Issue:
The IFE firmware update using RSU does not complete due to a technical limitation. The user will have two choices to update the firmware

Use Ecoreach, a newer tool that manages the update in one click
Firmware update in Ecoreach allows to up-grade both the executable binary component and webpage/device supporting files in one step. This firmware UI reuses the RSU UI but has another mechanism behind it to complete the actions.
Use RSU and FTP to complete two steps for the update to be successful.
RSU can be used to update the binary file. For more information, refer to the RSU Online Help.
Refer to the IFE user manual version 1040IB1401-02 05/2015 on page 29 in section "Updating the Webpages and Device Supporting Files Using FTP"for the steps to update via FTP
