You mean the log from the TV screen while rooting? Well, it looks exactly the same as posted before (I'll put it here too.)
Okay so two information. Until you make it work test ONLY on LAN. Second thing rooting works as I have explained previously. If this test was done on LAN it means there is something wrong with your usb. And to be more precise there is something wrong with SamyGO_data directory. My bet is on samyext4.img file :) You might have to try different USB... Run the app until you see GREEN OK next to "/mnt/rcSGO" until you see this no point in testing anything else :) Each test you should do like this:
1) prepare USB
2) Run the app
3) Reboot the TV with USB attached.
4) Wait 3-5 minutes.
5) Run the rooting app once again :)

P.S. You might easily break your USB (so SamyGO stops working) ever time you unplug USB while TVis ON :)
I do NOT support "latest fw" at ALL. If you have one you should block updates on router and wait for it to STOP being "latest":)
If you want me to help you please paste FULL log(s) to "spoiler"/"code" bbcodes or provide link(s) to pasted file(s) on https://pastebin.com Otherwise "NO HELP"!!!
If you want root DISABLE internet access to your device!!!!
DO NOT EVER INSTALL FIRMWARE UPGRADE !!!!

So, I have tried to use two different USB. Both do not work.
I've tried redownloading the files, they are exactly the same. (especially looked into the SamyGO_data folder, every file is exactly as large on the USB as downloaded)
I've gone through the "manual" (first post). Still, the log doesn't show green next to "/mnt/rcSGO". I've put the "file system" of my USB in a image - this is how it looks like after several times of rooting.
I can't find the fault...

The size of samyext4.img doesn't matter (it's always the same). Even if you compare broken and working samyext4.img the size is ALWAYS the same. What matters is md5 :)

Checked them. The checksum for the samyext4.img is e758e359ccac2b958d3ead7f47fd379c for me, on USB and downloaded file.

I tried unpacking with 7Zip and Windows, both produce the same file. And I have even downloaded the ZIP file via Firefox and Chrome, both the same.
Also, I've tried to open the ISO with 7Zip. Usually, this works and I can see the file structure. But 7Zip says with this ISO sth like: "This file can't be opened as an archive"

I think you might have to try different USB stick and different USB slots...

I have tried three completely different USB and connected them to three different USB slots on the PC and the TV.
BTW: I got the log show green at "mnt/rcSGO" one time, then I tried if FTP is working (it didn't), then I have rerooted again and it displayed red again.

Okay what did you do once you got it GREEN? Did you reboot? Did you disconnect USB? Once you get it working at least ONCE please add a sleep in rcSGO (I think it's explained in first post :) )

I recopied the files on the USB, put the USB in while in "More Apps" menu (otherwise it wont display the app) and went through the process. It showed green. Then, I rebooted. USB was still inserted. I tried to access FTP, didn't work. Disconnected the USB (looked on USB so it's no blinking). Put it in again to display rooting app. Started rooting app. rcSGO was red again. So I actually did nothing special.

I have to reconnect the USB every time for rooting to display the app. It doesn't work when I put the USB in when TV is off or even in Smart TV Mode. I have to go to the "More Apps" menu and insert it then.
I read through the first post, but there's no "sleep" mentioned...
