I've been trying to get USB tethering working on my HTC One S. I have CM10.1 installed and it's the only thing I've had any issues with. I got it to work by changing the USB Mass Storage Driver in the Device Manager in Windows 7 to the RNDIS driver...but this causes storage on the phone to be disabled until I uninstall the RNDIS driver and get the USB Mass Storage Driver back. I'd like to have them both working without having to go through the Device Manager.
Has anyone else had an issue like this, and if so how did you get around it?

the mass storage setting worked fine for me for a while but when I rooted my phone the only way to get it to keep working was to turn on usb debugging also and have all kinds of extra drivers installed on my pc... well that is a problem for me so I unrooted hoping it would go back but it still has to be on debugging and only works on my main computer that has all the drivers. I know this worked fine on any pc before I rooted with mass storage enabled and usb debugging turned off.
any help would be GREATLY appreciated

I just plug usb end in to my pc running windows 7 and it auto detects, if that is what your asking! You might have to get the usb drivers from samsung site or google it.

When I plug my tab it, I get a "Connected as a Media Device" (or something along those lines) and my computer will automatically open/view the files on my tablet. If this doesn't happen, you can download Kies (software from Samsung to help install drivers and sync media) and that might help you.
Kies link: http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
USB mass storage mode is being phased out, if your in windows this is not a problem as the default "media transfer protocol" will work just the same for transferring files (albeit only one transfer at a time)but if you really must have USB mass storage, google is your friend.
usb working in ics
If you are asking for USB storage in tab then you should download nexus media importer from web.....
Your USB drive also should be on Fat32 format. Or tab will not know that USB drive is connected....
I know MTP is working, but my question concern the UMS (USB mass storage) protocol. After searching long time on internet, apparently, UMS will never work on tab under stock rom. Thanks but no solution.

I have already tried it. Nothing :/ is there any way to fix this?
Install the new LG USB driver. No need of any suite. Check cable and ports.
It will work.

Thank you very much. It works now almost perfectly but for copying files to sd is it enough.
Is there a certain driver I need to use for USB Mass Storage access? When I use a Sense ROM, Windows recognizes the phone as an MTP device, but when I use an AOSP ROM, the phone shows up as a "My HTC" device in the Device Manager, but never shows the phone's sdcard as a drive. Is there a certain driver I need to use? I'm running Win7 x64.
EDIT: Turns out my computer was using a really old HTC driver (from 2008) to identify the phone. I let it update and find another driver for it, and it used the generic USB Mass Storage device driver and added the Linux File-CD Gadget USB Device to the Disk Drives tree. I'm not sure how this will affect how Windows recognizes the phone when I use a Sense ROM, but for now this works.
tl;dr If the phone shows up as My HTC in Device Manager and doesn't show up as a USB Mass Storage Device/Linux File-CD Gadget USB Device when you enable USB Mass Storage Mode on the phone, try letting Windows find a new driver for it automatically.
Be warned that this will probably break ADB access, and you will need to keep the HTC Driver on hand to switch to when you do need ADB.
Re: Can't use USB Storage in AOSP ROMs
I have the same question. Mine just shows up as "removable storage", and I can't access anything. I instead transfer files wirelessly over WiFi using ES File Explorer, but I'd still like to know how to access the phone through USB.

Are you mounting as usb storage when prompted by phone? Disable HTC sync on the computer?

I am indeed mounting when prompted, and I'm not sure how I'd disable HTC Sync short of deleting or otherwise uninstalling it.

A friend of mine got this P3110 running stock 4.1.1; a week of usage, she can copy files from her pc to the tab (mass storage), after a week or so, she can't used it as a mass storage device nor we can have it change thru dropdown change USB options (only MTP and camera are present no Mass Storage option). Question is how this can happen? Anyone has any idea what's going on? USB debugging is off. Installed proper drivers (KIES). But now, always asked for MTP drivers and when windows tried to install mtp drivers, not successful.

Well, can't find any option in settings on my stripped down JB with Custom Kernel as of now. But I think these are possible connection types:
MTP (Media Transfer Protocol): for Windows Media Player
PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol): to act like a connected camera
MSC (Mass Storage Connection): to act like connected USB drive
As far I remember the GT-P31xx only supports 1 + 2 - not 3. 1 + 2 have the disadvantage that Android Libraries must be updated before files are visible. My experience with this is not good. The manual (for ICS in German) mentions also 3.) but I cannot recall ever noticing it.
If you want to have fast copy actions, then use an external card reader to write to the sd card and then insert the card. This wirks for sure and is the fastest way.
Also check if the device connects well to another PC - problem may not be the device after all, but the PC.
