downloaded it from the play store and installed it on my I747.
When I open it its saying it needs to be installed on my device. I click install and the only thing ive been seeing for the past 5 minutes is Busybox is installing...
Maybe it needs a rooted rom??

Yes.
What Im trying to do is to get my external 32GB SD card to connect to my PC via Mass storage because my PC does not fully support the MTP connection method.
It doesn't support PTP at all.
So I am trying to connect my external storage as Mass storage (kinda like a flash drive.)

Okay, I have not had trouble with that, so no experience in connecting. (My linux laptops and desktops have always automagically detected the internal and external sdcards.) I asked what I did above because the Busybox installer by Stericson that I use will not install w/o allowing Unknown Sources, but that's not your issue.

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.

"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.
Anybody have USB mass storage working? How about MTP? For the life of me can't find the answers. Tried the app on the play store 'SG USB MAS STORAGE ENABLER' but it only shows the sdcard as a CD drive and can't write to it.
Please help

Assuming that you are trying to connect to a computer,
USB Mass Storage does not work.
MTP Works, if you are not seeing your device after connecting to computer , then might need to install required drivers, or install samsung kies and that should install the drivers for you...
I have a SanDisk 64G XC micro SD card. Writes and reads no problem
Also USB (female) to micro OTB cable that allows me to use my 128 GB thumb drive, but not all of them.

Yes with my custom rom and kernel. I can connect any usb mass storage without a problem.
I think that OP asks about the option of connecting the device to PC in mass storage mode, i.e. just like normal pendrive, instead of the MTP/PTP protocols.
As far as i have found, it is possible only for the external storage, with help of dedicated app - there is a thread somewhere on xda, don't remember details, but hope it should be easy to find.
P.S. on Note 1 with Samsung stock ICS it was just a matter of running a startup script, don't know if it would work for Note 8

My device is rooted, I'm not as concerned with USB mass storage. I just want MTP to work. I tried uninstalling all drivers and installing KIES.
I tried uninstalling all USB devices and restarting windows 7 to install them back. I tried downloading the using the Note 8 tool kit to install them and NO success installing the MTP drivers. I tried a different computer and it works!
Any suggestions to getting it work on my computer???

Seems i missed a well. I'm afraid I can't help much with MTP problem, the only two suggestions that come to mind are: try on another PC to make sure it's not a device, secondly - on my Note MTP started to behave only after I installed the latest Samsung USB drivers (probably found somewhere on xda).
Hey guys need a bit of help. I have a HTC One X (Endev) running Cyanogenmod 10.1.2. My phone started to dislike certan apps and woukldnt let them run, I though great, A good reason to update Cyanogenmod. Now hgere is where the problem comes in. I connected usb Storage on my comp and deleted EVERYTHING from the SD card. Now I have no access the the SD card on the Phone or the computer. Any ideas ??
Thanks for your time
Which recovery do you have, think that Philz have sideload option. Go to recovery, select sideload and transfer rom from pc to sd and then flash.

If you use windows pc, go to Control Panel and find Auto Play, in that you can find "Device" and changed setting " Ask me every time". If so when you connect the device with PC windows will pop up waning for "Formatting Disk" and just chose "cancel" only.

So you didn't wipe the system, you can boot into rom and use phone? I thought that you wiped everything and have no rom on sd card to flash, that's why i told you to go to recovery and transfer rom to sd from sideload and flash, obviously you have some other problem.
Just go into recovery and format the sdcard then mount the sdcard in the mounts and storage menu ! Why so difficult
That's what i meant
Sorry, This is going to sound completely noobish but how do I format the SD card in recovery ??
Edit: Found the format etc, when I go to format it says error mounting /sdcard
UPDATE: I dont know how this worked but I reinstalled stock recovery OTA and my problem has resolved its self. Thanks for all of the advice guys
Nice :thumbup:
Since I have installed this update I can no longer access the storage on my one via usb to pc? Before the update I would just plug the usb in and windows would ask if I wanted to open this mass storage device and I would just click yes and then I was in. Now there is nothing. I tried explorer but cant gain access that way either. Is there something I need to install or change in the phones settings now? Also what the hell is MTP mode? Running stock 4.3 now and was stock 4.2.2 before this update. Do I need to update a driver on my pc now to accommodate 4.3? I am drawing a blank now as to what the deal is??? Can someone please point me in the right direction? And yes I have tried different usb cables
MTP mode is what google uses since 4.2. basically instead of the phone dividing up the available memory for apps / storage it now puts all available storage together for you to use what you need it for. before you would get phones with 8gb storage and 1gb would be dedicated to apps, 7gb for storage. when you installed too many apps you would run out of room on the 1gb and start trying to figure out how you could move apps to sd-card to get more storage, etc... now with MTP you don't have that issue. there is no preset to how much storage can be used for what.
you should not need any additional drivers other than what windows will automatically install when a new device is plugged in. also, my phone shows as a device now in explorer and not as a drive letter.
is it possible when you plugged your phone in via usb cable that you accidentally cancelled the new device install? perhaps you can go to your device manager with the phone plugged in and see if there are any devices with an yellow ! point and then try to reinstall drivers for that device.
I don't understand. MTP mode is the only way that the HTC One ever interacted with a PC. To my knowledge, Google removed USB Mass Storage as of JB 4.1
