Pull the bumper off. You'll have full access to the latch mechanism then...there are no fasteners holding it on which require the hood to be up:
-2 phillips head screws in the wheel arch per side
-2 M6 bolts underneath in the front X-member
-pull the turn signals out of the bumper and disconnect them
-2 M8 (or M6 depends on the trim level) bolts per side behind the turn signals
-lift 1/4" to get the bumper core off the hangers and pull the sides away from the wheels arch, it should now be off.

Try to find the cable that connects to the back of the hood pully. Grab a set of Needle nose pliers and pull on that cable. See if that works!
