Could try these?

1. Reboot your Mac (IMPORTANT). Simply restarting the machine has helped many.

2. Do you have Google drive installed on your MacBook? If yes, try to quit it "completely" and then try launching openmtp again. See if Dropbox or OneDrive is installed and quit them completely. Some applications will lock on to the usb port once it detects a usb drive. See if any of the active apps require usb access which might be causing this issue.

3. Try disabling the hotplug detection from settings in OpenMTP.

4. Make sure that you have enabled file transfer and accepted "enable mtp data access" on your Samsung phone

5. See if the alpha version of the app works for you. Here's a link to the latest test flight build of OpenMTP
