You must have root to use Stickmount, without root your only hope is Nexus Media Importer, and it does not really mount so much as access.

Then why were you trying to use stickmount? That has nothing to do with what you are doing, it is used for otg.
Just plug the tablet in, install the drivers, and that's all there is to it. If that's not working, then you either have a driver issue, or usb ppt or cable issue.

If you mean mount the internal at / to your PC, I think what you're wanting was removed, you may have to find an alternate method. You can also use adb push/pull.

You can actually get MTP mode working using the following method:

I'm using StickMount with a 8GB drive, but I'm wondering if there's a way to get it under External Storage under settings?

Its likely it will show up in root explorer or root browser as ext. storage or sdcard something of that nature just a guess tho could even have factory label like scandsk

Yeah, I know it does, but I was hoping I could get it under settings too, to see how much of music, apps, etc are taking it up.
Or maybe a way I can even mount it as a SD card.
Ahh I see then I have no answer

Somehow I ended up flashing TWRP. Now my phone can only get into this and not original android. My phone also won't connect to the computer, windows tries to install the drivers but they never install successfully. Any help is very very appreciated.

Try going to mount and storage and click something that goes around USB mount/usb storage. I think its mount usb AFAIK, this should start USB MASS STORAGE mode and youll be able to transfer files from your computer.

But if like me when you try this, TWRP fails to mount.
Only other work around I have found is USB OTG + Memory stick with ROM on it.
Plug in switch to "Use External Storage"
Find ROM
Flash.
I'm unable to mount in the latest version. But if you flash version 2.4.3.0 you should be able to mount again.

I cant seem to find an option to use the Galaxy S4 as USB mass storage, only media device (MTP) or Camera (PTP) is available. Cannot find any USB options in the settings either.
How am I able to copy files from and to my SD card and/or phone HD?
I appreciate any helpful posts. Thank you!

with MTP my device doesnt show up in Mac, as well as my Sony TV or LG receiver. what to do?
Is there anyway to disable MTP and go back to mass storage? Also, is the SDCARD MTP as well?
Mass Storage is gone for good... and while it sounds bad, there's a good reason..
Using Mass Storage forces the storage partition (or external sdcard) to be unmounted by Android, so any data/apps/widgets on there are no longer available until you disconnect your device from your PC. Using MTP allows the data partition to remain mounted and available concurrently on both your device, and on your PC via USB.
1) No, you cannot get UMS back.
2) This belongs in Q&A.
3) For Macs, you will need this.

The auto-unmount is ok...

"there's a good reason" is somewhat subjective. To me the great benefit to the more general usb mass storage option is so you can connect the phone to any device as if it were a usb flash drive. No driver issues, no worries about camera or MTP mode, no Mac issues, no linux issues, no Windows issues ... it's just a usd flash drive and can be treated as such. I am ok with the side affect of auto-unmounting the sdcard from Android when I connect the phone to another device to use as noted USB drive.
Is there in fact any way this will ever come back?

There was an app someone made for the GS3 that did some filesystem trickery to expose the storage as UMS (needed root). I'm sure something like that will come around that works on the GS4 too.
I had the same issue until I installed Kies, no issues after that

How could anyone possibly know if it will come back, especially "in fact?" My guess is you would have to ask Samsung that question to get anything other than a guess or an opinion (which would be NO) but it's not "in fact" just "in an opinion."
I jumped from an S2 to the S4 and was also annoyed that USB mass storage wouldn't work either. Since I use Linux as my desktop, MTP is not an option "out-of-the-box". I therefor turned to an awesome app (that I heard about on this site!), Airdroid. Now I was able to quickly get an album/picture/book datastore onto a shiny new 32GB microSD! And yes, I know I could have put the microSD into a slot on my laptop, etc., but I shouldn't have to, just because I choose to use Linux!
I mean, its rather ironic not to be able to use Linux to connect to Linux (android), don't you think? If I'm completely wrong about this, please someone point me to the right path.
Thanks
There is a "hack" to allow the external to be read as UMS. Also, the internal sdcard is no longer yaffs2 its ext4 and only linux knows ext4. So if you were to use UMS, only a linux computer would "see" the sd card and nothing else.

elesbb,
That's awesome news! Thanks for the tip. I use opensuse (currently 12.3) with kde, will definitely make the necessary tweaks to get this going in dolphin.
Thanks again!
Ignore. Posted in wrong thread.
If you are rooted and busybox installed yes there are lot of apps on play store that can convert your externel SD Card to Mass storage.
So this is the second time it happens with a DIFFERENT hard drive.
While normally using my firetv + xbmc +usb harddrive is flawless. it is the second time that i disconnect the hard drive thinking its idling (fist time) or unmounting the drive (second time) that i lost 150gb of movies. like poof gone, never existed, just free space. i have no clue why this is happening. is there a way to SAFELY disconnect my hard drive so i can move files easier?? and hopefully a way to restore the lost files? i mean they must be there, just the index or whatever is corrupt?
*the second time i unmounted using umount /dev/storage/sda1 without errors in adb. im guessing this is not the way to safely eject the drive...

I believe you're supposed to go to Stickmount and click unmount. I'm assuming you're using stickmount to mount the drive.

Let me ask you this, when you click on 'Unmount" in StickMount, does it show you a confirmation that blah blah has been unmounted? When I click on the unmount button, it simply tells me that the active mount is whatever... Same message that I get when mounting.

Yes, you should get a second messsage that says "Active mounts none." You must have root in order to use Stickmount.

My FTV is rooted.
I can never get to unmount my USB using StickMount. I always get the active mount message when I unmount. I do have the option to kills apps preventing un-mount as checked and it has made no difference. I wonder if that is due to the USB powered hub that my USB is in and not directly connected to FTV... Not sure...
Can you confirm that the StickMount is mounting your drive using Partition label instead of device names like sda/sda1/sdb... That is the second thing that has never worked for me.
I installed "USB OTG Helper" and happy with it as it does the unmount correctly. It does not have the partition label feature.
Cant say mine has lost anything..... yet
Using a USB powered HDD connected directly to my rooted FTV.
Upon boot stickmount auto-mounts the drive but clicking the un-mount button does nothing but display the same message that appears when its first mounted...
Is there perhaps a way to tell it to power down the drive?
