I had previously rooted with the skype-method (that not work any longer). So I decided to get root back witht his method. But unfortunately it gives me an error:

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Problem still not solved
No root, no telnet, no ftp anymore. Appreciate any help.

Did you disable Instant ON/Quick power off? Remember to reboot device, and then try running installer once again and post new photo Also you know that for this root you NEED TO block updates on router CORRECTLY ?

[fraglord]

There is no instant on in my menu.
The TV has been rebooted numerous times, even did disconnect it from power completely before trying the installer again without any success. I also tried the rooting with & without a second USB stick inserted. Error is still the same.
OTA & OTN is disabled in service menu and the update URLs ( samsungotn.net,msecnd.net, http://www.samsungotn.net, test.samsungotn.net) blocked in the router.

Well some news that are at least partially good. I recreated a virgin USB stick according to the old instructions back when skype root still worked: https://forum.samygo.tv/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=8469
The TV was continously rebooting so after few minutes i disconnect it from power. It still reboots around every 5 minutes but during that period I have access to it by telnet! I guess the best would be to get rid of root and start from scratch. How can I remove root?

if you disconnect usb it still reboots ? I think problem might be on your usb

[fraglord]

No, without USB no reboot and rock solid - but also without root.
I also copied the contents to a known good USB stick with the same result.

Awesome, your root IS OKAY. Problem is on usb BTW next time try providing logs, it often helps

log looks okay, problem is with init scripts
