you will need to manually lift on the latching mechanism with a Phillips head screw driver or other rod while raising the hatch with the fob button.

maybe a long shot but I would probably try disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, then hitting the trunk button on the fob again. Or call jaguar roadside.

Is it a powered tailgate?
Does the remote key fob open/close all other functions? (i.e doors / gas tank flap etc)?
