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.

Didn´t look into this one since "Windows 8.1" is not my problem and is in fact not the problem!
Some mod should RENAME that Threat to a more reasonable one and kill this one.
Hi,
I am trying to recover some videos from a S3 neo (Kitkat 4.4.2), but the problem is that none of the software I tried recognize it. I think the problem is the lack of "usb mass storage" ode (or in the other words having only MTP ot PTP modes) which results in the phone being recognized exactly as a phone by windows, and not as a simple usb storage device (I mean like a flash drive). Enabling "usb debugging" option did not solve any problem. I'm really frustrated; please help!
Thanks in advance.

The correct drivers are installed? Tried with different USB cables? Tried all USB ports on the computer?

yes to all :/
The phone used to work with the same computer and USB cable?
If ur rooted install multirom and install cm13 as secondary os.. then connect to ur pc while ur in cm13 it will detect the driver after that unstall cm 13 and connect as u do normally
like if worked
hey i found away around it thx though!
How did you fix the problem?
"hey i found away around it thx though!"
But why in the name of all that's holy would you ask the question and then not share the answer for others who regularly have the same problem? Keeping info to yourself is the best way of maintaining your "zero thanks" status...
oh sorry for not sharing what i did to solve the problem! here is what i did!
1. connect phone to pc
2. unlock
3. swipe down and touch the notification that says "usb for charging touch for more options"
4. select the option you want
easy
