very 1st devices to be released on the market running Android Nougat/7.0, if not THE 1st, other than the Pixel... I got mine the very day it was available at my sprint store, and from what I remember, the Pixel was barely available at that point, if AT ALL...

It should. Hopefully we get it faster this time. Google made 8.0 more update friendly with faster updates and more carrier friendly also.

Of course you are right.
I just see the development section here for the device, it's like a desert. The M8 already has Android 8.1 custom rom/s, while the 10 evo still with stock 7.0 :(
Yep I have an mod stockish rom for the bolt it's 7.1.2 it an multi rom I will have to give u a link if u want to try it

i have BOLT SPRINT. no logos but HTC US told me so from the IMEI. I used the HTC stock rom but it was older than the one that was on the phone '.the phone was rooted originally.

if it was the sprint is there any other rom i can put on it
