Have you tried pulling the handle then giving the hood a quick whack with your hand? Just a quick hit over the latch with the base of a closed fist. Obviously not so hard you do damage to the car or yourself, but just enough to jar it. You may need somebody to pull the handle at the same time. It’s a little bit of an art. If it gets it open, I suggest closing the hood like you mean it. It’s not the tailgate, there’s no soft close latch. Although, make sure there’s nothing obstructing it from latching. I left the cap from a washer fluid bottle on the radiator support, wouldn’t latch. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

On mine, late 2010, the cable is in 2 pieces. Cable from the handle goes to the near side wing, I think behind the plastic inner wing cover and I think quite high up and near the front.
