Phone System Needs Service?
I have not seen that error before. You can try installing one of the older or incorrect firmware and see if it kicks it out of the update mode. Did you go to https://www.driveuconnect.com/suppor...re-update.html and try downloading the correct firmware?
Cool! It took me about a week of frustration trying all kinds of things until I stumbled onto that thread with all the firmware links. I'm glad I could pass that along and rescue someone else from that sinking "oh crap, what have I done" feeling. Oh, and welcome to the Cherokee Forum.
Try here:

If you're trying to update the firmware, note that the USB needs to be formatted FAT32. Stuck on the Jeep Logo seems like a different problem though.
Where can I download this file? Are you able to send it to me?
I got my radio unbricked!
Turns out trying to install the wrong firmware can get it out of the update-mode bootloop. I found UCONNECT_8.4AN_RA4_16.33.29_MY16.exe firmware over on ramforum. It's older firmware meant for a 2016 radio, versus my 2014. Unzipped it to the usb drive, popped it in, it chugged for a bit, decided it's not the right firmware, and kicked it out of the update bootloop. Radio still has the updated firmware, info screen shows no aircard info so the internal aircard is still toast, and it still pops up the occasional phone error message. I've learned my lesson, so I'll just ignore that error for now on.

The download link was about 1/2-way up the thread.
