I am doing this same upgrade and I can offer a little help but still have questions myself.
1. I got my code from Ebay. Paid the 19.99 and I had the code in 5 minutes and put it in, it said the system would restart as it cleared off existing uconnect account. I came up fine, so I did not have the issue you had.
2. If you got the screen that says "telephone needs repair contact dealer" and can see all the apps then you are past the code entry. I have the error as well and all you will need is a 911 override cable that infotainment sells. it's 49.99 when I just checked.
