First you should have posted this in the General section for help and assistance. Once you S-Off and install ClockworkMod during the rooting process, you will not be able to flash OTA updates from your carrier because you no longer have the stock HTC recovery installed.
You are better off installing one of the fully rooted GB Roms or check and see if your carrier's GB RUU (Rom update utility) is posted in the RUU thread and flash that.

I've been through the same process.
Flash this ROM:

Then the last radio in this list:

If I've got this right, if I unlock the HTC One through the HTCdev site, I will not be able to get OTA updates and that with S-on we can't flash radios.
Does this mean that unlocked devices are stuck for now on version 1 of the radio software? I ask this because other handsets have benefitted from radio updates. Or can a radio update be applied using a RUU?
Thanks in advance.

If your using a custom Rom, you can wait for the developer to update the rom. Or you can restore your phone back to stock with bootloader relocked and do a OTA update.

I can't remember what HTC Dev site says about updates after being unlocked, but if you're unlocked you're probably going for root, S-OFF and want to use a custom ROM, and rooted custom ROMs shouldn't be upgraded OTA or by official updates.
Yes, you need to be S-OFF to flash radios.
However, you will always be able to get the updates on XDA, so don't worry about missing out on anything!

The OP has a point. Right now there's no way you can get S-OFF so you can't unofficially flash radios. And you can't update also while unlocked so you can't flash radios officially. Anybody here with experience with the One series could enlighten us here how they deal with this? I'm not sure yet with the relocking of the bootloader as I came from a Sony device and as far as I know relocking bootloader & flashing OTA = Permanent Brick.
Plus the other problem is that on the One X, if you were fully updated, they patched the only method of getting S-off. So it was a choice, don't accept any update while still S-on or remain on current official software and possibly risk loosing the chance to S-off later.

I'm pretty sure you have got it figured out. If you are unlocked, you cannot take any OTAs that contain the software updates along with firmware updates (radio etc). You will have to RUU back to stock and then take the OTA.
I don't think it would be wise to relock with a custom ROM and take the OTA, that might mess a lot of things up.
Yeah, I've got the problem figured out unlock=no radio updates.
It's the solution I was looking for...

I unlocked and rooted my Sprint HTC One and it is running great. I used All-In-One and made sure I used the Sprint versions of All-In-One and SuperSU. My concern is will I still receive OTA update from HTC or will someone post updates on this website so I can download them?
Stock. Relockthe bootloader

Usually someone posts the update and if ur in a custom Rom the developers update their Rom according to the update. I would avoid any ota updates as some end up removing root

Ok I guess I wont worry about OTA updates then - I like the Sense rom on the M7 - its like the best rom I've ever used.

To take an OTA, you need to be stock, including your recovery.
IMO, very easy to get to 4.22 here on XDA. Unlock and root, install a custom recovery, 4.22 Rom. If you can get S-off, then you can also update your firmware.
So my friends unlocked HTC one m7 says the software is up to date but its currently running 4.1.2 sense 5. How can she be able to manually update to 4.4?

She will need the stock recovery, stock rom installed and maybe some Preload files that were deleted when she unlocked the bootloader. Read this post it explains what the OTA is looking for.
