Should I have a memory card to put the rom and recovery on it?
or can i transfer rom to mobile phone after formatting to install it?
You can copy it to internal storage and select not to format internal storage in the recovery.

After the phone is WIPED (not format, format removes the encryption of /data), the phone in recovery mode mounts the internal storage as MTP.
Therefore there's no need for any memory card. You can simply copy the rom from computer to the mounted MTP device.

I want to format (delete) my internal SD. Will this delete my current ROM? Is there a better way to do this? Thanks for any help...
Make sure you back up your info onto your computer. Your from is already installed as a daily driver. So if you format your internal memory, it will still be operational. But if you go into CWM and factory reset, then it may go back to stock or just be stuck in a boot loop, I've had both things happen to me.
So what if I were just to hook up to pc & delete all files on that drive? Would that be better?
I do that so I could have control and better view of my files. So that is a decent option to do too.
In CWM, go to mounts & storage, and then you can format whatever. The internal sd is called sd card, and external sd card is called emmc, pretty sure.

This info is correct. This is the other route you could go also to format your internal SD card.

Formatting it is the only thing that might be able to revive it. To backup, download Solid Explorer, turn your phone to landscape mode (you can see two panels in landscape and only one in portrait), navigate in one of the panels to your ext. SD and in the other panel your internal SD. Copy all the stuff you want to keep from your internal SD to your external SD and then format it.

If he cannot access the internal storage then trying to use Solid Explorer is useless.
Try to dump the partition to the external SD (use an external SD card larger than the internal memory):
dd if=/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0 of=/storage/sdcard1/full_dump_internal_sd
You might be able to use a linux box to check the filesystem - the file on external storage named full_dump_internal_sd (should be ext4 formatted as far as I know).

So I just put that into terminal?
Yes, but make sure that you have enough room on the external SD card to be able to backup the data.
how do i format the internal sdcard? im using cwm and that thread says its not possible. figured since it was internal after a wipe it would also clear it.
In "mount and storage" sHould be an option to format internal sd card (it might be listed as sd card only) Make sure you have all the files you need to flash on external sd card and your recovery is able to see your external sd card (our have ADB working just in case)
I rooted and unlocked my device using Freegee and installed TWRP 2.6.3.0.then i copied the rom zip to external sd card and booted in to recovery.then i advanced format to format everything including internal storage,now i don't have any rom and TWRP is not showing my external sd card which still has rom file.
I inserted that sd card in to my another phone(HTC explorer) and and booted in to TWRP recovery and there recovery detects my card but not when i insert it in to OGP.
Now i don't have any ROM ,please somebody tell me how to mount SDcard or how to push file to the internal storage.
thank you.
EDITk fixed.moved file to internal using ADB and it worked.still i don't understand why it won't detect my external SD card.thank you.
