Or flash the International modem.
It is possible to get out of it - you just need to keep fiddling with the settings in that hidden menu.
Make a note of the current settings just encase you need to go back.
corf beat me to it.:)
It sounds like you have indeed set the modem to CDMA...
You need LTE/GSM (Auto)
edit just read you have tried a full reset....in that case send it for *Repair*
Can you talk through how this happened exactly?
Its not going to be bricked.
I tend to agree. If a phone can be bricked by just operating user accessible functions then there is something seriously wrong.
The test menu is not really a "user accessible function", unless you know that one exists and google the code to type in.
It's not much different to service menus on TVs where if you know what buttons to press, you can get in and seriously damage the TV if you change settings without knowing exactly what you're doing
Bricked means it won't boot and can't be recovered.
Fair enough
The OP seemed to be saying it was. It's a bit semantic but if it can't be used as a phone it is not a lot more use than a brick
Also try removing the sim card, rebooting, re boot then re insert the sim card.
That would mean you could hop out the CDMA US walled garden network into the GSM one.
However with the international model not having this feature, I get the impression that they left that US option in the service menu, and not finding it there, it maybe gets permanently stuck in a nowhere land.
