Hi,
You're in the forum for the X260 (2015 onwards) model.
There's a forum on this site for your X250 model where you may get more help.

The new key needs to be programmed to the car. The locksmith only cut the key and programmed the immobilizer (to start), but not the remote functions.

You need a Jaguar specialist or dealer with the proper software to fully sync the new key fob to the car's body control module. A simple battery reset won't fix it.
