Tried Stock, CM10, now on AOKP-JB built 3
So you are running AOKP , so i assume you are not just talking about moving files from your PC to your tab , after installing the correct drivers from Samsung ( either via Kies or Windows update).
So what exactly do you want to do ? Am i right in saying that you want full access from your PC to your tab via USB ? From what I have worked out it doesn't work like that with our tabs as the set permissions wont let you. Or have it got it wrong ?
Have you read this thread by ChainFire? ( he IS the man ! ).

MTP vs MSC mode... We don't like MTP, it's very very very better MSC aka USA Mass Storage Mode

Sorry, I don't understand why it's better. I just bought a Tab 2 and when I hooked it up to my pc I could see the folders and files and copy music and videos to it. I was going to hook it up again now to see if it's about getting into system files or something, but I'm exchanging it later today and I already did a factory reset.
Is it something to do with modding system files, rooting and flashing files that's easier with it? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm new to the Tab and rooting and flashing on my phone (Rezound) is so completely different than this, I'm still absorbing everything and trying to understand it all before I do anything with a Tab.

Simple... MTP permits u to copy to / from video, music, photo... files. Finish.
USB Mass Storage gives u the total permission of copying files but also... format partition, defrag, open files directly from the device, etc etc.

I just flashed to Pinnacle 1.3( was on Fasty III before ) and I've noticed that with Gingerbread Roms, i just cant seem to be able to Mount the File system on my Windows 7 pc.
Using USB-Debugging mode, i connect my Capy to my pc and then mount the file system, but it doesnt show up in my PC
i also tried directly mounting it as Mass Storage, again not showing up!
Tried all USB Ports, Different Cable etc etc
Weird thing is, when i flash back to Stock using Odin 1 click, ie when im on JF6, I am able to Mount the File system!!!
Another Weird thing is, that i am able to Mount my phone ( with Pinnacle or Fasty) on my friends PC, by installing the same drivers that i have for my PC
whats Wrong? I have also uninstalled all drivers and re installed them, used driver cleaners etc
Never had that problem on win 7. Don't know what to tell you.
Are you using the correct drivers?
Yea!! i am...i really dont know whats the problem! and i dont wanna format the whole thing!
Im using the drivers mentioned in the Sticky Threads...ODIN 1 click thread to be precise

When you say you tried another cable, do you mean another SAMSUNG cable or something else? The problem you describe is very often attributable to the cable. The Samsung cable that came with my Cappy worked just fine with my old computer (PowerMac G5), but refused to work with my new iMac.
I tried also using a RocketFish micro USB cable, and had zero luck with that.
After much screwing around and swearing, I tried using my wife's MOTOROLA cable, and the computer recognized the phone with that.
I'm nothing close to an expert on electronics, but I suspect it has something to do with voltages on different computers.
I suggest trying to get your hands on a Motorola cable and seeing if that fixes it. Perhaps the Gingerbread ROMs have different voltage settings? Dunno...but try a Motorola cable.
hmmmm, i just tried a micro usb cable from a blackberry....ill try out the Motorola one....thanks for the suggestion

You may have another option, too...at least for transferring files. I've been using an app called WiFi File Explorer PRO for several weeks, and I love it. You can connect to the phone via WiFi (if you have it available) and transfer files back and forth just using a web browser on your computer.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dooblou.WiFiFileExplorerPRO&feature=more_from_developer
Since I started using this app, I haven't needed to futz with a cable at all. It obviously won't help you with Odin, Heimdall, or any one-click utilities that require you to be connected via USB, but it will help you get files on your phone for flashing with CWM.
Not sure if it's an option for you, but it might help alleviate some of your issue.
Great Suggestion and seems very handy...thanks a lot!
Guys im facing this error whenever I try to transfer data. I have attached the screenshot below. Please do take a look and help me you.

Use a different usb cable, drivers installed correctly?, rebooting the pc might help. Usb debugging enabled?
You are maybe trying to transfer a big file and a lot of files. A friend wasn't able to transfer his old HTC files (300) to his new N5 so he opted for a WiFi transfer.

If you have a recovery installed, boot into recovery and mount storage. Then it will work flawlessly.

Hello everyone,
I was using my Honor 6 plus and android fil transfer without any problem for the past month. But suddenly instead of having the all the files stocked in my phone available on the software window, i've an empty window (as shown in the picture below). With this i can transfer my files from my computer but i can't choose were to put them, and the most problematic is i can't transfer files from my phone (cause i can't access any).
I checked most of the developper options (the mtp is enable).
This issue starts after update to emui 4.0. Befor that i rooted my phone using kingroot.
The strange thing is when i try with my girlfriends phone (honor 5c emui 4.0) android file transfer work properly.
Dose someone have an idea ?
Cheers

I can't see a picture. Android file transfer? You're using a Mac then? Did you select files from the notification panel after connecting USB?

Do you have same issue on a Windows computer? Reinstall Android file transfer.
Try with USB debugging enabled

I just rooted my s8+ with partcyborg's samfail and everything is working great except the usb isn't being recognized. I can see my phone on my computer and I can move files to my desktop but on my phone I get this message - "The connected device is unable to access data on this device. Reconnect the USB cable and try again." I have USB debugging enabled in settings. I'm using windows 10. ADB is up to date. I installed the samsung USB drivers. The device isn't recognized in kies or smart switch.
I'm at a total loss here. Any ideas? Could this be related to the 80% battery bug I was seeing? It's been at 80% for a while now.
Apologies if this is an obvious fix. I haven't rooted a phone since kitkat I looked around but the other threads weren't helpful.

So what do you wanna do with your USB connection? Just MTP (e.g. transfer files like you would when connecting a USB-Stick to PC) or you wanna do some ADB operations?
If you just want to transfer files, there's no need to have USB-Debugging enabled (in fact this is kind of a security risk when you connect to an unknown pc)

I'm sure he has looked into it. I talk to him quite a bit now that I think about it I have not heard nothing about it
My OnePlus 7 Pro acts as Read-Only when I plug it in.
I noticed there is a folder in the OnePlus 7 Pro that has a Driver executable which installs the necessary drivers and I run that fine.
But that doesnt do anything and I cannot access my phone storage at all, that OnePlus folder with the drivers is all that shows up every time.
Yes I change it to "File Transfer", yes Ive tried all USB ports and even different UCB cables and cords. Going into device manager it seems windows is being a clown and cant seem to understand the drivers. Ive attached some pictures to show what I get.
Im honestly lost at this point as to what to do. Please help.
What does my computer show? Isn't it right there called storage D? If not right click run as admin and reinstall drivers and restart, plug phone in and choose file transfer..it may or may not pop up right away that's why need look at my computer
